Official Morocco Entry Requirements [2023]

foreigners visiting morocco

I get asked very often about the rules that apply when entering Moroccan territory or when leaving it. The rules that apply are common-sense and apply to most countries you might travel to. I will list below a few of the main things you should keep in mind, and probably research more if they apply to you. I try to keep this page up-to-date as much as possible but rules can change fast, so Whenever possible, I will make sure to include relevant links for you to double check. 

This being said, if you visiting Morocco as a tourist, are not planning to bring crazy amounts of cash with you, are not bringing animals or special items, and are not planning to do business in the country or deal antiques and art, they there shouldn’t be any special paperwork to do. But anyhow, keep reading to learn about everything you should know about entering and leaving Moroccan territory.

UPON YOUR ARRIVAL IN MOROCCO

When you arrive in Morocco at land border checkpoints, in a port or at an airport, there are two separate customs lanes: The «green» lane should be used if you have nothing to declare and the «red» lane when you have goods to proclaim. Here are my recommendation to facilitate going through customs.

1. Currencies and means of payment

The import of remote cash in banknotes and/or bearer negotiable instruments by foreigners visiting Morocco is free; however, it is subject to an obligatory declaration upon arrival when their equivalent value is equal to or greater than 100.000 MAD (approximately 10.000 USD).

This declaration must be kept to justify to customs departments at the exit the origin of the currencies. It is valid only once (one stay) and for a period prior to 6 months.

I also recommend declaring any amounts of Moroccan dirhams (MAD) you might have at customs upon your entry to Morocco. Generally, importing MAD is tolerated within the limit of a certain amount (usually between MAD 1,000 to 2,000). When your MAD is in excess of the authorized threshold and is not declared, it can be a foreign exchange offense punishable by law.

2. Personal effects and objects

When visiting Morocco – like with most other countries – you can import without having to pay taxes and duties at the entry, and without any declaration or customs formalities:

  • Your personal effects and objects in use actually carried by yourself.
  • Perfumes and toilet water – a bottle of perfume (150 ml), – a bottle of cologne (250 ml).
  • Alcoholic drinks – one (1) liter bottle of wine, – a bottle of spirits of one liter or another alcohol of the same capacity.
  • Tobacco – 200 grams of manufactured tobacco.

3. Medications

Medications that you import for personal use are admitted free of duties and taxes and do not require prior authorization from the Moroccan Ministry of Health. 

However, make sure to bring with you a medical certificate and prescription for the use of you medication (which might be also useful in case you need to see a doctor in Morocco).

4. Gifts of non-commercial nature

As a traveler visiting Morocco, you are allowed to bring, without customs formalities or payment of import duties and taxes, gifts in limited quantity and without commercial nature within the limit of a global value of 2.000 MAD (approximately $200).

Outside these tolerances, any other imported goods will be subject to the payment of the corresponding duties and taxes.

5. Companion Animals

Pets must be accompanied, on importation, by health documents drawn up 3 days before boarding and justifying that they are free from diseases specific to the species, issued by the official health authorities of the exporting country.

On arrival in Morocco, they will be subject to veterinary health control, operated by the veterinarian, under the National Office of Sanitary Safety of Food products (ONSSA). I highly recommend checking the ONSSA website for further information.

6. Food Products

As in many countries, n atural or fresh products of animal origin for personal consumption remain subject to control at the borders.  Processed and manufactured food products are exempted, from fraud control when they are imported for personal consumption.

7. Plant Products

The admission of plants into Moroccan territory is subject to the presentation of a phytosanitary certificate issued by the competent departments coming under the ONSSA (see link in the section 5. Companion animals ).

8. Hunting Weapons

Their importation is subject to the presentation of an authorization issued by the National Security (Police) departments. You can check the official page of Moroccan consulate for further information on this matter.

9. Endangered Species

Their importation is subject to the presentation of a certificate «CITES1 » issued by the department in charge of Waters and Forests. You can find more information about the process in the official website of CITES .

10. Unmanned flying machines (Drones)

This is something that many tourists miss, yet very important. Bringing drones to Morocco  is strictly prohibited.

11. Other goods whose importation is prohibited

  • Weapons and ammunition,
  • All writings, printed matter, recorded cassettes and videocassettes and objects contrary to good morals and public order.

12. Motor vehicles

Motor vehicles imported by foreign tourists not residing in Morocco are admitted under the temporary admission regime for a maximum of six (06) months. At the end of this period, the vehicle must be re-exported or cleared for home use under the regulatory conditions in force.

13. Pleasure boats

Pleasure boats temporarily imported by recreational boaters who are habitually resident abroad are admitted under the temporary admission regime for a maximum of six (06) months to be consumed continuously or fractionally during a calendar year.

However, this period is fixed at eighteen (18) months if your boat is intended to stay in a marina.

At the end of the period of stay, your boat must leave the national territory to overseas in order to benefit from a new stay in Morocco.

UPON YOUR DEPARTURE FROM MOROCCO

1. currencies and other means of payment.

As mentioned in the beginning of the article, as a non-resident in Morocco, you are required to declare and justify to customs office of exit the origin of your currencies whose equivalent value is equal to or greater than 100.000 MAD (approximately 10.000 USD). As proof, you can submit the customs declaration that you have registered upon your arrival in Morocco.

For amounts less than the equivalent value of 100.000 MAD, you are required to declare them and customs reserves the right for certain cases to request the justification of the origin of the exported currencies.

2. Cultural goods

The exportation of works of art, collection and antiques is subject to the authorization of the department in charge of cultural affairs (Ministry of Culture). You can read more about Morocco and its efforts to combat Cultural Artifact Smuggling.

3. Tax-refunded sales

You can make purchases of goods in Morocco with deduction of the value added tax (VAT) of the purchase price.  Not all products can get you a tax refund though. As an example, t ax refund is not granted for most food products,  tobacco and medications. But I would recommend keeping your receipts especially for large amounts of money – more on that below – and checking at the borders what taxes can be refunded.

4. Conditions to be fulfilled in order to benefit from tax refund

Purchases eligible for tax refund must correspond to a retail sale of a tourist nature, carried out, the same day, with the same seller and relate to an amount greater than or equal to 2.000 MAD (approximately 200 USD including VAT.

At the time of purchase and in addition to the invoice, the seller must give you an export sales slip (consisting of an original copy and three copies) bearing his stamp. You must simultaneously present the goods, the corresponding sales slip and invoices (cashier’s receipts) to the visa of customs when leaving Moroccan territory.

