If you are moving to Morocco, you first enter visa-free and have 90 days to apply for your residence permit at the local police authority (Bureau des Étrangers). To obtain the “Carte de Séjour” you need:
▸ Valid passport (min. 6 months validity)
▸ Biometric passport photos
▸ Recent police clearance certificate (max. 3 months old)
▸ Rental contract or proof of ownership
▸ Bank statement from a Moroccan account
▸ Medical certificate
▸ Forms from the local prefecture
Processing time usually takes 4 to 12 weeks. The first permit is normally valid for 1 year.
If you are planning on moving to Morocco long-term, we support you with the entire residence process – from documents to local registration.
