Moroccan passport holders do not need a visa for Turkey. Entry is visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180-day period — that rolling window is the part travellers miss. Here is how it works.
Turkey sits within a single direct flight of Casablanca, which makes it an easy first trip for Moroccan travellers — Istanbul, Cappadocia, the Aegean coast and Pamukkale are all comfortably reachable. Before booking, the question is always the same: do Moroccans need a visa for Turkey, and is an e-Visa required? The short answer is no. Moroccan ordinary passport holders are visa-exempt for short tourist stays, so you can book your flight and go.
This guide explains, in plain language, how long Moroccans can stay in Turkey without a visa, what the 90-day rule actually means, what it costs, what you still need at the border and what happens when you land. It is written for ordinary (tourist) passport holders travelling for tourism or short business.
Because visa-exemption lists, stay limits and fees are set by the Turkish government and can change, treat everything below as guidance and confirm the current requirements on the official portal before you book or travel.
⚠ Visa rules can change — always confirm current requirements on the official Republic of Türkiye e-Visa site (evisa.gov.tr) before travel. Fees and conditions below are approximate guidance, not a guarantee.
No. Moroccan ordinary passport holders can enter Turkey visa-free for tourism and short business trips. There is nothing to apply for, no consulate appointment and no fee for the visa itself — you present your passport at immigration and, once cleared, your stay is stamped in. The exemption covers ordinary (tourist) passports; other passport types, and longer or non-tourist stays, follow different rules.
The exemption allows a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. That is a rolling window, not a per-trip allowance: officers count every day you have spent in Turkey across the previous 180 days, so two long trips close together will not both fit. Leaving the country and coming straight back does not reset the clock. If you are planning a longer stay, or want to study, work or live in Turkey, the exemption does not cover it and you would generally need the appropriate visa or residence permit — check your own situation on the official portal.
Not for an ordinary tourist trip. Because Moroccan passports are visa-exempt for short stays, there is nothing to buy and nothing to submit — the portal at evisa.gov.tr is where you confirm your exemption, not where you purchase a document. Use it to check your own passport type and travel purpose against the current rules before you fly. Avoid third-party "visa" websites that charge inflated service fees to sell Moroccans a document they do not need — the government site is the only official source.
There is no visa fee for Moroccan citizens, because there is no visa — the exemption is free. Any site quoting you a price for a Turkish tourist visa on a Moroccan passport is charging for a service you do not need. The permitted 90 days in 180 run from the day you enter, and the entry stamp in your passport is what governs them, so read the date you are given at the border. Exemption policy is set by the Turkish government and can change — confirm it on the official site before you travel.
There is nothing to process. With no visa or e-Visa to apply for, a Moroccan traveller can book a flight and go — the only queue is passport control on arrival. That is the practical advantage of the exemption: no lead time, no approval to wait on, no application that might not come back before departure. Do still leave time for the things that are not automatic, such as renewing a passport that is running short.
There is no visa paperwork, but the border is still a border. For a visa-free entry you will generally want: your Moroccan passport, valid comfortably beyond your trip — minimum-validity requirements apply, and the current figure is shown on the official portal; a return or onward ticket; proof of accommodation; and evidence of sufficient funds. Officers may ask to see any of these, so keep your hotel booking and itinerary handy.
On arrival in Turkey, join the queue for foreign passports and present your Moroccan passport — no visa, no printout, no portal reference. Officers may ask about your hotel, length of stay and return flight. With your documents in order, clearance is usually quick. Check the entry stamp before you walk away: the date on it is what your 90 days are counted from.
The only official place to apply is the Republic of Türkiye e-Visa portal. Avoid third-party sites that charge inflated fees.
Go to evisa.gov.tr →No. Moroccan ordinary passport holders are visa-exempt and can enter Turkey without a visa for tourism or short business. The exemption covers stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. There is no e-Visa to buy and no fee to pay. Exemptions are set by the Turkish government and can change, so confirm the current position on evisa.gov.tr before you travel.
Up to 90 days within any 180-day period. It is a rolling window, so immigration looks back over the previous 180 days and counts every day you were already in Turkey. Exiting and re-entering does not reset it. For anything longer you would generally need the appropriate visa or residence permit — check evisa.gov.tr.
No. The e-Visa exists for nationalities that require a visa; Moroccans do not. If a website offers to sell you a Turkey e-Visa on a Moroccan passport, treat it as a red flag. The official portal, evisa.gov.tr, will confirm your exemption for free.
Nothing. Visa-exempt entry carries no visa fee, so any figure you are quoted is a third-party service charge for a document you do not need. Confirm your exemption on evisa.gov.tr rather than paying anyone.
Not on the visa exemption. Beyond 90 days in 180 you would generally need an appropriate visa or a residence permit, applied for separately. Overstaying can carry penalties, so check your options on evisa.gov.tr first.
A Moroccan passport with sufficient remaining validity, and usually a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and sufficient funds. No visa document is required. Minimum passport-validity requirements are set by the Turkish government and shown on evisa.gov.tr.
Only evisa.gov.tr, the Republic of Türkiye government portal, is official. Many third-party sites look similar and charge inflated fees — including to travellers who need no visa at all.