Purchased items must be exported by you by the end of the third month following the date of purchase.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

Passports and Visas:

  • You must have a valid passport with at least one blank page.
  • Visas are not required for visits lasting less than 90 days. Visit the  Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco  website for the most current visa information.
  • Overstays: If you remain in Morocco beyond 90 days without having requested an extension of stay, you will need to appear before a judge prior to departing Morocco. Please contact the immigration office at your local police station for details. Clearance may include the payment of a fine.
  • Lost/Stolen Passports: Please obtain a police report for a lost or stolen passport in the area where the loss or theft occurred.  Recently, police have required evidence of U.S. citizenship prior to issuing the report of loss. In these cases, U.S. citizens may visit U.S. Consulate General Casablanca to obtain a temporary emergency passport prior to obtaining a report of loss.
  • Travelers who plan to reside in Morocco must obtain a residence permit, (Certificat d’Immatriculation) Applications should be submitted to the Bureau des Etrangers of the Prefecture de Police or Commissariat Central in major cities, and to the Gendarmerie in remote areas and villages. Please see Residency Permits section under the Local Laws & Special Circumstances tab.

  • Children who possess U.S. passports and who are born to a Moroccan father may experience difficulty leaving Morocco without the father's permission, even if the parents are divorced and the mother has legal custody. Under Moroccan law, these children are considered Moroccan citizens.  
  • U.S. citizen women married to Moroccans do not need their spouse's permission to leave Morocco.

HIV/AIDS:   The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Morocco.

Safety and Security

All countries in the region remain vulnerable to attacks from transnational terrorist organizations or individuals inspired by extremist ideology with little or no warning. The potential for terrorist violence against U.S. interests and citizens exists in Morocco. Long an important counterterrorism partner with the United States, Morocco’s capable security services have taken robust actions to guard against terrorist attacks. Moroccan authorities continue to disrupt groups seeking to attack U.S. or Western-affiliated and Moroccan government targets, arresting numerous individuals associated with international terrorist groups. Nevertheless, credible information indicates terrorist groups continue to plot potential attacks in the region, including Morocco. Lone wolf attacks are difficult to detect and disrupt and can occur without warning. In December 2018, two Scandinavian tourists were murdered by three Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) supporters in the Imlil Mountains near Marrakesh. U.S. citizens are reminded to remain vigilant with regards to their personal security.

Establishments that are identifiable with the United States are potential targets for attacks. These may include facilities where U.S. citizens and other foreigners congregate, including clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, hotels, movie theaters, U.S. brand establishments, and other public areas.  U.S. citizen campers should camp in guarded campgrounds rather than isolated campsites.

Demonstrations: Demonstrations occur frequently in Morocco, are typically focused on political or social issues, and are only rarely confrontational or violent.

  • During periods of heightened regional tension, large demonstrations may take place in major cities.
  • By law, all demonstrations require a government permit, but spontaneous unauthorized demonstrations, which have greater potential for violence, can occur. In addition, different unions or groups may organize strikes to protest an emerging issue or government policy.
  • Travelers should be aware of current events in Morocco and stay informed of regional issues that could resonate in Morocco and create an anti-American response.
  • Avoid demonstrations if at all possible.
  • If caught in a demonstration, remain calm and move away immediately when provided the opportunity.
  • Exercise increased vigilance in areas that attract large crowds, such as sporting events.

Western Sahara: From 1975 to 1991, Western Sahara was the site of armed conflict between Moroccan government forces and the POLISARIO Front, which continues to seek independence for the territory. Tensions along the border in Western Sahara heightened in November 2020 when Moroccan forces conducted an operation on the border to clear a blockade by the POLISARIO Front; both sides have since engaged in a low intensity conflict along the border. There are thousands of unexploded mines in the Western Sahara and in areas of Mauritania adjacent to the Western Saharan border. Exploding mines are occasionally reported and have caused death and injury. There have been instances in which U.S. citizens suspected of being participants in political protests or of supporting NGOs that are critical of Moroccan policies have been expelled from, or not been allowed to enter, Western Sahara.

Crime: Crime in Morocco is a serious concern, particularly in major cities and tourist areas.

  • Use common sense and the same personal security measures you would normally use in a large U.S. city or tourist destination. 
  • Do not leave bags unattended. Keep them in sight and avoid placing passports, cash, cell phones, or other valuables in the outer pockets of backpacks or purses, or on tables in public places. Do not leave bags slung over the backs of chairs, on hotel or store counters, on top of your suitcase or larger travel bag, or out of your physical control in hotel lobbies, train stations, restaurants, and other public locations.
  • Aggressive panhandling, pick-pocketing, purse-snatching, theft from unoccupied vehicles, and harassment of women are the most frequently reported issues.
  • Criminals use weapons, primarily knives, during some street robberies and burglaries. These crimes have occurred at any time of day or night, not only in isolated places or areas less frequented by visitors, but in crowded areas as well.
  • Residential break-ins also occur and have on occasion turned violent, but most criminals look for opportunities based on stealth rather than confrontation.
  • Travelers should avoid soccer stadiums and their environs on days of scheduled matches as large groups of team supporters have been known to become unruly and harass and assault bystanders. 
  • Joggers should be mindful of traffic and remain in more heavily populated areas. It is always best to have a jogging companion, dress modestly, and avoid isolated areas or jogging at night.
  • At night and when moving about unfamiliar areas, avoid traveling alone and utilize “petit” taxis which vary by color in the major cities (Casablanca-Red, Rabat-Blue, Marrakech-Tan, etc.).
  • Taxis* in Morocco are generally crime-free during day time, although city buses are not considered safe.
  • Trains are generally safe, but theft, regardless of the time of day, sometimes occurs.
  • Avoid carrying large sums of cash and be particularly alert when using ATM machines. In the event you are victimized by crime or an attempted crime, please report the incident to the local police and the U.S. Consulate General in Casablanca as soon as possible.

* NOTE: Some popular web-based ride-sharing services have operated in Morocco; however, the French-based company Heetch is currently the only service legally authorized to operate by the Moroccan Government. Media report that drivers of web-based ride-sharing services have been harassed and assaulted by regular taxi drivers in the recent past.

Victims of Crime:  U.S. citizen victims of crimes should contact the local police at 19 from a land line or 190 from a mobile phone, and the U.S. Consulate in Casablanca at (212) 522 64 20 99. Remember that the local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crimes. See our webpage on  help for U.S. victims of crime overseas .

