What happens if you overstay 90 days in Morocco?

If you overstay the 90-day visa-free limit in Morocco, you can be held up at departure, questioned, and asked to pay a fine or obtain paperwork before you’re allowed to leave, and repeated overstays can affect future entry. It’s not usually catastrophic for a short overstay, but it’s a real hassle to avoid.

The cleaner options are to extend through the local police before your 90 days run out, or to do a border run (typically via Ceuta, Melilla or a ferry to Spain) and re-enter, which resets the clock — though relying on this repeatedly can draw attention. Don’t simply let the days lapse and hope for the best.

If you realise you’ll overstay, deal with it proactively at a police station rather than at the airport under time pressure. Keeping within the rules keeps your exit smooth and your record clean.
