Can children travel to Morocco with an eVisa?
Under Moroccan entry laws, minors (individuals under 18 years of age) are eligible for an eVisa if they hold a qualifying passport. However, minors cannot travel completely unaccompanied without designated guardianship proof.
A child must hold their own individual machine-readable passport and entry document. Children endorsed on a parent's passport cannot apply for or use a Morocco eVisa.
Prepare your child's travel dossier early
Ensure all family members submit matching travel dates and lodging details. For children with different surnames, carry birth certificates confirming the parent-child relationship.
Documents required for minor eVisa submission
Ensure high-resolution digital scans are uploaded for each child applying for an entry permit:
| Document | Preparation Guidance |
|---|---|
| Child's Passport Bio-Page | Valid for at least 90 days from application. Must be the minor's own individual passport book. |
| Digital Passport Photograph | Clear portrait against a plain background. Infants and toddlers must be photographed without toys or hands visible. |
| Birth Certificate | Unabridged certificate showing names of both parents, used for identity matching during border inspection. |
| Guardian Residence / Visa | If qualifying via parent's residency, provide qualifying permit (Schengen, US, UK, etc.) valid for 180+ days. |
Border Tip: Moroccan border control (Direction Générale de la Sûreté Nationale) reserves the right to ask for custody or guardianship papers upon arrival at Moroccan airports.
Parental consent & custody guidelines
To prevent international child abduction, Moroccan immigration officials strictly review documentation for children travelling without both parents present:
- Travelling with one parent: Carry a signed, notarized parental authorization from the non-travelling parent, alongside a copy of their national ID or passport.
- Sole custody cases: In the case of sole guardianship or deceased parents, carry the court-issued custody decree or death certificate.
- Travelling with a third-party relative or school group: Prepare an official letter of consent signed by both parents specifying the appointed guardian's details, trip duration, and local contact numbers.