  • help you find appropriate medical care;
  • assist you in reporting a crime to the police;
  • with written consent, contact your relatives or friends;
  • explain the local criminal justice process in general terms;
  • provide a list of local attorneys;
  • provide information on  victim’s compensation programs in the United States;
  • provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution;
  • help you find accommodation and arrange flights home;
  • replace a stolen or lost passport.

Tourism : The tourism industry is generally regulated in major tourist areas.  Hazardous areas/activities are identified with appropriate signage and professional staff is typically on hand in support of organized activities. However, outside of these areas, the tourism industry is unevenly regulated, and safety inspections for equipment and facilities do not commonly occur. Hazardous areas/activities are not always identified with appropriate signage, and staff may not be trained or certified either by the host government or by recognized authorities in the field.  In the event of an injury, appropriate medical treatment is typically available only in/near major cities.  Outside of a major metropolitan center, it may take more time for first responders and medical professionals to stabilize a patient and provide life-saving assistance.  U.S. citizens are encouraged to purchase medical evacuation insurance.  See our webpage for more information on insurance providers for overseas coverage.

Local Laws & Special Circumstances

Criminal Penalties: You are subject to local laws. If you violate local laws, even unknowingly, you may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. In some places you may be taken in for questioning if you don’t have your passport with you.

Furthermore, some laws are also prosecutable in the U.S., regardless of local law. For examples, see our website on  crimes against minors abroad  and the Department of Justice  website.

Arrest Notification : If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the U.S. Consulate immediately. See our  webpage  for further information.

  • Crimes of fraud, including passing bad checks, non-payment of bills (including hotel bills), or breach of contract are considered serious in Morocco and can often result in imprisonment and/or fines.
  • Bail generally is not available to non-residents of Morocco who are arrested for crimes involving fraud.
  • Debtors can be held in prison until their debts are paid or until an agreement is reached between the parties. 
  • Passports may be seized by the Moroccan government to guarantee that debtors settle their cases. 
  • Debtors may be unable to work in Morocco without passports while still being held responsible for their debts. 
  • Prior to entering into a contract, you may want to consider consulting an attorney.

Faith-Based Travelers : Islam is the official religion in Morocco. However, the constitution provides for the freedom to practice one's religion. The Moroccan government does not interfere with public worship by the country’s Jewish minority or by expatriate Christians. Proselytizing is, however, prohibited. In the past, U.S. citizens have been arrested, detained, and/or expelled for discussing or trying to engage Moroccans in debate about Christianity. In February 2014, several U.S. citizens were expelled from Morocco for alleged proselytizing. Many of those expelled were long-time Moroccan residents. In these cases, U.S. citizens were given no more than 48 hours to gather their belongings or settle their affairs before being expelled. See the  Department of State’s International Religious Freedom Report .

LGBTI Travelers: Consensual same-sex sexual relations are criminalized in Morocco. Penalties include fines and jail time. See   our  LGBTI Travel Information  page and section 6 of our  Human Rights report  for further details.

Travelers Who Require Accessibility Assistance: While in Morocco, individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what is customary in the United States. 

Students: See our  Students Abroad  page and  FBI travel tips .

Women Travelers : Women walking alone in certain areas of cities and rural areas are particularly vulnerable to assault by men. They should exercise caution when in public spaces, including nightclubs or other social establishments. Women are advised to travel with a companion or in a group when possible and to ignore any harassment. See our tips for  Women Travelers .

Customs: Travelers must declare large quantities of U.S. dollars brought into the country at the port of entry. The export of Moroccan currency (dirhams) is prohibited; however, Moroccan currency can be converted back into U.S. dollars prior to departure only if the traveler has a bank or money transfer receipt indicating he or she exchanged dollars for dirhams while in Morocco.

Moroccan customs authorities may enforce strict regulations concerning temporary importation into or export from Morocco of items such as firearms, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drones, religious materials, antiquities, business equipment, and large quantities of currency. It is advisable to contact the  Embassy of Morocco in Washington, D.C.,  or the  Moroccan Consulate General in New York  for specific information concerning customs requirements.

Please see our information on  Customs and Import Restrictions.

Citizenship : The Government of Morocco considers all persons born to Moroccan fathers to be Moroccan citizens. In addition to being subject to all U.S. laws, U.S. citizens who also possess the nationality of Morocco may be subject to other laws that impose special obligations on citizens of Morocco. Recently, Morocco has begun allowing Moroccan mothers of children born outside Morocco to petition for their children’s citizenship. For further information on that process, please contact the  Embassy of Morocco in Washington, D.C.,  or the  Moroccan Consulate General in New York .

Residency Permits: In order to obtain a residence permit, travelers must present (among other requirements) a criminal history record check. This record check can only be obtained in the United States. The U.S. Consulate and Embassy are unable to take fingerprints to send for FBI record requests. For specific information, individuals seeking residency should visit their local police station. 

The following documents must accompany a residency renewal application:

  • Birth Certificate
  • Copy of the current passport
  • Copy of the current Moroccan residency card
  • Medical certificate from a doctor stating that the requester is free from any contagious disease
  • Court record (Casier Judiciaire) obtained from the Ministry of Justice in Rabat
  • 100 MAD stamp

Individuals planning on residing in Morocco or relocating to the U.S. may be asked to provide a notarized change of residence form. This form is available at the U.S. Consulate by appointment.

Sending Passports through the Mail: According to Moroccan law, it is prohibited to send passports by mail across international borders. Passports sent to or through Morocco via Fedex, DHL, or other courier will be confiscated by Moroccan authorities. Confiscated U.S. passports are eventually sent to the U.S. Consulate General in Casablanca after being processed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If your passport has been confiscated, you can contact the American Citizens Services section at  [email protected] to ask if it has been received.

Property: U.S. consular officers are prohibited by law and regulation from accepting personal property for safekeeping regardless of the circumstances involved. If there is concern over the protection of property left behind in Morocco due to confiscation or deportation for political, legal, or other reasons, U.S. citizens should take every precaution to ensure that available legal safeguards are in place either before, or immediately after, purchasing property in Morocco or taking up residence there. U.S. citizens are also encouraged to consider assigning a Power of Attorney, or Procuration, to be used in Morocco if necessary. More information and sample Power of Attorney forms are available on the  Consulate General of the Kingdom of Morocco in New York  website.

