Maximum Alerts / Morocco
Level published by the State Department on 03.09.2026 · read 24 October 2026 · source checked daily
Morocco — official level as of 24 October 2026: Level 2/4 ("Exercise Increased Caution"), from the U.S. Department of State. Maximum Insurance covers this country: hospital settled directly, unlimited repatriation, EUR 1.5M, certificate on payment.
Every country has its own scale, so we ask them all the same question: is the whole country advised against?
An advisory covering only areas of the country does not raise the answer: it stays “No”, and the area is shown in the relevant column.
The level shown on this page — and across this site — is the one published by the U.S. State Department, from 1 (normal precautions) to 4 (do not travel). France and the United Kingdom publish their own advisories, with their own rules: they add to that level, they do not replace it.
You will be alerted only on the day the official level of this country changes.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services first, then Maximum: +41 22 ••• •• •• — 24/7 support number, an adviser stays with you to the end.
The 207 country pages — hospitals, pharmacies, police, embassies, emergency numbers, official advice from four governments, health, safety in figures, events in progress — read around the city you name. Your policy — benefits, the six steps, claims, articles. The site — prices, certificate, subscription. Nothing else: what it does not know, it says so and hands you to an adviser.
What I say on the phone
What to do, in this order
In immediate danger, call local emergency services first. Then contact assistance without delay; before engaging a service, seek approval under your policy. Cover is confirmed by the insurer.
Ask assistance where to get care and whether direct cover can be arranged. It confirms the facility and seeks the insurer's approval under your policy. In immediate danger, call local emergency services first.
Even for a pain you meant to shrug off. Without a medical certificate written on the spot, the same day, the insurer cannot cover the event — a certificate written after you return does not count.
The hospital desk sends the request to assistance. Direct payment depends on the insurer's approval and the policy; the call alone does not guarantee it. Have the response confirmed before relying on no up-front payment.
In a life-threatening emergency, call local emergency services immediately. For an arranged transfer or repatriation, contact assistance: the insurer's medical team decides on measures under the policy. A medical flight booked without approval may not be reimbursed.
Even if everything went well on the ground. Send your invoices and the medical report within 30 days; after that, compensation may be reduced or refused.

All eligible travelers should be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccines. Please see Your COVID-19 Vaccination for more information.
Recommended for unvaccinated travelers one year old or older going to Morocco. Infants 6 to 11 months old should also be vaccinated against Hepatitis A. The dose does not count toward the routine 2-dose series. Travelers allergic to a vaccine component should receive a single dose of immune globulin, which provides effective protection for up to 2 months depending on dosage given.
Recommended for unvaccinated travelers younger than 60 years old traveling to Morocco. Unvaccinated travelers 60 years and older may get vaccinated before traveling to Morocco.
Cases of measles are on the rise worldwide. Travelers are at risk of measles if they have not been fully vaccinated at least two weeks prior to departure, or have not had measles in the past, and travel internationally to areas where measles is spreading.
Monkeypox vaccination is recommended for any adult who anticipates any of the following activities during travel: Sexual or intimate contact with a new partner Sexual or intimate contact at a commercial sex venue, like a sex club or bathhouse Sexual or intimate contact in exchange for money, goods, drugs, or other trade Sexual or intimate contact in association with a large public event, such as a rave, party, or…
Dogs infected with rabies are commonly found in Morocco. If rabies exposures occur while in Morocco, rabies vaccines are typically available throughout most of the country.
Recommended for most travelers. Typhoid vaccine is not 100% effective. Practicing safe food and water habits , including washing hands at key times , can also help prevent typhoid fever .
CDC recommendations: Vaccine is not recommended. Country entry requirements: Vaccine is not required. Updated April 23, 2025

