Casablanca Entry Requirements
Visa, immigration, and customs information
Visa Requirements
Entry permissions vary by nationality. Find your category below.
Nationals of 70+ countries may enter without a visa for tourism or business
The entry stamp lands straight in your passport. If you want longer, pay the modest fee at the Casablanca Préfecture de Police and they'll extend your stay.
Morocco rolled out an eVisa platform for travelers whose countries don't make the visa-free list.

Print the approval letter and hand it over with your passport when you reach Casablanca immigration.
Travelers whose countries skip both visa-free and eVisa lists have to line up at a consulate for a sticker before they board.
Casablanca immigration will turn you back if the pre-issued visa sticker isn't already glued in your passport.
Arrival Process
Mohammed V International Airport runs a tight three-step pipeline meant to dump you on the curb in under sixty minutes.

Special Situations
Additional requirements for specific circumstances.
Kids need their own passport. If only one parent shows up, bring a notarized consent letter, Casablanca authorities guard hard against child abduction.
Dogs and cats need a vet certificate dated within ten days of travel, rabies shot done at least 30 days prior, and a microchip. Give Casablanca airport's animal reception center a heads-up.
Need more time? Apply at the Préfecture de Police on Boulevard Moulay Youssef for up to 90 extra days. Bring photos, hotel lease or rental contract, and proof of onward travel.
