Moroccan Passport Ranks 135th Globally, 2nd in Maghreb Amid COVID Travel Restrictions

Despite the health crisis related to Covid-19, the Moroccan passport has maintained its position as the second most powerful passport in the Maghreb. It ranks 135th in the annual ranking of the most powerful passports in the world.

According to the ranking of the British firm Henley & Partners, the Moroccan passport ranks 135th out of 198 worldwide, thus offering Moroccans the possibility of traveling to 23 destinations without a visa. In the Maghreb, the kingdom’s passport ranks second behind the Tunisian passport (115th worldwide with 29 destinations) and ahead of the Algerian passport (150th worldwide with only 13 destinations).

The Covid-19 pandemic has prompted many countries to close their borders or tighten entry conditions on their territory. Moroccans are not (temporarily) allowed to enter 53 countries, 54 for Algerian and Tunisian passports.
