When it's 6:00 PM in Barcelona, it's 5:00 PM in Marrakesh.
Spanish passport holders enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry. Fill out a white entry/exit form on the plane or at the immigration counter. Hand it to the officer with your passport. The process is quick at major airports like Casablanca, Marrakech, and Tangier.
There is no formal extension process for the 90-day tourist stay. If you need more time, the standard approach is to leave Morocco (Ceuta, Melilla, or the Canary Islands count as exits since they are Spanish territory) and re-enter for a fresh 90 days. Overstaying results in questioning at departure and a potential ban on future entry.