FDFA (Switzerland) — medical care, in French
En dehors des grandes villes, les soins médicaux sont limités. Il peut s'avérer utile de se munir de matériel de pansement et de seringues à usage unique. Les hôpitaux exigent une garantie financière ou un paiement d’avance avant de commencer un traitement. Si vous prenez régulièrement des médicaments , emportez-en une quantité suffisante avec vous. Notez toutefois que de nombreux pays appliquent des réglementations restrictives. Cela vaut en particulier, mais pas exclusivement, pour les médicaments contenant des stupéfiants (par exemple la méthadone) et les substances utilisées pour le traitement des troubles psychiques. Avant votre départ, renseignez-vous directement auprès de la représentation étrangère compétente (ambassade ou consulat) et consultez la rubrique Liens voyages , où vous trouverez de plus amples informations sur ce sujet ainsi que sur la médecine du voyage en général. Les informations concernant la propagation de maladies et les éventuelles mesures de protection à prendre sont fournies par le personnel médical et les centres de vaccination. Liens voyages

Consulter si besoin son médecin traitant ou un centre de vaccinations internationales (médecine des voyages) pour faire une évaluation de son état de santé et bénéficier de recommandations sanitaires, notamment sur les vaccinations. Consulter éventuellement son dentiste avant le départ.
Constituer sa pharmacie personnelle en conséquence et n’emporter dans ses bagages que les médicaments strictement nécessaires ; ne jamais consommer de médicaments achetés dans la rue (risque de contrefaçons). Les médicaments doivent être dans leur emballage d’origine avec les étiquettes originales, accompagnés d’une ordonnance portant le nom des médicaments en dénomination commune internationale (DCI). Il est indispensable de vérifier que les médicaments concernés sont autorisés dans le pays visité : pour plus d’informations, consulter la fiche Informations pratiques .
En cas d’urgence ou de besoin spécifique, les six consulats généraux de France au Maroc mettent à disposition, sur leur site Internet, une liste de notoriété médicale. Ce document, actualisé chaque année, mentionne, pour chaque circonscription consulaire, les établissements médicaux de référence ainsi que des médecins francophones pour les principales spécialités médicales.
Les vaccins recommandés en France sont également indispensables lors d’un séjour à l’étranger : les maladies qu’ils préviennent circulent partout dans le monde, parfois même plus fréquemment qu’en France. Avant tout départ, le voyageur (adulte et enfant) doit donc d’abord s’assurer d’être à jour du calendrier vaccinal français, en particulier des vaccins contre la diphtérie, le tétanos, la poliomyélite, la coqueluche mais aussi contre la rougeole. Le carnet de vaccination peut être demandé à l’arrivée de certains pays.
Des vaccinations complémentaires peuvent être nécessaires :
Il est donc conseillé de consulter son médecin traitant ou un centre de vaccinations internationales (médecine des voyages) suffisamment de temps avant le voyage.
La fièvre typhoïde est une maladie infectieuse causée par des bactéries présentes dans l’eau contaminée par des matières fécales d’origine humaine. L’infection résulte le plus souvent de l’ingestion d’eau ou d’aliments contaminés, ou d’une transmission directe de personne à personne. Les symptômes surviennent en moyenne 3 semaines après la contamination et associent fièvre, maux de tête, perte d’appétit, douleurs abdominales avec diarrhée ou constipation, fatigue et parfois, éruption cutanée. Dans les formes plus graves, la fièvre typhoïde peut être fatale en l’absence de traitement.
Les mesures de prévention reposent sur les règles élémentaires d’hygiène générale vis-à-vis de l’eau, des aliments et du lavage des mains ainsi que sur la vaccination.
Pour plus d’informations , consulter le site de l'Institut Pasteur .
La leishmaniose est une maladie parasitaire transmise par la piqûre d’insectes infectés appelés phlébotomes et qui sont surtout actifs la nuit. La transmission entre êtres humains est exceptionnelle. La maladie se présente sous trois formes principales : cutanée (lésions de la peau), muco-cutanée (détruit les muqueuses du nez et de la bouche) et viscérale (atteinte grave des organes internes, souvent mortelle sans traitement).
Il n’existe aucun vaccin ni traitement préventif. La prévention repose sur la protection contre les piqûres, notamment par l’utilisation de moustiquaires et de répulsifs.
Pour plus d’informations, consulter le site de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé et le site de l'Institut Pasteur .

