Practical Information

Travel Logistics for New Zealander Visitors

Visa Requirements

New Zealand citizens do not need a visa for Morocco for stays up to 90 days. A passport valid for at least 6 months is required.

Best Time to Visit

For New Zealanders, March-May and September-November are ideal. Morocco's shoulder seasons coincide with comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds, and combine well with a European stopover.

Jet Lag Tips

  • With an 11-12 hour shift, plan a recovery day on arrival.
  • A stopover in the Gulf (Dubai or Doha) breaks the long journey and resets your body clock.
  • Embrace Moroccan time gradually — light first day, early desert nights.

Travel Insurance

Comprehensive travel insurance including medical evacuation is strongly recommended given the long journey and distance from home.

What to Pack

  • Layers for the wide day-to-night temperature range.
  • A universal adapter (Type C/E).
  • High-SPF sunscreen and a hat.
  • A refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes.

Phone & Connectivity

NZ carrier roaming is expensive in Morocco. A local SIM at the airport (around NZ$8-15) gives data and calls; Wi-Fi is widely available.

Travel With Confidence

Safety for New Zealander Travelers

Morocco is safe and welcoming for Kiwi travelers. A private guide makes navigating markets and remote regions effortless.
