Do French citizens need a visa for Morocco?

No visa is required for French citizens visiting Morocco for tourism — you can stay up to 90 days on your passport alone. This is one of the reasons France is Morocco's number-one source market: there is genuinely no paperwork hurdle. You don't apply for anything in advance, there is no e-visa, and there is no fee on arrival. I tell French guests to think of it like flying to another part of the Mediterranean — you simply show up with a valid passport.

The one requirement worth checking is passport validity. Morocco asks that your passport be valid for the duration of your stay; in practice I always recommend at least three to six months of validity beyond your travel dates, because airlines and border officers occasionally apply the stricter standard and you don't want a surprise at check-in. If your French passport is close to expiry, renew it before you travel.

On the flight (or at the land/sea border if you come via Spain), you'll be handed a short arrival card asking for your name, passport details, and where you're staying. Fill in your first night's riad or hotel — if you've booked through us, we send you exactly what to write. The officer stamps you in, and that stamp is your permission to stay; keep an eye on the date so you don't accidentally overstay the 90 days.

If you ever wanted to stay longer than 90 days you'd need to apply for an extension at a local police prefecture, but for the vast majority of holidays this never comes up. For a normal one- or two-week trip, the honest answer is: bring your passport, nothing else.
