Hi everyone. I am trying to find out if I can travel to Morroco without being fully vaccinated against covid, Is it mandatory if I'm from the UK? I will flying into Morroco from France or Spain but I haven't been vaccinated and I don't know if I'll be allowed entry? Can anyone advise on this please? Thank you

You will need to provide proof that you have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with the second dose administered at least two weeks prior to travel, and a negative PCR test result before boarding your flight or ferry to Morocco. The result must show that the PCR test itself was undertaken no more than 48 hours before boarding.

Even if you are allowed to travel to Morocco with just a PCR test, unfortunately you will not be allowed entry into any malls or cafe and hotels without evidence of your Covid vaccine.

Tracking between cities will also need to show evidence of vaccine pass. U.K. NHS vaccine pass is acceptable within Morocco.

It's better to contact the airline or British embassy for further clarification on the matter to be sure.

Recent rules for Moroccan citizen and residence:
1st vaccine - pass valid for 28 days
2nd vaccine - Pass valid for 6 months
3rd Vaccine  - Pass valid until further notice.

Vaccines have somewhat become mandatory in order to continue with normal way of life to some extend.

Thank you so much, I will look into this further. I appreciate your response 😊

Yes you need to be fully vaccinated.  I'm just returning from Morocco last week.

Looks like I won't be traveling to Morocco then. There's no way I'm getting it.

I don't know why people are spreading the word of unvaccinated people not be able to travel to Morocco, when that is not entirely true. As of right now, even unvaccinated people are able to travel, they just need to have negative PCR test done 48 to 72 hours prior to boarding their flight. 48 or 72 hours is depending on a country you are flying from and for that information you can go to their website...WELCOME TO MOROCCO, there you will find a list of countries made into category A and B... if you are flying from category A ...you need to have your PCR test done within 48 hours and you might have to quarantine for 7 to 14 days...again, there is a list of countries that are mandated to quarantine at the arrival....countries from list B....needs a PCR test no more than 72 hours before the flight and there is no quarantine for these countries. Anyhow, before your decision to purchase the ticket, search the info and ask the airline as well. Morocco is trying to implement vaccine passport for restaurants, bars, movie theaters and any of the public spaces but other than that you don't need to be vaccinated to travel, however search and ask before doing so. Another thing...if you are planning to travel between the cities...unvaccinated...best bet is to travel by bus or train as there are police barrage everywhere and they will ask for the vaccine passport but traveling by bus, they are not doing that as much, if by any chance they stop the bus and ask you for vaccine passport but you don't have it... worst thing is, they issue you a ticket, lol
Plan, search, ask and travel...simple....enjoy...

Things changed this month, November. I know Royal Air Maroc said neg test or vaccinayion. But I don't know right now if that is still the case. If vaccinated a neg test is required within 24 hrs or 72 hrs. Different websites say different things. Does anyone know how it is currently?