Before you travel check that:
This is particularly important if you have a health condition or are pregnant.
Dial 150 and ask for an ambulance.
Contact your insurance or medical assistance company quickly if you’re referred to a medical facility for treatment.

See what health risks you’ll face in Morocco .
Altitude sickness is a risk in parts of Morocco. Read more about altitude sickness on TravelHealthPro .
Henna tattoos can cause a painful allergic reaction including swelling and an itchy rash in some people.
Rabies and other animal-borne diseases are present in Morocco. Stray animals are common in many towns and cities. Packs of dogs often gather in parks, on wasteland, and in quieter areas, and can behave aggressively. Do not approach or feed stray animals. If you are bitten or scratched, seek medical advice immediately.
If you have prescription medication issued in the UK, ensure you bring an adequate supply for the duration of your trip and plan carefully to avoid running out. On some occasions, travellers have struggled to source medication.
If you require medication in Morocco, contact the nearest pharmacy. If they do not have your medication, they will ask you to get another prescription from a Moroccan doctor for an alternative medication. Pharmacies are open 24 hours in every city and district.
The legal status and regulation of some medicines prescribed or bought in the UK can be different in other countries.
Read best practice when travelling with medicines on TravelHealthPro .
Travellers to Morocco should follow good food and water hygiene to reduce the risk of stomach bugs. Travellers who fall ill are advised to seek medical help if symptoms, such as vomiting and diarrhoea, do not improve after a few days.
Travellers with allergies should take extra care when dining in Morocco. Allergen information is not consistently provided, and cross-contamination risks may be higher than in the UK. Make your allergies clear and avoid foods you are unsure about.
Public health facilities in Morocco provide limited medical care. Private clinics are available and operate to a higher standard. Make sure you have adequate travel health insurance and accessible funds to cover the cost of any medical treatment abroad and repatriation.

Tout déplacement le long de la frontière avec la Mauritanie est formellement déconseillé. Le seul point d’accès à la Mauritanie est la route côtière qui mène à Nouadhibou.
Le Maroc demeure un pays sûr et sous contrôle des autorités, mais qui reste exposé à la menace terroriste.
Le Maroc est situé dans une zone d’activité sismique.
Le 8 septembre 2023, un tremblement de terre de magnitude 6,8 sur l’échelle de Richter a frappé la région du Haut Atlas, à 70 kilomètres au sud-ouest de Marrakech, à la frontière entre les provinces de Chichaoua et Al-Haouz
Il est donc nécessaire de connaître la conduite à tenir en cas de séisme , notamment pour les déplacements dans la région de Marrakech et d’Agadir.
En raison de la subsistance de certaines zones encore minées au sud-est de la province de Guelmim, dans la région limitrophe avec le Sahara occidental, il est recommandé aux voyageurs à moto ou en véhicule 4x4 souhaitant emprunter des pistes non goudronnées de cette région de se signaler auprès de la gendarmerie ou d’une autorité locale telle que le caïd.

