Morocco Reopening Borders for Travelers on Feb. 7

Officials in Morocco have confirmed a ban on international flights will be lifted on February 7th. The decision follows “the evolution of the epidemiological situation in the kingdom,” a statement said, adding that entry requirements for visitors would be announced at a later date.

All flights into the country were initially halted in late November as the first reports of the Omicron variant of Covid-19 spread around the world. Flights from the UK had been suspended in October.

A mechanism had been in place for Moroccan citizens to travel home – but that was ended in December.

The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) travel advice for Morocco said: “When flights resume you will need to provide proof that you have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, with the second dose administered at least two weeks prior to travel, and a negative PCR test result before boarding your flight or ferry to Morocco.
