Tourist eVisa (or consular short-stay visa) for Morocco
Nationals of countries on Morocco's visa-exemption list (including the EU, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru and the Gulf states) can visit without a visa; a few of these must first get an Electronic Travel Authorisation (AEVM). Other eligible nationalities can apply online for an eVisa on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Accès Maroc portal (MAD 770, single entry, up to 30 days). Everyone else applies for a short-stay visa at a Moroccan embassy or consulate, which allows stays of 1 to 90 days.
