Entry, visas & border admin

Do you need a return ticket to enter Morocco?

You are not always asked for a return or onward ticket to enter Morocco, but border officials and airlines can request proof of onward travel, so it’s safest to have one. Airlines in particular may ask at check-in, since they’re liable if you’re refused entry, and a one-way traveller is more likely to be questioned.

If your plans are open, having a booked onward flight, ferry or bus — even a cheap or refundable one — avoids any issue at check-in or immigration. A hotel booking and evidence of funds can also help reassure officials.

This is standard practice for many countries rather than a Morocco-specific hurdle. Carry proof of onward travel and you’ll almost never be troubled about it.