FDFA update note — Ces conseils pour les voyages ont été contrôlés et publiés avec des changements rédactionnels. (published 13.08.2026)
Les voyages au Maroc sont en principe considérés comme sûrs. Des grèves et manifestations , surtout dans les grandes villes, sont possibles à tout moment. Lors de celles-ci, des affrontements violents ne peuvent pas être exclus. Les barrages routiers peuvent se produire dans les régions concernées. Malgré le renforcement des mesures de sécurité, le risque d’actes terroristes persiste dans tout le pays . Les forces de sécurité marocaines rapportent régulièrement avoir démantelé des cellules terroristes. Dans certaines parties du Sahara et du Sahel le risque d’enlèvements est réel. Prenez en considérations les informations suivantes: Risque d’enlèvement dans le Sahara et le Sahel Terrorisme et enlèvements Suivez l’évolution de la situation au travers des médias avant le départ et pendant le voyage. Évitez les rassemblements de foule et les manifestations de tout genre. Ne vous rendez pas dans les quartiers défavorisés des grandes villes. Respectez les consignes des autorités locales et des tour-opérateurs.
La description des zones à risques repose sur des données approximatives; les risques ne peuvent se restreindre à des zones délimitées. Montagnes du Rif Des tensions et des manifestations ne sont pas à exclure. Des exactions peuvent être commises par des personnes criminelles impliquées dans la production et le trafic local de drogue. Faites preuve d’une prudence accrue et renoncez à circuler la nuit. Zone frontalière avec l'Algérie Le risque d’enlèvement ne peut être exclu. La frontière avec l'Algérie est fermée. Lors de voyages dans les zones frontalières avec l’Algérie, faites-vous accompagner de guides connaissant bien la région et assurez-vous que la situation actuelle en matière de sécurité ait été vérifiée. Les activités nautiques sont déconseillées dans cette région. Faites preuve d’une prudence accrue et conformez-vous aux consignes des autorités locales. Sahara Des bandes armées et des groupes terroristes, qui vivent de contrebande et d'enlèvements, sévissent dans une grande partie du Sahara. Ils sont bien organisés, opèrent sans tenir compte des frontières, et ont des contacts avec des groupes criminels locaux. Le risque d’enlèvement est élevé dans certaines régions et a encore tendance à augmenter au Sahara et au Sahel. Risque d’enlèvement dans le Sahara et le Sahel Sahara occidental Il est déconseillé de se rendre dans le Sahara occidental pour des voyages touristiques ou autres qui ne présentent pas un caractère d'urgence. Selon les circonstances, en cas d’urgence il est très difficile pour la Suisse, voire impossible, de porter assistance ou de l’aide à quitter la région. Ce territoire contesté, situé au sud de la ville marocaine de Tarfaya et qui s'étend jusqu'à la frontière mauritanienne, a été administré par l'Espagne jusqu'en 1976. Depuis, il est revendiqué à la fois par le Maroc et l’organisation du Front Polisario. La Mission des Nations Unies MINURSO surveille le cessez-le-feu entre les deux parties. Les deux côtés de la ligne de démarcation (digue de sable) comportent divers champs de mines. Le risque d'enlèvement ne peut pas être exclu. La situation dans le Sahara occidental est tendue. À El Guerguerat, à la frontière avec la Mauritanie , et au long de la ligne de démarcation, des escarmouches ont lieu entre les troupes marocaines et des unités du Front Polisario, causant parfois des victimes civiles. Il faut s’attendre à d’autres événements de ce genre. Si vous devez vous rendre au Sahara occidental pour des motifs impérieux: conformez-vous aux consignes des autorités locales. Empruntez exclusivement les routes les plus…
La petite délinquance est également présente dans les centres touristiques. Des vols à l'arraché et des vols à l'astuce sont souvent commis par des jeunes enfants et des adolescents. Des cas isolés de viols de femmes étrangères et d’attaques à main armée ont déjà été rapportés. Observez entre autres les précautions suivantes dans tout le pays:
Les conditions géologiques et climatiques du pays sont en partie extrêmes et les conditions météorologiques peuvent rapidement changer. Lors de fortes pluies, les ruisseaux de montagne, de même que les lits des rivières asséchées dans le désert se transforment très rapidement en véritables fleuves. Le Maroc se trouve dans une zone sismique. Aide-mémoire séismes Dans le bassin méditerranéen, il n’est pas exclu qu’un séisme ou une éruption volcanique provoque un tsunami qui atteigne toutes les zones côtières de la Méditerranée. Il existe un important risque d’incendie de forêt . Si une catastrophe naturelle devait se produire durant votre séjour, prenez immédiatement contact avec vos proches et suivez les instructions des autorités locales. En cas d’interruption des communications avec l’étranger, vous pouvez vous mettre en liaison avec l’Ambassade de Suisse à Rabat.

