Following a new bilateral agreement between the two nations, Ghanaians will no longer need traditional visas to enter Morocco, marking a historic diplomatic achievement.

The policy has “immediate effect” and replaces the old visa system with a simplified online travel authorization process, as announced by Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in a Facebook post.

Travel between the two countries is now quicker and simpler thanks to the new authorization, which can be secured in less than a day and does away with the requirement for embassy appointments.

Officials believe the visa waiver will greatly increase commercial, tourism, and people-to-people ties between Ghana and Morocco, where there are currently direct flights and more are anticipated in light of this development.

“With immediate effect, Ghanaians will no longer require traditional visas to travel to Morocco.An online authorization which will be granted within 24-hours without embassy appointments is all that’s needed.

This is one of the significant agreements reached yesterday with the Foreign Minister of Morocco, H.E. Nasser Bourita on my 2-day working visit.
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 borders in Africa must not be allowed to divide us — they can be bridges of connectivity.
Diplomacy must make meaningful impact in the lives of the people we serve.
I wish all our Muslim brothers and sisters a happy Eid. Ablakwa said.
