Morocco travel advice
Still current at: 3 Jul 2026
Ensure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your arrival date and is not damaged, as entry may be denied for damaged passports. British citizens can visit Morocco for up to 90 days without a visa for tourism; for longer stays or non-tourism purposes, check specific requirements with the Moroccan Consulate General. Always ensure your passport is stamped upon arrival to avoid issues when departing. Be aware of a high threat of terrorist attacks, and while authorities regularly disrupt cells, attacks can be indiscriminate, so remain aware of your surroundings. Also, be mindful of occasional violent crime and common petty theft, especially in tourist areas and after dark.

Medical care in Morocco
Cover for medical treatment costs is a vital part of travel insurance. Morocco is not covered by the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC ), so any services will require payment from your own pocket or via your travel insurance.
The UK government advises that the standards of public health facilities in Morocco can vary, particularly between urban and rural areas.
In general, these facilities struggle to provide adequate medical care, so you will need travel insurance suitable for covering the costs of private clinics.
Can I get travel insurance for Morocco if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
Yes, you can get travel insurance cover with a pre-existing medical condition, but it may be more expensive than a standard policy.
A pre-existing condition is any medical issue for which you had symptoms, medication, medical advice, treatment, or tests before you took out your insurance policy. It includes mental health conditions and disabilities .
You must disclose all pre-existing medical conditions. If you don't, your insurer can refuse to pay out for a claim.
You can buy medical travel insurance through MoneySuperMarket.
Do I need vaccinations to visit Morocco?
The NHS Fit for Travel website recommends that your regular vaccinations are up to date before you travel to Morocco, including your flu and Covid-19 vaccines if you are eligible for these.
It’s also advised that travellers to Morocco get hepatitis A and tetanus vaccines before travelling. You may wish to consider rabies and typhoid vaccines, and individuals at highest risk should also consider the hepatitis B vaccine.
🚩 Vaccination recommendations may be different for individuals with specific health conditions. We recommend speaking to your doctor before travelling.
Do I need a visa to visit Morocco?
You can visit Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days for tourism.
It’s worth noting that to enter Morocco your passport must have an expiry date at least three months after the date you arrive.
🚩 Visa requirements for a country can change. For the most up-to-date information, check the UK government’s foreign travel advice website.
What travel insurance do I need for trekking in Morocco?
You may need cover to go trekking in Morocco, depending on the specific trek.
Trekking in the Atlas Mountains is popular amongst visitors to Morocco. If you’re planning on trekking, you may need to have adventure sports cover.
Standard travel insurance policies often will not cover hiking above a certain height or in riskier locations. If your hiking trip involves mountaineering or using climbing equipment you'll almost certainty need extra cover.
You may be able to add adventure sports cover to your existing travel insurance for a fee. Travel insurers will also often bundle together adventure sports cover and winter sports cover .
What travel insurance do I need to protect my belongings in Morocco?
Most types of travel insurance will include some level of protection for your belongings and baggage . However, it is important to check what is and what isn’t covered.
The UK government warns that pickpocketing and bag-snatching is common in some of Morocco’s most popular tourist destinations, particular in medina quarters.
You should therefore make sure that your insurance has adequate coverage for your personal belongings. You can also consider add-ons such as gadget insurance and passport cover , which are not always included as standard.
