Paperwork Needed to Enter Morocco
Every visitor to Morocco must have a valid passport (for at least six months from the time one enters Morocco) and a visa, if required. Please ensure that you have at least two (2) blank facing pages in your passport.
Travel regulations are known to change without notice to the public. We recommend before you travel, to check the current regulations with the Moroccan Embassy in your country. A list of Moroccan Embassies around the world can be found here.
On arrival, you are required to complete an arrival form, normally issued on the airplane – be sure to complete this before arriving at the desk of the passport official. The same form is to be completed on departure and handed in as you pass through passport control – they are available at the airport before passing through the embarkation gates, but pens are not. It is recommended that you have a pen on hand as this form must be completed before arriving at the desk of the passport official.
Visas
Many visitors to Morocco require a visa in order to enter the country. You cannot apply for a visa upon arrival. If you will require a visa to visit Morocco, be sure to allow plenty of time for the application process before your departure date.

Inoculations and Vaccinations
Please also note that a yellow fever inoculation certificate is required for entry into Morocco if you have travelled from or through a yellow fever zone in the previous 6 days before entry. You cannot get an inoculation upon arrival and your inoculation certificate must be dated at least ten days prior to your arrival in Morocco.
Travel clinics recommend Hepatitis A, Typhoid and Hepatitis B vaccinations (more than 15 days before departure). Please consult your local doctor / travel clinic for further advice.
Statement on Ebola
With the Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak in West Africa, AORTIC together with the Lalla Salma Foundation, will continue to monitor the situation leading up to AORTIC 2015 and follow the guidelines as stipulated by the World Health Organisation.
EVD is very rare and the likelihood of an outbreak in Morocco, North Africa, is very low due to the low transmissibility of the virus and the low volume of travel from affected areas to Morocco.
Morocco is Ebola-free and we do not expect any impact on AORTIC 2015.
