From Cueta into Morocco
1)Leave Spain by driving through border post with just a wave.
2)Park up on the right before border
3)Go to first window with "white"entry cars (we got our card from ferry ticket office in Algeciras)
4)Next is customs with your passport and V5 document (original not a copy). Fill in the 3 piece form.
5)Get vehicle and drive up to next guy where he checks passports and asks if there is anything to declare. He also had a very quick look at the Landy.
And thats it. Drive past the hundreds of taxis and into Morocco.

For our 1974 honeymoon I drove to Morocco in a Triumph Vitesse convertible and the customs guy asked if I had arms and I (jokingly) said, "Yes, two." Whereupon we had to empty absolutely everything out of the car. Duh.

No sense of humour.

Excellent info - hoping to go in the future.

Regarding the Bible - would this be confiscated if you were carrying one?

They are looking for religious groups who are proselytising, which is against Moroccan law. One bible is acceptable, several crates of bibles are not.

A group who were running an orphanage near Azrou were expelled in March 2010, see Village of Hope This is one of two orphanages in the area that I visited a couple of years earlier.

Hey everyone :)

We will take the ferry on the 26th from Genua to Tangier and arrive there on the 28th around 1:30pm. We were wondering what recent experiences you made with the entry procedure? Do we need to prepare something or do we get
the form on the ferry? How long does it take normaly? We have both the green insurance card for our bikes.

Thanks and happy riding

Motorcycle insurance in Morocco
 

My bike is registered and insured in Ireland. My insurer offers neither coverage nor suggestions regarding where to get coverage. I just need 3d party liability for 12 days riding in Morocco in October, 2015. Can anyone help? I'd really like to get it before I arrive there.

Any other recent advice on entry procedures is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you arrive at Tan Med, the easiest entry port, just buy it there from the both. Takes 10 mins.
10 days 620dh (~50 eu)
1 month 950

The temporary vehicle import doc is worth getting in advance online.

Morocco insurance
 

Thanks for your reply and the link to entry details. I'll just have to do it that way. I wanted to secure the insurance before arrival, but am finding that virtually impossible. Do you know if they will accept euros or credit cards or must I exchange money first?

At TanMed it's all very easy. Immigration card on the boat (policeman with laptop), ride off and go to customs - show your online TVIP D16 or fill one out on the spot; then go to money changing cabin bank nearby and buy MAD - all kosher; then go next door and buy insurance. Then ride out.

Insurance
 

If it's your first visit to Morocco, or if you're on a new passport, you'll need to get your passport and CIN number entered into the police computer at one of the booths at the border. Staff will show you where to go.
The insurance guys will take euros - at the usual exchange rate of 10MAD=1€.

I paid for my insurance with a credit card at Tan Med rather than exchange money and then pay in cash.

It is all very simple at Tan Med, Just be patient with the border guards, polite and helpful and you will be away with no problems.

Make sure you get a ferry that arrives at a reasonable time time though. I doubt that the money changers or the insurance booths are open at 1am.

No harm in comparing the rates that the 3 money changing booths will offer you, don't neccesarilty go for the chap who shouts the loudest!
