Morocco lifted entry restrictions imposed on travelers coming from China as of April 5, 2023, as read on the Chinese Embassy in Morocco’s statement released today.

In January and in light of the massive surge in Covid-19 cases in the Asian country, Morocco announced that only passengers who leave the People’s Republic of China and stay in a third country for 7 days can enter Morocco, regardless of their nationality.

As many countries imposed travel bans on people coming from China, the republic previously slammed the decision by calling it discriminatory and warned of strict countermeasures.

The Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs then said that “this exceptional measure does not in any way affect the strong friendship and the strategic partnership between the two countries, to which the Kingdom remains firmly attached.”

Now, all visitors coming from China could access Moroccan territory with no bans or restrictions.
