Morocco Digital Nomad Visa (Not Available)

Status: Morocco has no digital nomad visa; remote workers use visa-free entry, the eVisa or an ordinary residence card (carte de séjour).

No Moroccan government portal lists a digital nomad or remote-work visa, and there is no nomad income threshold or fee. Remote workers use the ordinary routes:

• Visa-free entry: up to 90 days for nationals of the countries on Morocco's exemption list, with shorter stays or prior authorization for a few of them (consulat.ma).
• eVisa: a single-entry visa for tourism or business, open only to eligible nationalities, for a stay of up to 30 days (eVisa conditions).
• Consular visa: for nationals who need a visa and can't use the eVisa, issued by a Moroccan embassy or consulate.
• Residence card: for longer stays, an ordinary carte de séjour applied for in Morocco. There is no remote-work category within it.

The Morocco guide covers costs, cities and taxes for a long stay.

Visa-free entry is for nationals of the countries on the exemption list. Most get up to 90 days; the list gives 30 days to nationals of the Maldives and Hong Kong and 60 days to those of the Dominican Republic, and nationals of Mali, Congo (Brazzaville) and Guinea need prior authorization (consulat.ma).

The eVisa is open to three groups of travelers who otherwise need a visa (eVisa conditions):

• Category A: nationals of countries on a list set by the Moroccan authorities.
• Category B: residents of the EU, the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Norway, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates or Switzerland, with a residence permit valid at least 180 days and a passport valid at least 90 days.
• Category C: holders of a multiple-entry visa valid at least 90 days from the Schengen area, the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Norway or New Zealand.

Only ordinary passports qualify. An eVisa holder can't apply for residence in Morocco on that visa.

eVisa documents (eVisa conditions):

• A color ID photo, 35 x 45 mm, taken within the last six months to ICAO standards.
• A clear color copy of a valid ordinary passport.
• Category B: a copy of the residence permit, front and back. Category C: a copy of the multiple-entry visa.
• Business trips: a document showing the purpose, such as a recommendation from a professional chamber.

At the border, eVisa holders may be asked for a return ticket, proof of funds (an international bank card or cash worth more than EUR 70 for each day of the stay) and hospitalization and medical repatriation insurance for the whole stay.

Residence card: no official page reached for this update lists the documents or income a remote worker needs. Check with the Moroccan authorities before planning a long stay on this route.

• Digital nomad fee: none, because the visa doesn't exist.
• Visa-free entry: no visa fee.
• eVisa: the fee is shown and paid during the online application; the official conditions don't state it, and it isn't refunded once paid.
• Consular visa and residence card: the consulate or the Moroccan authorities set the fee; check with them before applying.

Travel and health insurance, translations and any help with a residence application come on top.

1. Check eligibility. Travelers on the exemption list apply for nothing before a short stay.
2. Apply online. Online on the Accès Maroc portal (acces-maroc.ma), for eligible nationalities only. Enter the passport details exactly as printed and attach the documents.
3. Validate and pay. A validated and paid application can't be canceled or refunded.
4. Wait for the decision. The standard eVisa takes 72 hours and the express eVisa 24 hours, counted in Moroccan working days, once the file is complete.

Steps follow the official eVisa conditions. Consular visas and residence cards follow separate procedures at the consulate or in Morocco.

• Visa-free: up to 90 days for most nationals on the exemption list.
• eVisa: a single stay of up to 30 days, on a visa valid up to 180 days from issue. Stays from several eVisas can't be combined: the holder must leave when the first stay ends before starting a new one.
• Residence card: its length and renewal terms weren't confirmed on an official page for this update.

Morocco has no tax regime for remote workers. Under Article 23 of the General Tax Code, a person is tax domiciled in Morocco with a permanent home there, with their center of economic interests there, or after more than 183 days in Morocco, continuous or not, in any 365-day period (DGI). The window rolls; it isn't a calendar year.

Residents are taxed on income from Morocco and abroad; non-residents only on Moroccan-source income. The Morocco guide covers the basics.
