Passport and entry requirements for Morocco

Spain's Foreign Ministry puts it plainly: entering Morocco requires a passport valid for more than six months, and the Spanish DNI identity card does not allow entry. The passport must remain valid for the whole of your stay.

Spanish citizens do not need a visa to travel as tourists. The maximum stay is six months a year, with no more than 90 days in any six-month period. No vaccinations are compulsory.

If you hold another nationality, check with your consulate: this guide summarises the conditions for Spanish citizens.

A Spanish minor travelling without their parents or guardians needs an authorisation from the Spanish National Police, applied for in person at a police station. Only one parent needs to attend, although the consent of both is required.

If the minor is travelling with one of their legal guardians, it is not needed. The authorisation is shown at border control, not to the transport company.

On the Tanger Med ferry, the port says passports are stamped on board during the crossing: look for the police desk when you embark. If you fly, the check takes place on arrival at the airport.

The customs allowance per adult is one bottle of wine and one of spirits, or three of wine, plus 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 250 grams of tobacco. Drones are banned without prior authorisation and are confiscated at customs.

On the way back, since 2026 the European Union has applied its Entry/Exit System, which records biometric data for travellers from outside the EU: on busy days, the check takes longer.

A short checklist for the night before.
