The Moroccan passport continues to make tangible progress on the international stage, benefiting from an effective diplomatic dynamic that has expanded the number of countries allowing Moroccan citizens to enter without a visa. These developments reflect the success of Morocco’s foreign policy in strengthening its international partnerships, providing Moroccan citizens with broader opportunities for travel without complex administrative restrictions.
In 2024, three new countries joined the list of destinations that grant visa-free entry to Moroccans. Morocco signed a mutual visa exemption agreement with Kazakhstan, which came into effect in September, allowing citizens of both nations to travel freely. Additionally, Thailand, in an effort to boost tourism, decided to waive visa requirements for Moroccans, granting them a stay of up to 60 days. In a significant move, China announced that Moroccan citizens would be exempt from visa requirements starting November 30, allowing entry for tourism, business, or family visits for up to 30 days.
This expansion of visa exemptions highlights growing international confidence in Morocco and strengthens the global ranking of its passport. Facilitating Moroccan citizens’ mobility also opens new economic opportunities, from boosting the tourism sector to enhancing trade and investment relations with the involved countries. Beyond economic benefits, these developments underscore the success of Morocco’s diplomatic approach, which is based on mutual cooperation and shared interests.
Morocco is expected to continue its efforts in this direction, potentially leading to further visa exemptions in the future.
