About this Visa

This visa lets you move to Morocco to live with your family member who already lives there. Your family member can be a Moroccan citizen or someone who has legal permission to live in Morocco long-term. You can bring your spouse and minor children with you. Each family member needs to apply separately, but they follow the same process. This is a long-term visa for staying in Morocco permanently, not a short visit. After you arrive, you must apply for a residence card to live there legally.
