What the Morocco Electronic Travel Authorization is
The Morocco Electronic Travel Authorization is the electronic authorization a small number of nationalities must hold before travelling to Morocco. Its official name is “Apply for an Electronic Authorization to Travel to Morocco (AEVM)”. AEVM and Morocco ETA are two names for the same instrument.
It is a permanent part of Morocco’s entry framework — not a temporary measure for a particular event or season.
The AEVM is not the Morocco eVisa. The eVisa is a separate electronic route used by other nationalities; to see how that one works, read the complete Morocco eVisa guide.
Who needs a Morocco AEVM
The AEVM applies to citizens of exactly four countries:
- Ecuador
- Ghana
- Guinea
- Republic of the Congo
Hold a passport from one of these four and the AEVM is your route to Morocco. If your nationality is not listed, the AEVM does not apply to you — start from the Morocco visa policy overview or look yourself up in the country directory. Mali is often confused with this group: Malian citizens are visa-exempt and need no AEVM.
You do not need a residence permit or another country’s sticker visa. AEVM eligibility follows your nationality.
What a Morocco AEVM looks like
The AEVM is a one-page document issued by the Moroccan authorities and delivered as a PDF. It shows the holder’s name, date of birth, passport number and issuing country, the authorization number, the date the authorization is valid until, and the entry conditions in Arabic, French and English.
Documents you need for the AEVM
Prepare these as digital copies before you start:
- Passport biographical-page scan — the page carrying your photograph and personal details.
- A digital photograph of the applicant.
- Your last 3 months’ bank statement.
- A hotel reservation covering your stay.
- National ID card — mandatory for the AEVM.
How the AEVM application works
You do not work through the AEVM process on your own. evis.ma is a private visa processing assistance service: you apply with us in the ordinary way and we handle the AEVM route on your behalf.
- Start your Morocco visa application on evis.ma, exactly as any applicant would.
- Complete the application with your details.
- Pay for the service to submit it.
- We review your application and determine which route applies to your nationality.
- If the AEVM is your route, we send you a link to an additional form.
- You complete that form and provide the required documents.
- We handle the remaining AEVM processing, obtain the authorization from the Moroccan authorities and deliver it to you.
When your documents are ready, start your application.
How long the AEVM takes
Processing takes 1–3 business days. There is no urgent or express AEVM service, so leave room between applying and travelling rather than counting on a faster tier that does not exist.
What the AEVM costs
There is no separate AEVM product and no separate AEVM checkout. Your applicable service price is shown before payment when you start your application, and handling the AEVM route is part of that Morocco visa processing service rather than a surcharge added on top.
AEVM validity and how long you can stay
The AEVM is issued for a single entry. Once admitted, you may stay in Morocco for up to 90 days from the date of entry. Each approved authorization carries its own “valid until” date on the document itself.
You must travel on the same passport you submitted with the application. If your passport changes before you travel, the application has to be updated so the authorization matches the document you actually carry.
Entry conditions and what happens at the border
An AEVM does not guarantee admission to Morocco. Moroccan border control makes the final decision, entry can still be refused, and additional supporting documents may be requested on arrival. Carry the documents that supported your application — not the authorization alone.
Travelling with family or companions
Each accompanying traveller must obtain their own AEVM. There is no family or group authorization: every member of your party holding one of the four nationalities needs an application in their own name.
If your AEVM is refused
If your AEVM is refused, you may apply for a sticker visa at the nearest Moroccan embassy or consulate. A refusal does not mean a sticker visa will be granted — the consulate assesses that application on its own terms.
All decisions rest with the competent Moroccan authorities. evis.ma is a private visa assistance service and is not a government department or embassy; no service, ours included, can guarantee that an authorization will be issued or that you will be admitted.
