The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, says Ghanaians travelling to Morocco will no longer need traditional visas, following a new bilateral agreement.
In a Facebook post on Friday, June 6, Mr. Ablakwa revealed that under the new arrangement, Ghanaians can obtain online travel authorisation within 24 hours, without the need for embassy appointments.
The move, finalised during his two-day working visit to Morocco, was agreed upon in talks with his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita.
“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,” Mr. Ablakwa noted.
He added that the development is part of a broader diplomatic vision to transform African borders into “bridges of connectivity” and ensure diplomacy delivers real benefits to citizens.
Mr. Ablakwa concluded his message by extending Eid greetings to Muslims across the country.
