Born in Utrecht to Moroccan parents, Aissati was eligible to represent either nation. He represented the Netherlands at U21 level, before opting to represent Morocco in 2007 instead. His first call-up for the Moroccan national team came in 2009. Sidelined by an injury however, his debut for Morocco was not until 9 October 2011. He also played on loan for FC Twente during the second half of the 2006–07 season, and Vitesse during the 2010–11 season, the year Ajax would clinch their 30th league title.
At the 2006 UEFA Under-21 Football Championship, Aissati reached the tournament all star squad, mostly playing against opponents three or four years older, Aissati himself being 17.
