How to think about the paths

1. Visa-exempt short stay

Some nationalities may enter Morocco without a visa, sometimes for a limited number of days. The official exemption list is on consulat.ma. Examples that appear on that official list include the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia, Japan and China — but the complete list, and any stay-length limits, live only on the official page (which mentions, among others, Maldives 30 days, Hong Kong 30 days, Malaysia 90 days, Hungary 90 days).

Some visa-exempt travellers may still need an AEVM (electronic travel authorisation). The official list we read on 12 November 2026 marked Mali, Congo (Brazzaville), and Guinea (Conakry) with “Besoin d’une AEVM.” That marking can change; use the official eligibility check on acces-maroc.ma. We do not “correct” or re-host the official table (its English translations are sometimes awkward, for example a cell reading “Zealand news”).

2. eVisa

For certain travellers who do need a visa and who meet the categories published by Morocco. Apply only at acces-maroc.ma.

3. Visa at a Moroccan embassy or consulate

For everyone else, and for non-ordinary passports.

eVisa categories — paraphrase of the official note

Paraphrase of the official English briefing note “GENERAL INFORMATION” hosted on acces-maroc.ma, checked 12 November 2026. The PDF prevails: Conditions utilisation eVisa (PDF).

• Category A: ordinary-passport holders of Azerbaijan, Benin, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Guatemala, India, Jordan, Laos, Israel, Thailand and Vietnam, passport valid at least 90 days from the application date.
• Category B: visa-required citizens living in the EU, United States, Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, Norway, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates or Switzerland, ordinary passport valid at least 90 days, and a residence card or permit valid at least 180 days on the application date.
• Category C: visa-required citizens holding a multiple-entry, non-electronic visa issued by Schengen, the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Canada, Norway or New Zealand, that visa valid at least 90 days from the eVisa application, passport valid at least 90 days.

An eVisa has a maximum validity of 180 days from issue, is single entry, and allows a stay of not more than 30 days. Stays from several eVisas cannot be accumulated. It is issued for Tourism or Business; it does not allow applying for residency. Ordinary passports only.

Stated processing: 24 working hours (express) and 72 working hours (standard) in Morocco; not applicable to incomplete or false files. Once paid, the official note says the request cannot be cancelled or refunded. Minors under 18 holding an eVisa may enter only with a parent or legal representative.

Documents described in the note: an ICAO-style colour photo 35 × 45 mm taken within six months; a colour copy of the passport biodata page; for category B, the residence permit (both sides); for category C, the supporting visa; for Business, a justifying document. File types jpg, jpeg or pdf, maximum 1 MB.

On arrival, the official note invites travellers to be ready to show, if asked: the eVisa, passport, supporting residence card or visa used in the application, a return ticket, proof of means (it cites an international bank card or the equivalent of more than 70 euros in cash per person per day), and hospital or repatriation insurance covering the stay. Possession of an eVisa is not an irrevocable right of entry.
