Morocco

Morocco has no digital nomad visa, and no official portal lists one. The explainer on Morocco's missing nomad visa sets out the routes remote workers use instead.

• Visa-free stays: nationals of the countries on Morocco's exemption list can stay up to 90 days. A few listed nationalities get 30 or 60 days, and three need prior authorization (consulat.ma).
• eVisa: travelers who need a visa can use the eVisa if their nationality qualifies or they hold a residence permit or multiple-entry visa from one of the listed countries. It allows a single stay of up to 30 days for tourism or business (Accès Maroc).
• Consular visas: everyone else applies at a Moroccan embassy or consulate, which sets the fee.
• Residence card: for a stay beyond the short-stay limit, the ordinary carte de séjour applied for in Morocco. It has no remote-work category, and official terms for remote workers weren't found for this guide.

An eVisa holder can't apply for residence on that visa, so a long stay needs planning before arrival rather than after.

These figures come from Numbeo's crowd-sourced data, with dollar amounts at the Sept. 26, 2026 rate; treat them as rough guides.

• Casablanca: a one-bedroom apartment runs about MAD 5,656 a month in the center and MAD 3,483 outside it, and a single person's other costs about MAD 5,271. A central setup comes to about MAD 10,927, or $1,140 (Numbeo, June 2026).
• Tangier: a one-bedroom apartment runs about MAD 4,670 a month in the center and MAD 3,100 outside it, and a single person's other costs about MAD 5,561. A central setup comes to about MAD 10,231, or $1,070 (Numbeo, June 2026).
• Marrakech: a one-bedroom apartment runs about MAD 4,676 a month in the center and MAD 3,033 outside it, and a single person's other costs about MAD 4,849. A central setup comes to about MAD 9,526, or $990 (Numbeo, September 2026).
• Fez: about MAD 3,375 for a central one-bedroom and MAD 1,625 outside the center (Numbeo, June 2026); Numbeo gives no monthly cost estimate for Fez.

Casablanca is the most expensive of the four, mostly because of rent, and Fez the cheapest. Short furnished lets and riads rented by the night cost more than these long-term averages.

• Marrakech: the busiest base for remote workers, with coworking, cafes and quick access to the Atlas Mountains.
• Casablanca: the business capital and main flight hub, and the priciest city in Numbeo's data.
• Rabat: the capital, on the Atlantic coast and calmer than Casablanca.
• Tangier: a port city on the Strait of Gibraltar with ferry links to Spain.
• Taghazout: a small surf village north of Agadir with coworking and coliving for remote workers.

The Speedtest Global Index put Morocco's median fixed broadband speed at 57 Mbps and median mobile speed at 69.7 Mbps in August 2026. Mobile data is often as fast as home broadband, so a local SIM makes a useful backup for calls.

Coworking spaces are easiest to find in Casablanca and Marrakech, and the surf towns near Agadir, such as Taghazout, have coworking and coliving aimed at remote workers. Old medina houses can have thick walls and weak Wi-Fi, so it's worth asking hosts for a speed test before booking.

Under Article 23 of the General Tax Code, a person has their tax domicile in Morocco if they keep a permanent home there, have their center of economic interests there, or spend more than 183 days in Morocco, continuous or not, in any 365-day period (DGI).

That window rolls: it isn't a calendar year, so a stay that straddles Jan. 1 still counts as one period.

• Residents are taxed on their income and profits from Morocco and abroad.
• Non-residents are taxed only on Moroccan-source income.
• Tax treaties can give Morocco the right to tax some income of residents and non-residents alike.

There is no tax regime for remote workers. Anyone planning to stay past the day limit should check with the DGI how foreign earnings are treated and whether their home country has a tax treaty with Morocco.

• Money: the currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Cash is still widely used, especially in markets and small shops, and ATMs are common in cities.
• Arrival on an eVisa: carry a return ticket, proof of funds (an international bank card or cash worth more than EUR 70 a day) and hospitalization and repatriation insurance (eVisa conditions).
• SIM cards: prepaid SIMs are sold at operator shops in every city; a passport is needed to register a line.
• Health: travel or health insurance that covers Morocco is worth having for any stay.
• Safety: check the home government's travel advice before arrival and take the usual care with valuables in crowded medinas.