Photographing Sensitive Locations: Taking photographs of anything that could be perceived as being of military or security interest may result in problems with the authorities. As a general rule, travelers should not photograph palaces, diplomatic missions, government buildings, or other sensitive facilities and when in doubt should ask permission from the appropriate Moroccan authorities.

Professional Basketball in Morocco: The U.S. Consulate General in Casablanca is aware that there are local professional basketball teams who have made contracts with U.S. citizens to play on Moroccan teams. Some of these players have subsequently claimed they were not paid as stipulated per the terms of the contract.  Individuals considering playing basketball professionally in Morocco may wish to consult with a lawyer regarding the terms of their contract prior to signing. A  list of lawyers  can be found on the Embassy's webpage.

Adequate medical care is available in Morocco’s largest cities, particularly in Rabat and Casablanca, although not all facilities meet Western standards.

  • Emergency and specialized care outside the major cities is far below U.S. standards and may not be available at all.
  • Most medical staff will have limited or no English-speaking ability.
  • Most ordinary prescription and over-the-counter medicines are widely available.
  • Specialized prescriptions may be difficult to fill and availability of all medicines in rural areas is unreliable. 
  • Travelers should not ask friends or relatives to send medications through the mail, FedEx, or UPS since Moroccan customs will impound the delivery and not release it to the recipient.
  • Travelers planning to drive in the mountains and other remote areas may wish to carry a medical kit and a Moroccan phone card for emergencies.
  • In the event of vehicle accidents involving injuries, immediate ambulance service is usually not available. The police emergency services telephone number is “190” (see Traffic Safety and Road Conditions section below).

The U.S. Mission in Morocco is unable to pay your medical bills. Be aware that U.S. Medicare does not apply overseas.

Medical Insurance: Make sure your health insurance plan provides coverage overseas. Most care providers overseas only accept cash payments. You may also be required to pay a deposit before being admitted for treatment. See our webpage for more  information on insurance providers for overseas coverage . We strongly recommend  supplemental insurance  to cover medical evacuation.

If traveling with prescription medication, check with the  Government of Morocco Ministry of Foreign Affairs  to ensure the medication is legal in Morocco. Always carry your prescription medication in original packaging, along with your doctor’s prescription. 

Vaccinations: Be up-to-date on all  vaccinations  recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

  • U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  (CDC)

Travel and Transportation

Road Conditions and Safety: Traffic accidents are a significant hazard in Morocco. Driving practices are very poor and have resulted in serious injuries to and fatalities of U.S. citizens. This is particularly true at dusk during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, when adherence to traffic regulations is lax, and from July to September when Moroccans resident abroad return from Europe by car in large numbers. 

  • Drivers should exercise extreme caution when driving at night due to poor lighting systems along roads.
  • Traffic signals do not always function, and are sometimes difficult to see.
  • Modern freeways link the cities of Tangier, Rabat, Fez, Casablanca, and Marrakesh. Two-lane highways link other major cities.
  • Secondary routes in rural areas are often narrow and poorly paved. Roads through the Rif and Atlas mountains are steep, narrow, windy, and dangerous.
  • Pedestrians, scooters, and animal-drawn conveyances are common on all roadways, including the freeways, and driving at night should be avoided if possible.
  • During the rainy season (November - March), flash flooding is frequent and sometimes severe, washing away roads and vehicles in rural areas.

Traffic Laws: In the event of a traffic accident, including accidents involving injuries, the parties are required to remain at the scene and not move their vehicles until the police have arrived and documented all necessary information. The police emergency services telephone number is “190”. Often Moroccan police officers pull over drivers for inspection within the city and on highways. 

Traffic Fines: Confiscation of a driver’s license is possible if a violator is unable or unwilling to settle a fine at the time of a traffic stop. 

If you are stopped for a speeding violation, you have the right to request the video footage documenting the infraction. Once the speeding violation is confirmed, you have three options: 

  • Pay the fine on the spot and obtain a receipt of payment;
  • Pay at the local city’s treasury (La Perception). The police/gendarme officer will issue you a ‘ticket’ indicating the amount of the fine and keep your driver’s license until you pay the fine.
  • Should you wish to contest a violation, you may file a complaint at court; however, Moroccan authorities may keep your driver’s license and vehicle registration while this lengthy process takes place.

Foreign driver’s licenses are valid for use in Morocco for up to one year. After that, foreign residents must pass the Moroccan driver’s test and obtain a Moroccan driver’s license. The test is conducted in Arabic and French. Speakers of other languages are allowed to have a sworn translator with them when taking the test.

Public Transportation: While public buses and taxis are inexpensive, driving habits are poor, and buses are frequently overcrowded. City buses are not considered safe. The train system has a good safety record. Trains, while sometimes crowded, are comfortable and generally on time. See our  Road Safety page  for more information. Visit Morocco’s  National Tourism  website for additional information.

Web-based ride-sharing services are not legal in Morocco; however, some well-known companies (UBER and Careem) have attempted operations with limited success. Media reports of ride-sharing drivers being harassed and assaulted by regular taxi drivers were common.

Aviation Safety Oversight: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of Morocco’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Morocco’s air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the  FAA’s safety assessment page .

Maritime Travel: Mariners planning travel to Morocco should also check for U.S. maritime advisories and alerts at www.marad.dot.gov/msci . Information may also be posted to the U.S. Coast Guard homeport website (https://homeport.uscg.mil), and the NGA broadcast warnings website https://msi.nga.mil/NGAPortal/MSI.portal (select “broadcast warnings”).

Most Current COVID Entry Requirements for Morocco

travel to morocco do i need pcr test

UPDATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 – MOST CURRENT COVID ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR MOROCCO

As of today’s date, all COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted for tourists traveling to Morocco.

Tourists NO LONGER need to present a valid COVID-19 vaccine pass, and tourists to Morocco NO LONGER need to present a negative PCR test result.

All travelers will still need to present a completed and signed Passenger Health Form which can be found at https://www.onda.ma/form.php .

It’s a big relief to anyone working in tourism in Morocco that Morocco has re-opened borders on February 7, 2022 after the COVID-19 variant Omicron made its way to the Kingdom. 

And now that Morocco’s borders are open for tourists, and spring break and high season for tourism in Morocco is just around the corner, it’s important to know what are the most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco!  We explain each entry requirement, but if you’re looking for a quick bullet list of current COVID entry requirements for Morocco, please scroll to the end of this post .

Is Morocco open to US tourists?

