Passports
Passports must be valid for at least three months from the date of entry and should remain valid throughout the intended stay. Ensure that the passport is undamaged and contains a blank page for entry and exit stamps. Check that immigration officials stamp the passport on arrival, as travellers without an entry stamp may experience difficulties when leaving Morocco.
