Do Canada passport holders need a visa to visit MA?

Q: How long can I stay in Morocco without a visa?

Up to 90 days per entry. To stay longer you must request an extension from the local police 'Service aux étrangers' at least 15 days before your 90 days expire.

Q: Do I need a Morocco eVisa or AEVM as a Canadian?

No. Canadians do not need the eVisa for short tourism, and the AEVM electronic travel authorization does not apply to Canadian citizens.

Q: How long must my passport be valid?

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date you plan to leave Morocco.

Q: Is Morocco part of the Schengen area?

No. Morocco is not in Schengen, so the 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Morocco applies its own 90-day visa-free allowance.

Q: What might I be asked to show on arrival?

A valid passport, and possibly proof of onward/return travel, accommodation, and sufficient funds. There is no entry fee.

Canadian passport holders do NOT need a visa to visit Morocco for tourism. You can enter visa-free and stay up to 90 days. Just carry a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned departure date. Holders of an ordinary Canadian passport enjoy visa-free entry to Morocco for short visits (tourism, business or study) of up to 90 days. No advance authorization, eVisa or visa-on-arrival is required for Canadians. Morocco's AEVM electronic travel authorization, introduced in 2025, applies only to a short list of (mainly African) nationalities and does NOT apply to Canadian citizens. The only firm requirement is a passport valid for at least six months beyond your departure date, plus an entry stamp at the border. Stays beyond 90 days require an extension applied for in-country at the local police "Service to Foreigners" section at least 15 days before the limit expires. Morocco is not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply.
