Western Sahara residents: visa requirements using a Morocco passport

Travel and entry information updated October 19, 2026. Confirm requirements with the relevant authorities.

Western Sahara does not issue its own passport

Western Sahara is a disputed territory whose residents’ travel documents can depend on the authority issuing them: residents travel on a Morocco passport, not a separate "Western Sahara" passport. A few destinations apply different rules to Western Sahara than to Morocco even though it's the same document; where they don't, the numbers below match the Morocco passport's own data.

See the Morocco passport page

Western Sahara residents travel using a Morocco passport. That is 38 visa-free, 24 with a visa on arrival, and 5 with an electronic travel authorisation. 20 more offer an e-visa; 161 require a visa before you travel.
