Two routes into Morocco
All Luxembourg citizens
Visa-free entry
Luxembourg is an EU member state, and the Moroccan government exempts all EU passport holders from needing a visa for short tourist or business trips. No e-Visa or travel authorisation is needed before flying.
Longer stays
Embassy visa
Anyone who wants to stay beyond 90 days, or for a purpose the visa-free rule doesn't cover, should contact a Moroccan embassy or consulate before travelling, since the e-Visa route is not meant for this passport.
How long you may stay
Luxembourg passport holders can stay in Morocco for up to 90 days without a visa, on each entry. The 90 days is a maximum stay, not a right to work or to live in Morocco.
90 days per visit: The visa-free period covers tourism and business visits. It doesn't cover working, studying long-term, or settling in Morocco.
Not automatic: If you need to stay past 90 days, you must contact the Direction de la Sûreté Nationale with a justified reason before your time runs out. Extensions aren't guaranteed.
Counted from entry: The 90 days runs from the date you enter Morocco. Leaving and re-entering starts a new visa-free period, but repeated short trips to stay long-term can still raise questions at the border.
Overstaying has consequences: Staying beyond 90 days without an extension can lead to a fine and removal from Morocco, with a risk of being barred from re-entry.
Your document checklist
Four things to have ready before you start your application, as a Luxembourgish applicant.
Passport
Must be valid for your entire stay in Morocco. A Luxembourg national ID card isn't accepted on its own; a passport is required at entry.
Return or onward ticket
Border police can ask to see a return or onward flight booking, even for visa-free travellers.
Proof of sufficient funds
Bank statements, a payment card, or cash can be used to show you can support yourself for the trip.
Travel insurance
Cover for hospitalisation and repatriation is recommended; carry proof in case it's checked at the border.
Questions Luxembourgish travellers actually ask
No. Morocco exempts all EU passport holders, including Luxembourg citizens, from needing a visa for stays of up to 90 days.
No. A passport is required to enter Morocco. A national ID card isn't accepted on its own at the border.
No. Unlike some other visa-exempt nationalities, Luxembourg isn't currently on the list of countries needing an online travel authorisation (AEVM) before flying to Morocco.
You would need to apply for an extension from the Direction de la Sûreté Nationale before your 90 days end, with a justified reason. Extensions aren't automatic.
No. The visa-free entry is for tourism and business visits. It doesn't allow you to take up work or settle in Morocco.
Your passport should be valid for your whole stay in Morocco. Check its expiry date before you travel.
Overstaying without an approved extension can lead to a fine and removal from Morocco, with a risk of being barred from re-entry.
It isn't a formal entry requirement, but carrying proof of travel insurance that covers hospitalisation and repatriation is recommended, and border staff can ask to see it.

The things that make the first
48 hours easy, compared with home
Your Luxembourgish plug fits. Here's what to expect.
Type C
Two round pins · 2.5 A
Type E
Two round pins · 16 A
Type C
Type C is used both at home and in Morocco, so your own plugs fit — though you may meet the other types too.
Voltage
220 V · 50 Hz
Against 230 V · 50 Hz at home. Check the label on chargers and appliances: anything marked 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz works in both.
Pack: nothing special — your type C plugs go straight in. A small power strip is still handy where hotel rooms have one socket.
Morocco drives on the right — just like home

Morocco · right-hand traffic — same as Luxembourg
Getting around
ONCF trains link the main cities fast and comfortably. Metered 'petit taxis' work within cities, while shared 'grand taxis' or buses cover longer routes. Hiring a car suits trips into the Atlas Mountains or desert.
Health and insurance
No vaccines are mandatory for most travellers, though routine and hepatitis A/B cover is often advised. Morocco's e-Visa rules expect travellers to carry health and repatriation insurance, so arrange this before you go.
Customs and etiquette
Dress modestly away from beaches and resorts, ask before photographing people, and expect reduced hours at restaurants and shops during Ramadan.
Moroccan Dirhams, cash and cards
Morocco uses the Moroccan Dirham (MAD).
Currency controls apply
Taking Moroccan dirhams out of the country is capped at 1,000 MAD. Bringing in or taking out foreign banknotes worth 100,000 MAD or more must be declared to customs on arrival.
ATMs are easy to find in cities
Cash machines are common in Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech and other cities, but carry enough cash before heading into the mountains, desert or small towns.
Cash still rules day to day
Cards are accepted at hotels, bigger shops and restaurants, but markets, taxis and tips are usually cash-only, so keep small dirham notes on hand.

Sweet spot: Rabat has a Mediterranean-Atlantic climate: mild, wetter winters and warm, dry summers. Spring and autumn bring comfortable temperatures for sightseeing, while summer can get hot and winter brings most of the rain.
