Do Australians need a visa for Morocco?
We quote the official text word for word and do not summarise it. The first official sentence does not match a wording we summarise.
Official text, “Visas and border measures”:
Each country or territory decides its own entry and exit rules, including health border screening measures. To find out what you need to enter a destination, ask their embassy, consulate or immigration office.
Visa-free travel for short stays
Australians generally don't need a visa to visit Morocco for less than 90 days. In other situations, you'll need a visa.
Entry and exit conditions can change at short notice. You should contact your nearest Embassy of Morocco for the latest details.
Moroccan embassies or tourist and travel offices can inform you about visas, currency, customs and other travel requirements.
Visa overstays
Do not overstay your visa.
If you overstay your visa, you may not be able to leave Morocco until you regularise your immigration status. You could be subject to a fine, a deportation order or a ban from re-entering.
If you have overstayed your visa, or are unable to leave due to border closures, contact your nearest police station. Once you have regularised your visa status, make sure you obtain a written exit permit from the police station to present at your point of departure.
Without a written permit, you may not be able to travel out of Morocco.
Passport stamps
Some tourists report having trouble leaving the country without a stamp in their passport.
Get your passport stamped when you enter Morocco.
Closed borders
The land border between Morocco and Algeria is closed.
Don't attempt to cross into Algeria by land.

How long must my Australian passport be valid for Morocco?
In its “Travel” section, Smartraveller gives no passport validity period specific to Morocco.
The official “Passport” text below is Smartraveller's general advice, the same on every destination page. Check the rule with the embassy of the country and with your airline before you travel.
Official text, “Passport”:
Validity
Many countries require your passport to be valid for at least 6 months before entering or departing. This includes for transit.
If your passport expires too soon, you might not be able to travel.
The Australian Government doesn’t make these rules. Check your passport’s expiry date before you go. If you’re not sure, it’s a good idea to get a new passport.
The same section also has Smartraveller's general notes (“Lost or stolen passport”, “Passport with 'X' gender identifier”), the same on every destination page: read them on the official page.

The airline and the border officials of the destination decide whether you can travel or enter: this site is information, not legal advice. British passport? See the UK (FCDO) rules.
