From Dec 27, Malaysians don't need visa to visit Morocco

Starting Dec 27, holders of all Malaysian Diplomatic, Official and Ordinary passports will be able to enter Morocco freely for 90 days, for official, business or social purposes without the requirement of a visa.

This is in accordance with the agreement on 'Partial Abolition of Visa Requirement' signed in Putrajaya on July 19 between the Government of Malaysia and the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco.

"After all internal requirements have been fulfilled by both countries, this Agreement will come into force on 27th December, 2017.

"The enforcement of this Agreement is expected to continue to strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries, as it provides a platform to further enhance the cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, investment and tourism," according to a press release issued by Foreign Ministry today.
