Limits of the record
  • Searched Law 02-03 Art. 13, Decree 2-09-607 Art. 15, Order 501-12 and the GADEM discretionary-issuance page for an income or savings amount for the visitor card and for family effects; only the obligation to live on one's own resources is stated, with no figure.

Can the holder work locally, run a business or perform other economic activity? What is the family position?

Under Article 13 of Law 02-03 and Article 15 of its implementing decree, the visitor card requires the holder to prove they can live on their own resources and to undertake not to exercise in Morocco any professional activity subject to authorisation; local employment of that kind is therefore excluded. The family position is not stated for this card.

  • The family position (whether dependants can accompany or obtain status) is not stated for the visitor card; family reunification is a separate procedure.

    ART. 15. - En vue d'obtenir la carte d'immatriculation portant la mention « visiteur », conformément aux termes du 1er alinéa de l'article 13 de la loi n° 02-03 précitée, l'étranger doit disposer d'un visa d'entrée au Maroc portant la mention « visiteur », lorsque sa nationalité est soumise à cette formalité, à condition d'apporter la preuve qu'il peut vivre de ses seules ressources et de prendre l'engagement de n'exercer aucune activité professionnelle soumise à autorisation.

How long is the status granted, what is required for renewal, what physical-presence obligations matter, and what longer-term residence direction exists?

A registration card authorises stay for 1 to 10 years maximum, renewable for the same period according to the reasons given. A registration card of a foreigner who has left Morocco for more than six months is considered lapsed. A foreigner with at least 4 years of uninterrupted residence in conformity with the laws may obtain a residence card, the decision taking into account notably the means of existence and facts supporting an intention to settle durably.
