Malaysia visa Morocco: visa exemption
I. Exemption from the visa requirement
Moroccan citizens needed to apply for Malaysia visa Morocco.
However, in 2017, Morocco and Malaysia signed a partial agreement to remove visa requirements for official and tourist visits.
Moroccan citizens can stay in Malaysia for a period equivalent to 90 days.
They can therefore enter Malaysia, like the French, without any worries.
They will receive a stamp as a tourist visa upon entry and exit.
II. Transportation to Malaysia
Moroccan tourists can travel to Malaysia from any Moroccan international airport.
Several airlines serve both destinations. Among these airlines are: Royal Air Maroc, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, Oman Air and Turkish Airlines etc… The flight time between the two destinations is generally estimated between 16 and 19 hours.
Every year, about 3000 people fly on both sides.
It is estimated that this number will increase over the next few years.
III. Moroccan passport and visa extension
The Moroccan passport allows travel to 57 destinations without a visa or with a visa on arrival. In 2020, it was ranked 57th best passport in the world. Due to the pandemic, Moroccan travelers have no way to extend their stay beyond 90 days. The only option is to apply for a new visa. Note that Moroccan travelers cannot apply for a visa online. The application must be made at the Malaysian Embassy in Morocco.
The government of Malaysia has implemented this precaution to ensure that all tourists allowed to enter the country have the appropriate requirements. Keep in mind that Malaysia is one of the best tourist destinations in Asia. Regarding the visa extension application, the Malaysian government may ask Moroccan tourists to submit several supporting documents. One of these supporting documents is the health declaration form. This is a supporting document that must be obtained by Moroccan tourists in their home country before traveling to Malaysia. The health declaration form determines the eligibility of the Moroccan tourist to travel to Malaysia.

Some personal information
So far, we still haven’t found any real Moroccan restaurants in Kuala Lumpur.
At the end of 2022, we still haven’t found any Moroccan restaurants, after 2 years of expatriation.
We tried a few restaurants calling themselves “Moroccan”, but the tagine was more of a tagine revisited and the couscous, a couscous… revisited 🙂
To all Moroccan friends, do not hesitate to contact us if you want to have a glass of tea in Kuala Lumpur!
A big salam to Morocco, and in particular, to Oujda and Berkane ❤️
