The Moroccan passport is a solid mid-tier document, ranked 62nd on the 2026 Henley Passport Index with about 72 visa-free or visa-on-arrival destinations, though like most non-EU passports it still needs a full visa for every Schengen state, the UK and North America. Its real edge is breadth in unexpected places: visa-free travel to Turkey (90 days), and — unusually for an African passport — to Brazil, Colombia (the only African country Colombia exempts), Ecuador and the Dominican Republic in the Americas. Asia is workable too, with 90 days visa-free in Malaysia, 60 in Thailand, 30 in the Philippines and 90 in South Korea via a K-ETA. Africa rounds it out with visa-free Kenya, Rwanda and Ghana, so a Moroccan traveler can plan long multi-country trips across three continents without an embassy visit.
Key Strengths
- A rare Latin-American run for an African passport: Brazil 90 days, Colombia 90 days (the only African nationality Colombia lets in visa-free), Ecuador 90 days and the Dominican Republic ~60 days, all without a visa
- Strong Asia access: Malaysia 90 days, Thailand 60 days and the Philippines 30 days visa-free, plus South Korea for 90 days on a K-ETA — far better East/Southeast Asian reach than most African passports
- Turkey visa-free for 90 days, a practical Europe–Asia hub, alongside quick online e-visas into the UAE and Qatar
- A revived African corridor: Kenya 60 days (eTA scrapped 14 Jul 2025), Rwanda 30 days and Ghana up to 90 days, all visa-free after the 2025–26 continental reforms
Recent Policy Changes
Africa opened up sharply in 2025–2026: Kenya removed its eTA for all African nationals on 14 July 2025 (60 days visa-free), and Ghana granted free visa-free entry to every African Union citizen from 25 May 2026 via a free online e-visa. Thailand’s generous 60-day exemption is being trimmed under a Cabinet reform approved on 19 May 2026, with Morocco’s exact new allowance unresolved as of July 2026. Colombia continues to treat Morocco as its sole visa-free African nationality (90 days), and South Africa added Morocco to its online e-visa list in the 2025 expansion, cutting out the consulate queue.

Tips for Morocco Passport Holders
Travel tips for Morocco travelers
- •South Korea is visa-free but not paperwork-free: Morocco is not on the K-ETA waiver list, so you must buy a K-ETA online before boarding (it is valid three years and covers 90-day stays)
- •Thailand’s 60-day exemption is being cut back: a 19 May 2026 Cabinet reform reassigns most countries to 30 days and Morocco does not yet appear on the published new lists — reconfirm the in-force rule and day count before booking a long Thai trip
- •Even the visa-free wins often need an online form first — Sri Lanka’s paid ETA, the Philippines’ eTravel card, Ghana’s free e-visa for Africans — and Europe still needs a full Schengen C-visa (ETIAS does not apply to Moroccans)
- •On residence and tax: Morocco taxes residents on worldwide income, and you become resident if Morocco is your permanent home, your center of economic interests, or you spend more than 183 days there in a year — nomads cycling back to Morocco between trips should track their days