There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.
UK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out how to reduce your risk from terrorism while abroad .
Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Morocco.
Terrorism attacks could be indiscriminate, including in places visited by foreign nationals, such as:
Stay aware of your surroundings, keep up to date with local media reports and follow advice of local authorities.
There is an increased threat linked to the number of Moroccans sympathetic or belonging to Daesh (formerly ISIL) and other extremist groups. Authorities regularly disrupt terrorist cells.
In some places, including hotels and tourists sites, there may be protective security measures, including security guards.
Protests and demonstrations could occur across the country, particularly in large cities, often without warning. These events are typically monitored closely by law enforcement. While authorised protests are generally peaceful, unauthorised ones have sometimes led to clashes between protesters and police. Such gatherings can cause travel disruption in the affected areas. Avoid political gatherings and demonstrations and follow local news and directions from security officials.
There can be occasional violent crime in Morocco. Criminals have used knives against tourists in street attacks, thefts and burglaries in major cities and along beaches. To reduce your risk:
Petty crime is common in tourist areas, especially in historical districts (medina quarters) and on beaches. Crimes include:
Be cautious when asking for directions and using ATMs – aggressive begging is common.
Credit card fraud and scams are common. Beware of scammers substituting inferior goods for the ones you bought. Remain alert to potential confidence tricks.
It is common for people posing as official tourist guides to harass tourists.
If you use a guide in a historical district (medina quarter), make sure they have an official badge and permission from the local authority.
Be cautious if you travel to Morocco for a relationship or to find someone you met on the internet. Incidents of marriage fraud and attempted extortion have affected British nationals. Make sure you keep your return ticket, passport and personal belongings safe.
There have been deaths and cases of serious illness caused by alcoholic drinks containing methanol in Morocco.
Even small amounts of methanol can kill. It is not possible to identify methanol in alcoholic drinks by taste or smell. See Travel Aware Drink Spiking and methanol poisoning for information about how to reduce the risks.
Seek urgent medical attention if you or someone you are travelling with show the signs of methanol poisoning after drinking.

Foreign Office — laws and cultural differences
Morocco’s laws and customs are very different to those in the UK and reflect the fact that Morocco is an Islamic country. Always respect local traditions, customs, laws and religions. Make sure your actions do not offend, especially during the holy month of Ramadan or if you plan to visit religious areas.
Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims. The dates vary by year and country, next starting in February 2027. During this time, eating or drinking, swearing, smoking or chewing gum in public in the daytime may cause offence. Get more advice when you arrive from your tour guide, hotel or business contacts, where applicable. You should also:
It is illegal to attempt to convert a Muslim to another faith and to distribute evangelical literature (such as Arabic-language bibles). Attempting to convert a Muslim to another faith can result in fines or up to 3 years’ imprisonment. Public criticism of Islam, including in speeches, print or online media, can result in heavy fines and up 2 years’ imprisonment.
Sexual activity between unmarried people and adultery are illegal for Moroccan nationals – this includes sharing a hotel room, particularly with foreign nationals. The law regarding unmarried people sharing a hotel room does not generally apply to visiting foreign nationals, particularly in popular tourist areas. Avoid showing affection in public, particularly near religious sites as well as in tourist areas. Using dating applications in Morocco may break laws relating to sexual relations outside of marriage. Be aware of the legal and personal safety risks when using these applications.
Same-sex sexual relations are illegal in Morocco. Showing affection in public can lead to prosecution. Meeting people through online applications, can carry legal, personal safety and privacy risks. See more advice for LGBT+ travellers.
Alcohol is available in licensed venues. However, drinking alcohol in the street and anywhere other than a licensed restaurant or bar is illegal and can lead to arrest. Travellers should respect local laws and customs at all times.
Morocco has a zero-tolerance approach towards drugs. Possessing, using or trafficking illegal drugs, including cannabis, are serious offences and carry severe penalties. You should expect a long jail sentence and heavy fines for these actions, including when transiting through the country. Airports in Morocco are equipped with technology and security for detecting items prohibited by customs controls, including for the baggage or transiting passengers. Do not accept items from strangers or leave your bags attended.
Women may receive unwanted attention in Morocco, especially when travelling alone. Consider wearing loose-fitting clothing which cover the arms, legs and chest. See advice for woman travellers abroad.
It is illegal to take photographs near sensitive political or military sites. Always ask permission before taking pictures of people, especially children.
It is illegal to possess pornographic material. This includes printed and digital material, and any type of material contrary to Moroccan laws related to morality and public order.
If you plan to bring a drone to Morocco, you must get permission from the Directorate General for Civil Aviation (in French) to fly a drone. If you do not, you risk fines and confiscation of your equipment.

