Note on 6-Month "Rule": Both the Auswärtiges Amt and BMEIA explicitly state on their own websites that only the Moroccan Embassy can provide legally binding information. The 6-month figure is a conservative recommendation, not Moroccan law. Morocco's actual requirement (Loi 02-03) defines no minimum validity period beyond having a valid passport.
