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.
Does Morocco have an ETA like the UK ETA or the US ESTA?
Only for four nationalities. Morocco’s ETA is the AEVM, and only citizens of Ecuador, Ghana, Guinea and the Republic of the Congo need it. The UK ETA and the US ESTA are pre-travel checks for visitors who do not need a visa; Morocco has no such check for its visa-free visitors. Your nationality decides your route:
- Visa-free: citizens of 78 countries and territories, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, travel with their passport alone and need no ETA, for stays of up to 90 days depending on nationality.
- eVisa: 111 nationalities apply online for the Morocco eVisa — 10 with a passport alone and 101 with a qualifying visa or residence permit.
- AEVM: citizens of Ecuador, Ghana, Guinea and the Republic of the Congo, with an ordinary passport and a national ID.
- Embassy visa: all other nationalities apply at a Moroccan embassy or consulate.
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, and besides your ordinary passport you need a national ID.
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 — mandatory for all four nationalities. You enter its number in the form and upload a copy as proof of residence. Without a national ID the AEVM cannot be filed: a passport alone is not enough.
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 on the usual application form and we handle the AEVM on your behalf.
- Start your application on evis.ma and choose your nationality. For the four AEVM nationalities the price is 70 USD per traveller, everything included.
- Complete the application with your details, your photo and your passport page.
- Pay 70 USD by card.
- Right after the payment you receive the link to your AEVM form by email and on the payment page. What you already gave us is filled in.
- Complete the AEVM form and upload your national ID card, your last 3 months’ bank statement and a hotel reservation.
- We file it with the Moroccan authorities, obtain the authorization and email 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.
Our AEVM record
As of October 2026, evis.ma has obtained 38 AEVMs for its customers, and none of the AEVM applications we filed has been refused.
What the AEVM costs
The AEVM costs 70 USD per traveller with evis.ma, everything included. You pay it on the application form; there is no urgent AEVM tier and no second payment.
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.
On evis.ma each traveller is a separate application at 70 USD and gets their own AEVM form.
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.