Entre autres, sont punissables:
Les infractions à la loi sur les stupéfiants sont sévèrement punies, quelles que soient les quantités et le type de drogue. Les conditions de détention sont précaires: cellules surpeuplées, hygiène et assistance médicale laissant à désirer, etc.
Adaptez votre comportement et votre tenue vestimentaire aux us et coutumes locaux, qui peuvent être très différents selon la région et le lieu. Ne photographiez les personnes qu’avec leur accord. Renseignez-vous dans les guides de voyage, auprès de votre agence de voyage ou directement sur place, sur les codes de conduite et les conventions à respecter. Des prescriptions particulières sont à observer durant la période du Ramadan et dans les endroits religieux. En cas de mariage entre une personne de nationalité étrangère et une personne de nationalité marocaine de confession musulmane, une attention toute particulière doit être prêtée au respect des us et coutumes islamiques et aux lois marocaines.

Reading: With 0.7 physicians per 1,000 people (84% fewer than Switzerland), the nearest hospital does not always have the capacity for a serious case: evacuation to an adequate centre is the rule, not the exception — that is what unlimited evacuation and repatriation cover. Health spending of 232 USD per person (Switzerland: 11,784) goes with private hospitals that bill foreigners in hard currency and ask for a guarantee before admission: the direct payment guarantee is what avoids the deposit.

