There is no official limit on how much cash you can bring into Morocco. However, you must declare any amount exceeding €10,000 (or equivalent in other currencies) upon arrival.
Here's a breakdown of what you need to know:
Declaring Cash
- Declaration: If you are carrying more than €10,000 in cash, you must declare it to customs officials upon arrival. This applies to all currencies.
- Documentation: Be prepared to provide documentation for the source of the funds if requested.
- Consequences of Non-Declaration: Failure to declare a large amount of cash can result in fines, seizure of funds, and potential legal action.
Practical Tips
- Currency Exchange: It is generally advisable to exchange a small amount of cash at the airport or a bank upon arrival.
- Card Payments: Morocco is increasingly accepting card payments, especially in major cities and tourist areas.
- ATMs: ATMs are widely available, but check with your bank for any fees associated with international withdrawals.
Additional Considerations
- Currency: The official currency of Morocco is the Moroccan dirham (MAD).
- Exchange Rates: Check current exchange rates before your trip to get a better idea of how much cash you will need.
- Safety: Keep your cash secure and avoid carrying large sums of money in public.
