Planning a Morocco trip in 2026? Let me make visa stuff super simple for you! Morocco's entry rules are easier than you think, but some sneaky details can trip you up.
Here's the good news: if you're from the EU, US, Canada, Australia, or lots of other countries, you don't need a visa! You can visit Morocco for 90 days without any paperwork. Easy, right?
Well... almost. Even without a visa, you still need:
Morocco's e-Visa system started in July 2022, and by 2026, it's working really smoothly. Most people get approved in just 24-48 hours, that's less than 2 days!
This guide tells you everything in plain English:
Let me walk you through everything step by step!
Your passport decides how you enter Morocco. It's like an international friendship system; some countries have special deals with Morocco, some don't.
Lucky you if you're from these places! You can just show up at the airport:
You DON'T need a visa if you're from:
You automatically get 90 days as a tourist (some countries get 30 days, check your specific country).
Want to stay longer? You can extend your visit by another 90 days at the local police stations in Morocco. Just make sure your passport stays valid the whole time!
Wait... What's This AEVM Thing?
Here's something confusing: even if you don't need a visa, some countries still need something called AEVM (Electronic Travel Authorization). It's like a permission slip before you fly.
You need AEVM if you're from these countries (even though you don't need a visa):
Good news, you DON'T need AEVM if you:
Apply for AEVM at www.acces-maroc.ma at least 4 days (96 hours) before your flight. Most people get approved in 1-2 days.
Special Passports = Easy Entry
If you work for your government and have a diplomatic or service passport from countries like Albania, Angola, Azerbaijan, or Bosnia, you get special access to Morocco.
Types of special passports:

How to apply:
Pro tip: Apply one week before your trip. This gives you extra time if they need more documents or if there's a delay.
Here's a cool trick! If you already have a visa from certain trusted countries, Morocco says, "That's good enough for us!"
You can use this shortcut if you have a valid visa from:
Morocco trusts these countries, so if they already checked you, Morocco doesn't need to check again. Smart, right?
Some countries can't use the online system yet. You have to go to a Moroccan embassy or consulate in person.
Who needs the traditional method:
What you need:
How long it takes: 7-15 business days (sometimes longer!)

These are the surprise rules that catch people off guard. Let me warn you now so you don't get stuck!
This is SO confusing: your country might be "visa-free," but you still need AEVM!
If you're from Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Congo, Ecuador, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo, or Tunisia yes, you need AEVM even though you don't need a visa.
Think of AEVM as a security check, not a visa. Morocco just wants to know you're coming.