Les Français en difficulté sont invités à contacter le consulat général de France le plus près de leur lieu de séjour (les numéros de téléphone figurent dans l’encadré à droite de cette page). Il leur est également recommandé de contacter leur compagnie d’assurance ou d’assistance afin de vérifier la validité au Maroc, et le cas échéant, l’étendue de la couverture médicale souscrite, notamment en matière d’hospitalisation et de rapatriement.
Pour un séjour au Maroc, il convient de disposer d’un passeport en cours de validité couvrant la totalité du séjour programmé.
La délivrance d’un laissez-passer de retour en France ne sera pas possible pour les personnes étant entrées au Maroc sans passeport français valable pour toute la durée du séjour.
Aucun laissez-passer ne pourra être délivré par un Consulat général de France au Maroc à un citoyen français :
Dans les deux cas, il convient de demander le renouvellement ou la délivrance d’un nouveau passeport biométrique dans un Consulat général de France au Maroc. Cette démarche prend environ 4 semaines à partir de la date de rendez-vous et sous réserve de la présentation de tous les justificatifs requis à cet effet. Les rendez-vous sont à prendre en ligne sur le site du Consulat général de France de la zone de résidence.
Le passeport est obligatoire, y compris pour les groupes en voyage touristique organisé.
L’admission sur le territoire marocain n’est plus possible sur la présentation de la seule carte nationale d’identité.
Il convient de vérifier, à l’arrivée, que le passeport a été visé par les autorités de police des frontières (mention d’un numéro lors d’une première visite et cachet d’entrée, sous peine de se trouver, à son insu, en séjour illégal).
Les personnes qui ne sont ni résidentes au Maroc ni de nationalité marocaine, qu’elles soient soumises aux formalités de visa ou pas, doivent être munies, à leur arrivée au Maroc, de leur billet de retour et des justificatifs de moyens de subsistance suffisants durant leur séjour dans le…
Les entrées et les sorties des véhicules sont enregistrées par les services douaniers. À la sortie du territoire, il convient de s’assurer de la bonne saisie du départ du véhicule, son propriétaire risquant par la suite d’être accusé de l’avoir vendu frauduleusement. Tout véhicule entré au titre d’un séjour touristique peut bénéficier d’une autorisation temporaire d’importation valable 3 mois (et renouvelable une fois). Aucun propriétaire ou conducteur de véhicule, sur le passeport duquel aura été portée mention de cette autorisation temporaire, ne pourra quitter le territoire marocain sans son véhicule (même en cas de vol ou d’accident) si la situation de ce dernier n’a pas été régularisée au préalable par l’acquittement des droits de douane. Ceux-ci, selon la catégorie, s’échelonnent entre 17,5 % et 50 % de la valeur du véhicule neuf. Il est recommandé de vérifier la prise en charge de ces taxes auprès des compagnies d’assurance.
Le transit douanier vers la Mauritanie est soumis à des autorisations délivrées par les autorités marocaines. Il est donc indispensable de faire les démarches administratives nécessaires auprès du consulat marocain compétent en France, plusieurs mois à l’avance. Ces démarches peuvent être directement entreprises avec la Direction générale de l’Administration des douanes à Rabat :
Avenue Hassan II - Rabat Tél. : +212 37 269000 Télécopie : +212 37 730863 / +212 37 730985 / +212 37 730986 / +212 37 26 92 36 Site Internet
Il est totalement interdit de faire entrer un drone sur le territoire marocain (sauf autorisation préalable pour des besoins professionnels spécifiques). La découverte d’un drone dans les bagages expose son propriétaire à une amende et à la confiscation de l’appareil par les douanes. L’usage d’un drone au Maroc sans…
Les convois organisés par des ONG à but humanitaire qui traversent le Maroc pour se rendre en Mauritanie et en Afrique subsaharienne doivent présenter une garantie bancaire aux postes de douanes de Tanger ou Melilla. L’ambassade de France et les consulats généraux ne sont pas habilités à délivrer ces garanties bancaires.

Entry requirements — rules for a British passportForeign Office ↗updated 19.08.2026 · read 23.10.2026
This information is for people travelling on a full ‘British citizen’ passport from the UK. It is based on the UK government’s understanding of Morocco’s current rules for the most common types of travel.
The authorities in Morocco set and enforce entry rules. If you’re not sure how these requirements apply to you, contact the Moroccan Consulate General in the UK .
To enter Morocco, your passport must have an ‘expiry date’ at least 3 months after the date you arrive.
Make sure your passport is not damaged . The Moroccan authorities have denied entry to some travellers with damaged passports. Check with your travel provider that your passport and other travel documents meet requirements. Renew your passport if you need to.
You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
If your passport is lost or stolen, you will need to apply for an emergency travel document from the British embassy. You will also need to show a police report to be able to leave the country. The police will issue a written report, this can be a “déclaration de perte” for a lost passport or a “déclaration de vol” for a stolen passport. Stolen or lost passports must be reported in the city where the theft or loss occurred.
Border officials should stamp your passport when you enter Morocco. Some travellers have had difficulties leaving Morocco because their passport did not have an entry stamp.
It is illegal to send passports by post to or through Morocco. The authorities will confiscate British passports sent to or through Morocco by post or courier.
Carrying another person’s passport may attract scrutiny from Police, Immigration, Customs, or Border Officials. Travellers are strongly advised not to carry a passport belonging to an individual who is not accompanying them unless there is a clear and legitimate reason for doing so.
When returning to the UK, British citizens must carry a valid British passport or certificate of entitlement . See Dual citizenship .
You can visit Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days for tourism.
To stay longer than 90 days, you must request an extension at a Moroccan police station.
If you’re going to Morocco for reasons other than tourism, check visa requirements with the Moroccan Consulate General in the UK .
If you arrive by private boat, you must enter at a recognised port of entry . It is illegal to enter through other ports.
To enter Morocco, you must have a certificate to prove you’ve had a polio vaccine if you’re coming from a polio-affected country.
For full details about medical entry requirements and recommended vaccinations, see TravelHealthPro’s Morocco guide .
There are strict rules about goods you can take into or out of Morocco . You must declare anything that may be prohibited or subject to tax or duty.

