Spain to Reopen Borders for Moroccan and EU Travelers on July 1

Closed for nearly three months due to the covid-19 pandemic, Spain’s airspace is finally opening up to travelers, including Moroccans.

According to the Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, only Portugal has requested that this date be postponed to July 1st. According to him, as of June 21, the quarantine requirement for travelers from Schengen area countries will disappear.

As for the borders with third countries listed on a list agreed at the European level, including Morocco, they will be gradually opened from July 1st, the Prime Minister reassured during a press conference. Three requirements will be taken into account during this gradual reopening. The first concerns the epidemiological situation, which must be similar or better than that of the European Union.

Morocco, which has launched a gradual deconfinement in recent days, is showing an epidemiological situation much better than that of Europe. To date, it has 7,828 recoveries, 8,885 new infections and 212 covid-19 deaths. As for the other requirements concerning the health conditions to be met and the reciprocity in the reception of passengers, Morocco is preparing to open its airspace as of July 10th. In other words, Moroccans will be able to travel freely as soon as the Schengen area opens.
