Visa problems for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco
The visa issues for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco mainly concern the administration of the Yalla app
(errors, overload), the requirement for an electronic travel authorisation (AEVM) for certain countries (Algeria, Tunisia, etc.), difficulties with direct flights between Algeria and Morocco, and possible rejections due to incorrectly or incompletely filled out documents. The aim is to facilitate access via the Yalla app, but despite the electronic visa being free of charge, technical and political restrictions remain.

Common problems and solutions
- Yalla app: Errors and connection overload have been reported, making access difficult. Technical support is available to help you.
- AEVM application: Certain countries (Algeria, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Gabon, Niger, Senegal, Togo, Tunisia) must obtain an electronic travel authorisation (AEVM) in addition to a passport, which is valid from 25 September 2025 to 25 January 2026.
- Free of charge: The electronic visa for CAN 2025 is available free of charge via the Yalla app.
- Documents: Ensure that your passport is valid and that the scanned documents are clear and legible and contain consistent information to avoid rejection.
- Transport (Algeria): The lack of direct flights and the closure of the borders with Algeria make travel difficult, sometimes requiring stopovers and increasing costs.
- Tickets: Technical problems also affected ticket sales, meaning that some foreigners who were already in the country had to present a residence permit.
Tips for avoiding rejections
- Please fill out the form carefully.
- Scan your documents (passport, ID cards) in high quality.
- Check the validity of your passport.
- Submit your application in good time.
- If you encounter any technical problems, please contact Yalla customer service.