Yes, Morocco is open to US tourists!  And UK tourists! And EU tourists! In fact, Morocco is open to ALL tourists, regardless of passport, country of residence or country of transit. Morocco has now done away with previous entry requirements, where countries were divided by List A, List B and most recently, List C.  So, all tourists are welcome in Morocco but with one catch … based on the most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco, any adult tourist coming to Morocco MUST be fully vaccinated.

Is being vaccinated one of the most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco?

For sure, one of the most important current COVID entry requirements for Morocco is being fully vaccinated against COVID-19.  Morocco currently accepts the following vaccines :

  • AstraZeneca
  • Covishield (Serum Institute of India)
  • Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)
  • Pfizer / BioNTech

One important note is that if you have been recently vaccinated, your entry date in Morocco should be no less than 2 weeks after your last shot.

You’ll want to present your digital or paper vaccine pass when checking in for your flight to Morocco, and you may be asked for it again upon arrival in Morocco.

Are COVID-19 booster shots required to enter Morocco?

Morocco considers “fully vaccinated” against COVID according to the COVID vaccination program protocol of the home country, meaning that if booster shots are NOT required in your home country and if you have received 1 dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, or 2 doses of Moderna or Pfizer, then you should be in compliance of the most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco.  One important note is that if you have been recently vaccinated, your entry date in Morocco should be no less than 2 weeks after your last shot.

Can I still travel to Morocco if I have a medical exemption for COVID vaccine?

Morocco does not specifically address any medical exemption for COVID vaccine as part of their most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco, but it is our understanding that medical exemptions for any COVID vaccine ARE NOT valid for entry to Morocco in lieu of a COVID vaccine pass.  We have heard of travelers with only a medical exemption being denied boarding, so if you do try to travel to Morocco with just a medical exemption for COVID vaccine, be aware of the probable and high risk of not being able to travel.

Do I need a PCR test to travel to Morocco?

Yes – Pre-travel PCR tests are part of the most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco. 

All travelers aged 6 and up must present a negative PCR test result when checking in and/or boarding their flight to Morocco.  The sample and test results must be within 48 hours of checking-in/boarding.  You may wonder how strict the 48 hour period is – we recommend to stay as close to this window as possible to avoid a risk of being denied boarding. 

The most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco do not detail which type of tests are acceptable for travel to Morocco, so we do recommend based on past entry requirements to get a “normal” PCR test, not a home PCR, not an antigen test.

You’ll want to have a digital or paper copy of your test results when checking in for your flight to Morocco, which should include a date/time stamp of the sample and test results, the name of the laboratory and/or doctor, and the mention of “negative” result. 

I recently recovered from COVID, but I’m nervous my pre-travel PCR test result will be positive.  What happens then?

Morocco does not specifically address recent COVID recovery with positive PCR results as part of their most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco, but it is our understanding that a doctor’s note for recent COVID recovery couple with a positive PCR test result WILL NOT suffice in lieu of a negative PCR result for entry into Morocco . We have heard of travelers with such a doctor’s note being denied boarding, so if you do try to travel to Morocco with a positive PCR result and doctor’s explanation of a recent recovery from COVID, be aware of the probable and high risk of not being able to travel.

Do I need to fill out any forms to enter Morocco?

Yes – as part of current COVID entry requirements for Morocco, all passengers need to fill out a government Passenger Health Form which can be found at https://www.onda.ma/form.php.  The form also needs to be signed and dated.  (You may need to be on a desktop for these links to work.)

You may be asked to provide this form when checking in for your flight; at the latest you will need it upon arrival in Morocco for Passport and Border Control.

Are there any other current conditions to enter Morocco during COVID ?

Yes!  We have explained the “pre-travel” planning for any trip to Morocco, but there are some “upon arrival” conditions you need to be aware of.

As part of the most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco:

  • Upon arrival in Morocco, all travelers aged 6 and up will have to submit to a rapid antigen test.   Please note that the rapid antigen test is done free of charge, at no extra expense to the traveler.  We have heard from recent travelers that booths are set up just past the airport exits
  • Random passengers may be selected for a PCR test , either at the airport of arrival or within 48 hours of arrival.  Please note that the PCR test is done free of charge, at no extra expense to the traveler. 

Eek – What if I test positive for COVID upon arrival in Morocco?

As part of the current COVID entry requirements for Morocco, what Morocco has stated is IF a passenger tests positive for COVID upon arrival in Morocco by the routine rapid antigen or random PCR test BUT is asymptomatic, the passenger should self-isolate, according to the “national protocol in force”. If a passenger tests positive and shows moderate to severe symptoms, then they will receive treatment in a public or private hospital, according to the “national protocol in force”.

Child Travel COVID Rules: Specific current COVID entry requirements for Morocco for Child Travelers

If you are traveling with your children to Morocco, here’s what you need to know for most current COIVD entry requirements for Morocco, based on their ages.

  • They do not have to be vaccinated.
  • They do not have to have any PCR or antigen testing done to enter Morocco. Older children traveling to Morocco must present a negative PCR test before boarding their flight.  They will also be subject to “upon arrival” rapid antigen testing and may be randomly selected for PCR testing upon arrival in Morocco.
  • Older children traveling to Morocco must present a negative PCR test before boarding their flight.  They will also be subject to “upon arrival” rapid antigen testing and may be randomly selected for PCR testing upon arrival in Morocco.
  • Older children are NOT required to be vaccinated against COVID to enter Morocco.
  • Children Aged 18: For the sake of the most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco, any child aged 18 is considered “adult” and is subject to all entry conditions regarding vaccination and PCR /antigen testing.

Where to Find Most Current COVID Entry Requirements for Morocco

We’ve found that one of the best places to find the most current COVID entry requirements for Morocco is on the website of Morocco’s Office National des Aéroports (ONDA) , “National Office of Airports”.   Please note that navigation of ONDA’s site is different on a mobile device versus the desktop version.

You may also want to consult the website or social media account of your home country’s consulate or embassy in Morocco.

In addition, your airline should also be aware of the most current COVID entry requirements to Morocco and should communicate them to you, along with any of the airline’s own requirements for traveling during this COVID pandemic.

Quick List of Current COVID Entry Requirements for Morocco:

Be prepared to present any required documentation related to current COVID entry requirements to Morocco to airline staff when checking in and possible boarding.  Why?  Airlines are responsible for ensuring that travelers have proper documentation and permission to travel to any country, because if any traveler is denied entry at Border and Passport control because of insufficient or lack of entry permission, it is the airline’s responsibility to fly back the traveler.

