The EASE (Electronic Authorization System for Entry) online procedure now applies to Moroccan nationals wishing to travel to Cape Verde. This new procedure aims to simplify and speed up the process for Moroccan travellers entering the country.
What is EASE?
The EASE is an electronic authorisation system introduced by the Cape Verdean government to facilitate the entry of foreign visitors. It replaces the traditional visa for certain categories of travellers, including Moroccan nationals. This procedure involves paying an airport tax for all travellers arriving by air.
EASE application procedure
Documents required
To make an EASE request, Moroccan travellers must prepare the following documents:
- A passport valid for at least 2 months after the planned return date
- Details of their trip (dates, accommodation, etc.)
Application stages
- Fill in the online form
- Provide personal information and travel details
- Pay processing fees online
- Send the required documents by email
- Wait for confirmation and validation of the request by email
Advantages of EASE for Moroccans
There are several advantages to introducing the EASE for Moroccan nationals:
- Simplified procedure compared to the traditional visa
- Faster processing of requests
- Reduced formalities on arrival in Cape Verde
- You can apply online, without going to the embassy
Important considerations
Processing times
Although processing is generally rapid, it is recommended that EASE applications be submitted at least 5 working days before the scheduled departure.
Validity and length of stay
The EASE authorisation may be valid for one stay of 30 or 90 days from the date of entry into Cape Verde. The length of stay may vary depending on the nationality of the traveller. Moroccan nationals are authorised to stay for 90 days.. The EASE is valid for 1 year from the date of issue of the authorisation.
Restrictions
The EASE does not guarantee automatic entry into Cape Verde. The immigration authorities retain the right to refuse entry to any traveller who does not meet the entry conditions.

The introduction of the EASE for Moroccan nationals marks an important step in facilitating travel between Morocco and Cape Verde. This measure should encourage tourism and trade between the two countries, while simplifying administrative formalities for travellers.
It is important to note that information on immigration procedures may change. It is therefore advisable to always check with the Cape Verdean authorities or the Cape Verdean embassy in Morocco for the latest updates before embarking on a trip.
