Morocco Electronic Travel Authorization (AEVM)
Electronic Travel Authorization to Morocco (AEVM)
In short
The AEVM (Autorisation Électronique de Voyage au Maroc) is a pre-travel authorization that Morocco requires from a small group of otherwise visa-exempt nationalities: the ministry's list marks Mali, Congo (Brazzaville) and Guinea (Conakry). It is requested on Accès Maroc with a photo and the passport data page, is sent by email once accepted, and is not needed by travellers aged 55 or over.

Who needs the AEVM
On the Foreign Ministry's exemption list, three entries carry the AEVM note: Mali, Congo (Brazzaville) and Guinea (Conakry). The Accès Maroc eligibility check decides: it tells you that you are exempt, must file an AEVM request, or need an e-Visa or consular visa. Travellers aged 55 or over need no authorization.
What the form asks for
Two uploads are mandatory: a photo and the passport's first (data) page; only ordinary passports are accepted. The form also asks for the purpose of the trip, who pays for it, the planned border post of entry or transit, and the host company or a hotel or temporary address in Morocco. Event visitors give the registration number; transit passengers state whether they hold entry authorization for the final destination.

Processing and tracking
No processing time is published; the portal says the consular post will contact you after receiving the documents, so file well ahead. Track the request with the file number and your email. Once accepted, the AEVM is downloaded from the email you receive; show it with your passport at boarding and at the border.
Travelling as a family or group
Each traveller under 55 needs their own authorization, but companions can be added as extra requests in one file. Add everyone before validating: once the file is validated, no further requests can be attached and a new file is needed.
False statements
Any false statement leads to rejection, or cancellation of an issued authorization, and may lead to prosecution, as the form's declaration states. The AEVM does not replace the border check.
Getting help
Use only acces-maroc.ma; the ministry warns that intermediary sites are not run by the Moroccan government. The portal refers applicants with problems to the central consular service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reachable on +212 537 66 33 00.
Frequently asked questions
Is the AEVM the same as the e-Visa?
No. The AEVM is an authorization for nationalities that are otherwise visa-exempt but must register before travel; the e-Visa is a visa for visa-required travellers.
Which nationalities need an AEVM?
Nationals of Mali, Congo (Brazzaville) and Guinea (Conakry), the three entries on the exemption list that carry the AEVM note, unless they are aged 55 or over.
I am over 55. Do I still apply?
No. The portal states that travellers aged 55 or over do not need a travel authorization.
Can I put my children in my AEVM file?
Yes. Add a separate request for each companion in the same file, and do it before you validate it.
