Morocco trips Quick Information
As always, no matter how safe a country is, we always recommend getting travel insurance.
Travel Must: At the risk of sounding like your parents, make sure you get travel insurance before hitting the road. Trust us, it’s one of those things you don’t want to leave home without. We recommend either World Nomads or Safety Wing, depending on the type of traveler you are.
Electricity Socket: 230V AC electricity. Power outlets are two-prong round sockets. To avoid the hassle of having to buy new adaptors for everywhere you go, we recommend picking up a Universal Travel Adaptor before you leave.
Visa: Most travelers who want to visit Morocco can do so without applying for a visa if your trip will not exceed three months (90 days), however, it is essential that your passport is valid for the duration of the trip and for some nationals, 6 months after your trip ends (Canada and Australia). The countries that are eligible for visa exemption include the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, and most EU countries.
If you plan to stay longer than 90 days, a resident permit is required and can be issued by the police department of your place of residence in Morocco.
