Morocco and Israel Sign Diplomatic Visa Exemption Agreement

Moroccan and Israeli holders of diplomatic and official passports are exempt from entry visas to Israel and Morocco. This is the result of an agreement signed between the two countries.

"I am pleased to inform you that an agreement has been signed between the State of Israel and the Kingdom of Morocco regarding the exemption of visas for holders of diplomatic and official passports. The agreement came into force at the end of last month," announced Thursday David Govrin, Israel’s ambassador to Morocco on his Twitter account.

This agreement adds to the many cooperation and partnership agreements signed between the two countries, after the normalization of their diplomatic relations in December 2020. During his visit to Rabat in November last year, Benny Gantz, Israeli Minister of Defense, and his Moroccan counterpart Abdellatif Loudiyi had signed several agreements aimed at strengthening military cooperation between the two countries.