  • Travelers aged 18 and above must be fully vaccinated according to the vaccination protocol in their home country and be able to present their vaccine record or vaccine card upon airline check-in and boarding.
  • Travelers aged 6 and up must present a negative PCR result when checking-in for their flight and possibly boarding.  The PCR test cannot be a “rapid PCR”, and the sample AND test results must be within 48 hours of check-in.
  • All travelers must present a completed Passenger Health Form.  At the very latest, you will be required to present this health form at Morocco Border and Passport Control, but you may also be asked by your airline to present it when boarding.  The Morocco Passenger Health form can be found on ONDA’s website – it must be filled out digitally, then printed and signed.
  • Upon arrival in Morocco, all travelers aged 6 and up will have to submit to a rapid antigen test.
  • Upon arrival in Morocco, random passengers may also be selected for PCR testing. 
  • Travelers aged 0-5 are not subject to any specific current COVID entry requirements for Morocco , meaning these young children do not have to be vaccinated to enter Morocco and they are not subject to any PCR or antigen testing, before flying to Morocco or upon arrival in Morocco.

From being on the UK’s now-defunct red list to barring all Brits when the Omicron variant started spreading at a pace: Morocco has been on quite the journey when it comes to letting travellers in during the pandemic.

Entry rules for tourists have now been relaxed but not all restrictions have been dropped.

Here’s what to know when planning a trip.

Do you need to be vaccinated to enter Morocco?

No, but those who aren’t fully vaccinated must present a negative PCR result from a test taken within 72 hours of boarding. You must show either proof of vaccination or the PCR test result at the border on arrival.

Notably, to be considered “fully” vaccinated, travellers to Morocco must have had three vaccine doses - the initial two plus a booster jab - or have had their second vaccine dose within the previous four months. Morocco accepts the UK’s NHS digital Covid Pass as proof of vaccination. Children under the age of 12 are exempt.

Do you need to take a Covid test to enter Morocco?

Only if you’re aged 12 and over and are not fully vaccinated, per the definition above.

After arrival, some passengers may be randomly selected to take a rapid antigen upon entry or a PCR test 48 hours later.

Certificates of Covid-19 recovery are not accepted by the Moroccan authorities as an alternative to a negative PCR test result.

Do I need to fill in a passenger locator form?

Yes: all passengers are required to download, print and sign a passenger health form before arrival in Morocco.

Do I need to wear a mask or follow any other Covid guidelines?

Face masks remain mandatory in public spaces.

Hammams, public swimming pools and sports facilities are permitted to operate at 50 per cent capacity, and restaurants, coffee shops, shops and supermarkets must close at 11pm.

A vaccine pass is required to enter public places including hammams, gyms, cafes, restaurants, hotels, shops and sports halls. Morocco will accept the UK’s proof of Covid-19 vaccination record.

Do I need a visa?

British passport holders don’t need a visa to enter Morocco for tourism for stays of up to three months.

When entering the country, make sure your passport is stamped. Some tourists have experienced difficulties exiting the country because their passport doesn’t have an entry stamp.

How much time do I need left on my passport?

Your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay in Morocco. However, the Moroccan Consulate General in London advises having a minimum of three months validity left on your passport on your date of entry into Morocco.

Travel to Morocco: Latest rules after Covid vaccine and test requirements are axed

The country dropped covid-related entry rules on 30 september, but visitors must still complete a health form and wear masks in public places.

marrakesh morocco visit rules axed for entry

Morocco has dropped its requirements to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test for entry as of 30 September.

The only Covid-related rule that remains for visits to the country is to complete a passenger health form. Masks are also required in public places.

Marrakech has average high temperatures of around 28°C in October. Plus, Morocco and the UK currently have equivalent time zones , making it an appealing destination for a city break or half-term sun.

What you need to visit Morocco

The requirement to show a vaccine pass or negative test result to visit Morocco has been axed. However, you must still complete a passenger health form before arrival.

Details that must be filled out on the form include your address and telephone number while staying in Morocco, your flight and seat number and your passport number.

The Foreign Office advice for travel to Morocco stipulates that random antigen tests are conducted on arrival for selected groups of passengers and that additional PCR tests may be required after 48 hours of arrival for randomly selected passengers.

There are also measures for positive Covid-19 cases, including isolation.

The Covid rules in Morocco

It is still mandatory to wear masks in public places in Morocco and the Foreign Office advice adds that further local restrictions may be applied by local authorities in cities, prefectures or provinces or, in some cases, certain neighbourhoods.

If you should test positive for Covid-19 while in Morocco, you may be required to stay where you are until you test negative for the virus. You can prepare for this by making sure you can access money, are aware of what your insurance covers and can change arrangements to extend your stay in the country.

COVID-19: travel health notice for all travellers

Morocco travel advice

Latest updates: Safety and security – updated information on demonstrations

Last updated: August 22, 2024 11:10 ET

On this page

Safety and security, entry and exit requirements, laws and culture, natural disasters and climate, morocco - exercise a high degree of caution.

Exercise a high degree of caution in Morocco due to the threat of terrorism.

Western Sahara border regions - Avoid all travel

  • within 30 km west of the militarized zone of the Berm
  • between the Berm and neighbouring countries on the eastern and southern sides

Border with Algeria - Avoid all travel

Avoid all travel to within 20 km of the border with Algeria due to the increased military presence, the unstable security situation and poorly demarcated border areas.

Western Sahara - Avoid non-essential travel

The Government of Canada's ability to provide consular services and support in this territory is extremely limited.

Back to top

Border regions

The berm (border regions of western sahara).

A militarized boundary, known as the Berm, separates the Moroccan-controlled part of Western Sahara from the rest of the Saharan territory, which borders Algeria and Mauritania. There are fatalities involving unexploded ordnance in this zone each year.

Border with Algeria

Morocco’s border with Algeria is closed. Don’t attempt to cross into Algeria by land or water. Avoid boating close to the maritime border in order not to cross it.

Western Sahara

Western Sahara is a non-autonomous territory whose political and legal status has yet to be determined through the United Nations. It’s a former area of conflict that’s still littered with unexploded landmines, particularly in remote regions and the militarized zone.

We may be extremely limited in our ability to provide assistance to Canadians in Western Sahara.

