Ghana and the Kingdom of Morocco have agreed to a bilateral visa waiver arrangement that will allow Ghanaian citizens to travel to Morocco without the need for traditional visas.The new policy, which takes im­mediate effect, replaces the previous visa regime with an online travel authorisation system.Under the new arrangement, Gha­naians can apply for travel authori­sation online and receive approval within 24 hours, eliminating the need for embassy appointments and physi­cal visa processing.The agreement was one of several outcomes of a two-day working visit to Morocco by Ghana's Foreign Af­fairs Minister, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.The pact was signed following high-level bilateral talks with Moroc­co's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Nasser Bourita.The development is significant to the already existing relations between Ghana-Morocco and reflects a grow­ing trend of intra-African mobility and cooperation."With existing direct flights, which will 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 said in a statement copied to the Ghana News Agency.He emphasised the need to make African borders bridges that fostered connectivity and economic collabora­tion, rather than becoming barriers."Diplomacy must make meaning­ful impact in the lives of the people we serve," Mr Ablakwa was quoted as saying.The visa waiver is expected to en­hance commercial exchanges, cultural ties, and tourism flows between the two nations, in line with the African Union's vision of greater continental integration.The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration is expected to issue further guidelines on the im­plementation of the online authorisa­tion system in the coming days.-GNA
