Ghanaian passport holders can now travel to Morocco without the need for a visa, following a new agreement reached between the two countries' foreign ministries.

The policy, which took effect on Friday, June 6, 2025, marks a major step toward deepening bilateral ties and promoting African integration.

The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Accra confirmed the development in an official statement released on Thursday, June 12, 2025. 
The decision was reached after high-level talks between Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, His Excellency Nasser Bourita, and Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, held in Rabat on June 5, 2025.

“The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco has the honor to inform that following discussions between H.E. Mr. Nasser Bourita… and the Honourable Minister H.E. Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa… it has been decided that with immediate effect, Ghanaian citizens holders of ordinary passports do no longer need Visa to enter Morocco,” the statement read.

Under the new arrangement, Ghanaian travellers with ordinary passports are only required to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization to Morocco (ETAM), which must be completed online via the portal: https://www.acces-maroc.ma.

Ghanaian holders of Diplomatic, Service, and Special Passports were already exempt from visa requirements and are not required to complete the ETAM process either.

In a post on his official X account, Mr Ablakwa confirmed the implementation of the no-visa regime, writing: “The Moroccan Embassy in Accra confirms it has commenced the No Visa Policy for holders of Ghanaian Ordinary Passports following the recent agreement I initiated.”

He further encouraged Ghanaians to take full advantage of the travel opportunity, adding: “You all enjoy your trips to beautiful Morocco. Let's build a borderless Africa. For God and Country.”

The Embassy also provided a helpline (0570692450) for those requiring further information or assistance regarding the new travel arrangement.

This visa exemption aligns with broader efforts to enhance cooperation between African states, stimulate tourism, and facilitate economic exchanges between Ghana and Morocco.
