I'm thinking of moving to Morocco. I've looked at the various options and see opportunities for professional renewal in a pleasant living environment. To do this, I need to prepare well. Here are the key steps...
To me, moving to Morocco isn't just an emotional decision. This major project is based on highly rational factors. Morocco is a country in constant movement. The quality of life is constantly improving, and there's no shortage of opportunities to take part in the development of a fast-growing country.
Making the most of one's experience abroad to contribute to Morocco's development dynamic is the ambition of many Moroccans around the world, and of many foreigners in love with the Kingdom.
However, before taking the plunge, I need to prospect for job offers and current opportunities. To minimize the length of time I'll be spending temporarily with family members or in a hotel, I'll need to look for accommodation before arriving in Morocco (buying, renting...). I'm also thinking about my children's schooling, and looking into schools that will ensure continuity with their initial education (trilingual private schools, foreign mission schools, etc.). The social security system in my current country of residence may offer the possibility of transferring rights to Morocco. I need to find out more about this. In any case, I'll still need to take out health insurance when I arrive in the Kingdom. If I want to move with my furniture, I'll also need to prepare it carefully.
Moroccans living abroad may freely introduce foreign currency in the form customs allowances of banknotes, traveler’s checks, bank or postal cheques, letters of credit, payment or credit cards and any other means of payment denominated in foreign currency, without any limit on the amount.
As far as vehicles are concerned, Moroccans living abroad benefit from a 25% allowance on the basis of the vehicle's new value when clearing customs for their vehicle, which must be no more than three years old.
It should also be noted that Moroccans living abroad are entitled to customs allowances for their personal belongings (furniture, computer equipment, bicycles, kitchenware... anything that belongs to us and will not be used for commercial purposes), up to a maximum of one removal per family. However, this exemption can only be granted if the import of the furniture and the change of residence are simultaneous. However, in the event of a two-period move, the split may be authorized provided that all the household effects are included on the inventory list submitted at the time of the first import operation. Also, the two operations must be carried out by the same customs office within six months of the date of the change of residence certificate issued by the consular services.
