When it's 6:00 PM in London, Essex, it's 6:00 PM in Marrakesh.
British passport holders enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. No fee, no advance application. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the entry date. You fill in a white entry card on arrival (also available at check-in counters). Processing at Moroccan airports is typically quick.
Bring proof of accommodation and a return ticket. Immigration rarely asks for financial evidence from UK nationals. Overstaying the 90-day limit incurs a ban on future entry. Extending beyond 90 days requires leaving and re-entering, as tourist extensions are not processed domestically. The 90 days is a single continuous block, not a rolling period.
