Russian citizens can fly with Moroccan Airlines through Casablanca without needing a visa.

Waiting on available benches in the transit area is also a viable option, offering fresh air and personal space.

Citizens of Russia enjoy visa-free entry for transit in Casablanca, Morocco. Transit passengers with long layovers can exit the airport. Travelers should strictly account for heavy traffic when planning return travel to Mohammed V International Airport (CMN).

Turkish Airlines often requires passengers traveling to Latin American countries to present a return ticket to their country of origin (e.g., Russia) to ensure that the airline is not liable for free repatriation if the passenger is denied entry. A valid, paid, and preferably refundable return ticket with Turkish Airlines to the origin country is the safest option. A ticket to a third country or a mere booking might not be accepted. Other airlines like Royal Air Maroc may have more lenient policies and might not always check for onward tickets or accept tickets to a third country.

It is generally permissible to enter Morocco with a one-way ticket. Travelers have reported successful entry under these circumstances. If questioned about the lack of a return ticket, a simple statement indicating that a decision has not yet been made is usually sufficient.

When transiting through Morocco with children whose passports have less than six months validity, note that Moroccan immigration rules typically require passports to be valid for six months from the date of entry. However, for transit passengers with onward tickets to countries with different passport validity requirements (e.g., Schengen Area requiring 3 months), there might be more flexibility. It is advisable to contact the airline (RAM) for specific guidance, though they may not be available on weekends. Be aware that if you plan to leave the transit zone, border officials have the final say. Having valid onward tickets and potentially a Schengen visa can be advantageous. It is recommended to carry documentation outlining the entry requirements of your final destination.