Travel in remote areas

When you travel to a remote area:

  • restrict travel to officially designated tourist areas
  • seek local, official tourist advice prior to travelling to the desert areas in the south
  • hire only official guides recommended by hotels, travel agencies or local tourist authorities
  • use only a four-wheel-drive vehicle for off-road driving in the mountains or desert
  • ensure that your vehicle is properly equipped and has appropriate supplies and essentials, including potable water 

There’s a threat of terrorism, and attacks have targeted foreigners. In December 2018, 2 Scandinavian tourists were found dead in a mountainous area of ​​southern Morocco, 10 km from Imlil, a village in the High Atlas. Moroccan authorities have described the killing as a terrorist act. Terrorist attacks could occur at any time.

Targets could include:

  • government buildings, including schools
  • places of worship
  • airports and other transportation hubs and networks
  • public areas such as tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping centres, markets, hotels (specifically coastal beach resorts), and other sites frequented by foreigners

For your safety:

  • always be aware of your surroundings when in public places
  • stay at hotels that have robust security measures; keep in mind, however, that even the most secure locations can’t be considered completely free of risk

There’s a threat of kidnapping against Westerners in remote regions of Morocco and in areas bordering Algeria and Mauritania.

  • Maintain a high level of vigilance at all times, especially when travelling in the southern and border areas of Morocco
  • Don’t hike alone in remote mountain regions

Demonstrations

Demonstrations occur occasionally, mostly near government buildings in Rabat, Casablanca and other major cities.

Even peaceful demonstrations can turn violent at any time. They can also lead to disruptions to traffic and public transportation.

  • Avoid areas where demonstrations and large gatherings are taking place
  • Follow the instructions of local authorities
  • Monitor local media for information on ongoing demonstrations

Mass gatherings (large-scale events)

Petty crime

Petty crimes notably pickpocketing, purse snatchings (sometimes by motorcyclists), scams and other thefts take place, most frequently in medinas, market areas, parks and on beaches but can also occur in all types of neighbourhoods.

To limit your risks:

  • stay on major roads, especially when in the medinas, and exercise caution
  • ensure that your personal belongings are secure
  • don’t show signs of affluence, particularly when walking at night
  • avoid carrying a purse
  • don’t accept food, drinks or invitations from strangers, or change your planned itinerary at their request
  • exercise caution in the mountainous Rif region, on the northern coast of Morocco. Drugs are produced in this area and tourists are occasionally tricked into unknowingly committing drug offences

While Moroccans are generally very friendly and hospitable, you should always exercise common sense and travel wisely.

Armed robbery

Armed robberies with knives have occurred and have resulted in injuries and in some cases, deaths. Don’t resist robbers.

Thefts occur around ATMs.

Credit card fraud

Credit card fraud is also frequent.

Forced purchases

Tourists have been forcibly taken to stores and intimidated into making purchases.

Women’s safety

Women travelling alone may be subject to certain forms of harassment and verbal abuse.

Advice for women travellers

Road safety

Road conditions and road safety vary greatly throughout the country, depending on location and weather (for example, in the mountains or during the rainy season).

  • Avoid driving at night
  • Have an accident report form (constat à l’amiable), which can be purchased at newsstands, in your vehicle at all times.

Not all drivers respect traffic regulations. Pedestrians, scooters and animals on roadways can also pose risks.

National roads

National roads are generally in good condition but are narrow and heavily congested.

Driving is generally easier on the highways.

Be extremely careful when driving on the Rabat-Casablanca highway and on certain national highways because of high traffic volume.

Accidents causing fatalities are common.

If an accident occurs and only involves material damage, the police won’t usually intervene. The parties involved should complete an accident report (joint report), which can be purchased at newsstands. If the accident involves casualties, avoid moving the vehicles before the police arrive.

Checkpoints

Checkpoints are frequent. Carry your identification and vehicle documents at all times.

We do not make assessments on the compliance of foreign domestic airlines with international safety standards.

Information about foreign domestic airlines

Internet romances

Exercise caution if travelling to Morocco for romance, especially in cases of relationships initiated on the Internet.

Find out beforehand about the country’s customs and laws on conjugal relations and marriage.

Ensure that you retain possession of your return plane ticket, your money and your passport in case problems arise.

Useful links

  • Marriage abroad
  • Overseas fraud

Public beaches

While swimming conditions in tourist areas are generally safe and problem-free, public beaches in major cities are often polluted and unfit for swimming.

Swimming at some beaches on the Atlantic coast is dangerous due to strong currents and tides. Only swim at designated beaches and exercise caution.

Fondation Mohammed VI pour la protection de l’environnement - a list of beaches that meet international standards

Women and girls can be the subject of harassment when wearing swimsuits. Exercise caution and opt for tourist beaches rather than the public ones.

Every country or territory decides who can enter or exit through its borders. The Government of Canada cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet your destination’s entry or exit requirements.

We have obtained the information on this page from the Moroccan authorities. It can, however, change at any time.

Verify this information with the  Foreign Representatives in Canada .

Entry requirements vary depending on the type of passport you use for travel.

Before you travel, check with your transportation company about passport requirements. Its rules on passport validity may be more stringent than the country’s entry rules.

Regular Canadian passport

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

Passport for official travel

Different entry rules may apply.

Official travel

About Yellow Fever

Yellow Fever Vaccination Centres in Canada

There is a risk of hepatitis A in this destination. It is a disease of the liver. People can get hepatitis A if they ingest contaminated food or water, eat foods prepared by an infectious person, or if they have close physical contact (such as oral-anal sex) with an infectious person, although casual contact among people does not spread the virus.

Practise  safe food and water precautions and wash your hands often. Vaccination is recommended for all travellers to areas where hepatitis A is present.

Measles is a highly contagious viral disease. It can spread quickly from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.

Anyone who is not protected against measles is at risk of being infected with it when travelling internationally.

Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before travelling to make sure you are fully protected against measles.

  Hepatitis B is a risk in every destination. It is a viral liver disease that is easily transmitted from one person to another through exposure to blood and body fluids containing the hepatitis B virus.  Travellers who may be exposed to blood or other bodily fluids (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) are at higher risk of getting hepatitis B.

Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for all travellers. Prevent hepatitis B infection by practicing safe sex, only using new and sterile drug equipment, and only getting tattoos and piercings in settings that follow public health regulations and standards.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious viral disease. It can spread from person to person by direct contact and through droplets in the air.

