We were given a permit to travel to Morocco by the Moroccan Consulate in France before the country announced that they are opening for tourism. Lease contract of the apartment was submitted to the Moroccan consulate, with copies of passports of people traveling. We were given a stamped paper by the Moroccan consulate to travel on the special flights by Royal Air Maroc. Special flights of Royal Air Maroc have a more secure schedule than other flights and airlines that are the first to cancel if there is a sudden change. I am not sure if the lease contract is still accepted after the opening of borders for tourism.

Extra Covid-19 procedures during travel to Morocco
- Wearing of facemask
- Social distancing in the airport is not strictly followed, unfortunately.
- After the immigration counter at Morocco, we had to line up at the immigration office and someone would check again the proof of residency/booking with passport.
- Then going down we filled out 2 forms for the police checkpoint (i guess because we arrived after curfew, not sure if it is for all)
