The Qatari Embassy in Rabat has no information about dropping Moroccan visa requirement

A source from the Qatari Embassy in Rabat confirmed to Yabiladi today that «it does not have any information regarding dropping visa requirements for Moroccan citizens».

For his part, Abdul Samad Nasser, a Moroccan journalist working for the Qatari TV channel Al Jazeera, tweeted saying that offering visa-free entrance to Moroccans was announced mainly by the Moroccan News Agency. He also added that : «However, a source from the Interior Ministry told me that the decision has not been put forward yet and that it is currently being examined and will be announced soon».

MAP news agency claimed earlier this week quoting a statement issued by the Moroccan House of Representatives that the Qatari Interior Minister, Abdullah bin Nasse bin Khalifa Al Thani, said during a meeting held on Tuesday with two Moroccan senior officials that the Kingdom’s citizens will freely enter the Qatari soil without visa requirements.  No official statement has been released by the Qatari authorities to confirm or deny the information.
