Most travellers — including US, Canadian, UK, EU/Schengen, Australian, New Zealand and Japanese passport holders — enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. You need a passport valid for at least six months beyond arrival.
Who can enter visa-free
Morocco grants visa-free entry for tourism, typically up to 90 days, to citizens of a long list of countries — among them the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, all EU/Schengen states, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and many others. You simply arrive, clear immigration and receive an entry stamp.
Always confirm your specific nationality's status before booking, as policies can change. If your country is not on the visa-free list, you may need to apply for a visa or an e-visa in advance.
At the border
Have these ready and the entry process is quick, even at busy times like Marrakech (RAK) and Casablanca (CMN).
- A passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.
- Proof of onward or return travel (occasionally requested).
- Your accommodation address for the arrival card.
- An entry stamp — keep it; you'll need the matching exit stamp when you leave.
Staying longer
The standard tourist entry is 90 days. To stay longer you must apply for an extension at a local police station before your stamp expires, or leave and re-enter — though border officers have discretion, so plan properly rather than relying on a quick exit-and-return.

The Best Time to Visit Morocco
Agadir is Morocco's mildest year-round base: the Atlantic keeps summers cooler than the interior and winters warm enough for the beach. Spring and autumn are flawless, winter is prime sun-seeking season, and even high summer stays bearable thanks to the sea breeze.
Planning
Morocco Travel Costs & Budget
Agadir is gentle on the wallet. As a package-resort destination it offers strong value on hotels and food: mid-range travellers spend roughly US$70–130 per person per day, while a private beach-and-excursion trip with a driver typically runs US$160–350+ per day depending on season and style.
Practical
Getting Around Morocco
Agadir has no train station, so getting around the south coast means taxis, buses and private cars. Within the resort it's easy on foot or by petit taxi; for Taghazout, Paradise Valley, the Souss and longer hops to Marrakech or Essaouira, you'll want a bus or a private driver.
