I have a passport that was renewed about 8 years ago and I want to go to Morocco next week with my partner. I've read that some countries require a minimum of 6 months validity left, but I don't know if Morocco is one of them or if they'll let me in like this.
I've traveled to Morocco and honestly, you do need a minimum of 6 months validity on your passport, so with 8 years since you renewed it you're probably right at the limit or past it. Best thing is to check the exact expiration date on your passport, and if you have less than 6 months left, you should really renew it right now before you go next week, because the process takes time. When exactly does your passport expire?
Don't pack your suitcase without checking the exact expiry date on your passport first. If you renewed it 8 years ago, it's likely running out because Spanish passports are valid for 10 years, so you'd already be near the limit or even past it.
Morocco does require those minimum 6 months of validity from the date you enter the country. It's not that they're especially strict, it's a pretty standard rule in the Maghreb and Middle East. The Moroccan border will let you in if you meet that requirement, but if you don't, they simply won't let you through. It's not a "sometimes yes, sometimes no" kind of thing - it's a fixed rule. Since you're traveling next week, the smartest thing is to call the passport issuing office nearest to you tomorrow (or check your autonomous community's website) to find out how long it takes to renew. In many places nowadays they do it pretty quickly if it's urgent.
If it turns out you still have enough validity, perfect, but don't leave it to chance. Better to go check the document physically than discover the problem when you're already at passport control.
