Hong Kong’s MREs: Forgotten by Moroccan Authorities?

Moroccans living in Hong Kong are experiencing enormous difficulties in renewing their national identity cards and are appealing to the Moroccan embassy in China.

Many Moroccans residing in Hong Kong are experiencing enormous administrative difficulties. In a statement to HespressLhoussaine, one of them, complained about the “difficulties in renewing the national identity card.” According to his explanations, renewing his Moroccan identity card involves going to China, “which generates high costs exceeding 5,000 Moroccan dirhams, divided between the visa application to enter Beijing, the plane ticket, as well as accommodation and food costs.” “The round-trip plane ticket from Hong Kong to China costs 4,000 dirhams, and you must first apply for a visa that can reach 900 dirhams, then the accommodation and food costs to renew the national card, exceeding a thousand dirhams. (…) these financial resources alone are enough to go to Morocco,” he explains.