It is recommended that all eligible travellers complete a COVID-19 vaccine series along with any additional recommended doses in Canada before travelling. Evidence shows that vaccines are very effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19. While vaccination provides better protection against serious illness, you may still be at risk of infection from the virus that causes COVID-19. Anyone who has not completed a vaccine series is at increased risk of being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 and is at greater risk for severe disease when travelling internationally.

Before travelling, verify your destination’s COVID-19 vaccination entry/exit requirements. Regardless of where you are going, talk to a health care professional before travelling to make sure you are adequately protected against COVID-19.

 The best way to protect yourself from seasonal influenza (flu) is to get vaccinated every year. Get the flu shot at least 2 weeks before travelling.  

 The flu occurs worldwide. 

  •  In the Northern Hemisphere, the flu season usually runs from November to   April.
  •  In the Southern Hemisphere, the flu season usually runs between April and   October.
  •  In the tropics, there is flu activity year round. 

The flu vaccine available in one hemisphere may only offer partial protection against the flu in the other hemisphere.

The flu virus spreads from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Clean your hands often and wear a mask if you have a fever or respiratory symptoms.

In this destination, rabies is carried by dogs and some wildlife, including bats. Rabies is a deadly disease that spreads to humans primarily through bites or scratches from an infected animal. While travelling, take precautions , including keeping your distance from animals (including free-roaming dogs), and closely supervising children.

If you are bitten or scratched by an animal while travelling, immediately wash the wound with soap and clean water and see a health care professional. Rabies treatment is often available in this destination. 

Before travel, discuss rabies vaccination with a health care professional. It may be recommended for travellers who are at high risk of exposure (e.g., occupational risk such as veterinarians and wildlife workers, children, adventure travellers and spelunkers, and others in close contact with animals). 

Safe food and water precautions

Many illnesses can be caused by eating food or drinking beverages contaminated by bacteria, parasites, toxins, or viruses, or by swimming or bathing in contaminated water.

  • Learn more about food and water precautions to take to avoid getting sick by visiting our eat and drink safely abroad page. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
  • Avoid getting water into your eyes, mouth or nose when swimming or participating in activities in freshwater (streams, canals, lakes), particularly after flooding or heavy rain. Water may look clean but could still be polluted or contaminated.
  • Avoid inhaling or swallowing water while bathing, showering, or swimming in pools or hot tubs. 

Travellers' diarrhea is the most common illness affecting travellers. It is spread from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.

Risk of developing travellers' diarrhea increases when travelling in regions with poor standards of hygiene and sanitation. Practise safe food and water precautions.

The most important treatment for travellers' diarrhea is rehydration (drinking lots of fluids). Carry oral rehydration salts when travelling.

Typhoid   is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among children, travellers going to rural areas, travellers visiting friends and relatives or those travelling for a long period of time.

Travellers visiting regions with a risk of typhoid, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation, should speak to a health care professional about vaccination.  

Insect bite prevention

Many diseases are spread by the bites of infected insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas or flies. When travelling to areas where infected insects may be present:

  • Use insect repellent (bug spray) on exposed skin
  • Cover up with light-coloured, loose clothes made of tightly woven materials such as nylon or polyester
  • Minimize exposure to insects
  • Use mosquito netting when sleeping outdoors or in buildings that are not fully enclosed

To learn more about how you can reduce your risk of infection and disease caused by bites, both at home and abroad, visit our insect bite prevention page.

Find out what types of insects are present where you’re travelling, when they’re most active, and the symptoms of the diseases they spread.

Animal precautions

Some infections, such as rabies and influenza, can be shared between humans and animals. Certain types of activities may increase your chance of contact with animals, such as travelling in rural or forested areas, camping, hiking, and visiting wet markets (places where live animals are slaughtered and sold) or caves.

Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, livestock (pigs, cows), monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats, and to avoid eating undercooked wild game.

Closely supervise children, as they are more likely to come in contact with animals.

Person-to-person infections

Stay home if you’re sick and practise proper cough and sneeze etiquette , which includes coughing or sneezing into a tissue or the bend of your arm, not your hand. Reduce your risk of colds, the flu and other illnesses by:

  •   washing your hands often
  • avoiding or limiting the amount of time spent in closed spaces, crowded places, or at large-scale events (concerts, sporting events, rallies)
  • avoiding close physical contact with people who may be showing symptoms of illness 

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) , HIV , and mpox are spread through blood and bodily fluids; use condoms, practise safe sex, and limit your number of sexual partners. Check with your local public health authority pre-travel to determine your eligibility for mpox vaccine.  

Tuberculosis is an infection caused by bacteria and usually affects the lungs.

For most travellers the risk of tuberculosis is low.

Travellers who may be at high risk while travelling in regions with risk of tuberculosis should discuss pre- and post-travel options with a health care professional.

High-risk travellers include those visiting or working in prisons, refugee camps, homeless shelters, or hospitals, or travellers visiting friends and relatives.

Medical services and facilities

The quality of medical care varies greatly throughout the country. Casablanca, Marrakesh and Rabat have good, private medical facilities for non-emergencies. Care in public health facilities is not up to Canadian standards.

Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment.

Make sure you get travel insurance that includes coverage for medical evacuation and hospital stays.

Health and safety outside Canada

Keep in Mind...

The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.

Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a   travel health kit , especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.

You must abide by local laws.

Learn about what you should do and how we can help if you are arrested or detained abroad .

Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict, and judgment is expeditious.

Alcohol consumption outside of licensed bars, hotels and restaurants is prohibited. Offenders may be punished by detention or other penalties. Alcohol can also be purchased from licensed stores for private consumption.

International Child Abduction

The Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction is an international treaty. It can help parents with the return of children who have been removed to or retained in certain countries in violation of custody rights. The convention applies between Canada and Morocco.

If your child was wrongfully taken to, or is being held in Morocco, and if the applicable conditions are met, you may apply for the return of your child to the Moroccan court.

If you are in this situation:

  • act as quickly as you can
  • contact the Central Authority for your province or territory of residence for information on starting an application under The Hague Convention
  • consult a lawyer in Canada and in Morocco to explore all the legal options for the return of your child
  • report the situation to the nearest Canadian government office abroad or to the Vulnerable Children's Consular Unit at Global Affairs Canada by calling the Emergency Watch and Response Centre

If your child was removed from a country other than Canada, consult a lawyer to determine if The Hague Convention applies.

Be aware that Canadian consular officials cannot interfere in private legal matters or in another country's judicial affairs.
