Ghanaians travelling to Morocco will no longer require traditional visas, Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said.
The measure takes effect immediately as Ghana and Morocco reached a number of bilateral agreements, the minister announced on Friday.

“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,” Ablakwa said.
“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,” he added.
Ghana already has several visa arrangements with many countries. The addition of Morocco makes it the 25th country to reach such a bilateral agreement.
