Each country on the list has a defined duration of permitted stay, meaning travellers are allowed entry and residence in Morocco for a set number of days under the visa-free arrangement.

Morocco's broader visa-free policy

Beyond the African continent, Morocco's government has extended the same travel privilege to citizens of several countries in other parts of the world.

The full list published by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs covers multiple continents, reflecting the kingdom's broader effort to ease travel restrictions and strengthen diplomatic and economic ties with a range of nations.

The announcement has drawn attention across the continent at a time when discussions around intra-African mobility and visa liberalisation have gained considerable momentum, with several African governments having recently made their own visa-free entry arrangements public.
