Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has announced a significant travel update: Ghanaians can now visit Morocco without going through the traditional visa application process.
Following a two-day official visit to Morocco, Mr. Ablakwa disclosed that Ghana and Morocco have agreed on a visa-free travel arrangement. Under the new policy, Ghanaians will no longer need to visit the Moroccan embassy or attend interviews. Instead, travelers can obtain a simple online travel authorization, approved within 24 hours.
“This new process will greatly ease travel for Ghanaians visiting Morocco,” Mr. Ablakwa noted. “It’s a step forward in promoting tourism, trade, and stronger bonds between our two countries.”
The agreement was finalized during a meeting with Morocco’s Foreign Minister, H.E. Nasser Bourita, as part of broader efforts to enhance intra-African cooperation.
To complement this initiative, Mr. Ablakwa also announced plans to increase the number of direct flights between Ghana and Morocco.
“Our borders should not separate us,” he emphasized. “They should become bridges that bring our people closer.” Also read :Ghana and Morocco take steps towards implementing visa-free travel
