ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS continued:
Children born to a Moroccan father may experience difficulty in leaving Morocco without the father’s
permission. These children are considered under Moroccan law to be Moroccan citizens. Even if the
children bear U.S. passports, immigration officials may require proof that the father has approved their departure before
the children will be allowed to leave Morocco. Although women, regardless of their nationality, are normally
granted custody of their children in divorces, the father must approve the children’s departure from Morocco.
Women must obtain permission to move the children more than 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) from their last residence
before the divorce. American women married to Moroccans do not need their spouse’s permission to leave Morocco.
In an effort to prevent international child abduction, many governments have initiated procedures at entry/exit
points. These often include requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission for the child’s travel from
the parent(s) or legal guardian not present. Having such documentation on hand, even if not required, may facilitate
entry/departure.