For each risk, the official texts themselves: what is happening, then, where they say so, what to do.
What the texts say · Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Morocco. There can be occasional violent crime in Morocco. Criminals have used knives against tourists in street attacks, thefts and burglaries in major cities and along beaches.
What the texts say · Road accidents are a frequent occurrence in Morocco. Be more alert to other vehicles, pedestrians and animals as poor lighting can make it dangerous to drive at night.
What the texts say · Earthquakes are a risk in Morocco. Heavy rain can cause flash flooding in some areas, particularly in the mountains or near rivers during winter months.
What the texts say · Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict, and judgment is expeditious. Drones and surveillance equipment are prohibited and will be confiscated by the authorities upon entry.
What the texts say · Credit and debit card fraud, as well as thefts from ATMs occur frequently.
What the texts say · Protests and demonstrations could occur across the country, particularly in large cities, often without warning. Even peaceful demonstrations can turn violent at any time. They can also lead to disruptions to traffic and public transportation.

FDFA (Switzerland) — transport and specific advice, in French
En général les routes nationales sont en bon état. La densité du trafic, la conduite indisciplinée de nombreuses personnes, le mauvais état des véhicules ainsi que les animaux errants rendent cependant la circulation dangereuse. Si vous souhaitez emprunter les moyens de transport locaux, vérifiez que le véhicule soit en état de circuler (par exemple les autocars interurbains et les voitures de location). Faites preuve d’une attention accrue et évitez de circuler de nuit à l'extérieur des villes. Pour voyager dans le désert hors des routes asphaltées, il est recommandé de circuler uniquement en convoi de plusieurs véhicules tout terrain. Pour les tours en tout genre passant par des régions reculées, faites-vous accompagner de guides de confiance connaissant bien le terrain. Il est vital de se munir d’un instrument de navigation et d'une provision suffisante d'eau, de nourriture et de carburant, ainsi que de pièces de rechange. Personnes qui entrent dans le pays avec un véhicule: Lors de leur entrée au Maroc, les véhicules font l'objet d'une procédure informatisée. Une annotation sera portée dans le passeport. De ce fait, le véhicule devra impérativement être soit réexporté soit dédouané par la même personne. Cette règle s’applique également, si le véhicule doit être détruit, suite à un dégât irréparable. Renseignez-vous le cas échéant sur les dispositions exactes auprès de l’Ambassade du Maroc à Berne avant de partir, ou consultez à ce sujet le site Internet de la Douane marocaine . Il arrive que les points de passage des frontières soient temporairement fermés à court terme, par exemple afin d’endiguer la propagation de maladies. Cela concerne en particulier les passages de frontières à Ceuta et Melilla. Informez-vous auprès des autorités locales ou directement auprès des postes-frontières.
Restez toujours à distance des animaux errants. Plusieurs cas de décès dus à la rage après des morsures de chien ont été signalés. Informez-vous à l’avance sur les vaccins nécessaires. En cas de morsure ou de griffure par un animal, consultez immédiatement un médecin. Il est conseillé de tenir également compte des recommandations générales pour tous les voyages , en particulier les recommandations avant le départ et les liens voyages .
