Ghanaian Travelers Rejoice as Morocco Scraps Visa Requirements

Ghana and Morocco have inked a historic agreement, effectively waiving visa requirements for Ghanaians traveling to Morocco.

As of now, all Ghanaians planning a trip to Morocco will only need to secure an online authorization, which will be granted within 24 hours, eliminating the need for cumbersome embassy appointments.

According to a government official, this breakthrough agreement was reached during a 2-day working visit, specifically during a meeting with Morocco’s Foreign Minister, H.E. Nasser Bourita.

“This is one of the significant agreements reached yesterday… With existing direct flights which would be increased following this new agreement, we expect this bilateral visa waiver policy to greatly facilitate trade, tourism, and deepen people-to-people engagements between both countries.”

The official further underscored the importance of African unity and cooperation.

“The borders in Africa must not be allowed to divide us — they can be bridges of connectivity.”

This philosophy, the official emphasized, underpinned the new agreement. “Diplomacy must make meaningful impact in the lives of the people we serve.”

As the announcement coincided with the Eid celebrations, the official took a moment to extend warm greetings to the Muslim community, saying, “I wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters a happy Eid.” This development is poised to usher in a new era of enhanced bilateral relations between Ghana and Morocco.
