I didn鈥檛 mean Sarra and you personally. I meant more in general, because it happens that foreigners believe the same rules apply to all foreigners, but that鈥檚 not the case. Sorry for the confusion. 馃檹 Read More

@Sarra65 It depends on where the foreign person is from. Morocco does not expect the same documents from every foreigner. There are differences. For example, Spain, America, and Germany have different regulations. Morocco also expects different ... Read More

@mcglen262 That's correct. In my case it was the German embassy and then again another office in the court in Morocco. But it always depends on which country you`re coming from. The German embassy was a great help to all my questions. Read More

@Kayklepper638 That girl doesn't seem to be very religious, so she will probably not care if an Imam tries to talk to them to fix things. She looks more like one of those typical Marrakech gold diggers looking for a passport or money or something. ... Read More

@muzzichuzzi This is how it has worked for the past two years with applications for people not married to a Moroccan citizen:You have to open a convertible bank account in Morocco and transfer 10,000鈧� (8,560拢) to that account as proof ... Read More
Is 2 months employment enough for marriage in Morocco? by Abdullah Bin Sohail
My employment letter is for a temporary position and I have only been employed in it for about 2 and a half months is that enough or would they not accept that? I can show payslips for 3 months however as I had a different placement before this
@mishiii I needed a calculation of my business income to show it at my embassy because they had to generate a letter proving my ability to marry in Morocco. For German citizens, the Moroccan court asked for this. Requirements might differ from ... Read More

Yes, that's the thing. Locals usually earn 300-400鈧� per month, but that doesn't allow them to live alone because normal housing costs a lot. Most of them live together with a spouse or other family members to share the costs. For officials, ... Read More

@rkotcher Compared to Western property prices, it鈥檚 still okay to buy something here. But the thing people struggle with here is always finding good renovation companies. That鈥檚 where people usually get cheated and taken advantage of.All ... Read More

@LailaDe To be honest, I would consider the following before moving to Morocco, since life is not always easy here:- Is there enough monthly income to secure your life in Morocco, like a minimum of 鈧�1200鈧� to pay rent and live a normal ... Read More

@SalehUS Everything you have in Morocco can be divided in case of a divorce. But this also depends on how long you were married, who filed for divorce, why a divorce is happening, and also if there are kids. The rights of women are strongly ... Read More

@SalehUSNo, there is. Many wealthy families here in Morocco make additional notary contracts to protect their belongings. It can be very bad for the person with more wealth if they have to share it with someone who just married them for that. Read More

@SalehUSThey want to make sure that you鈥檙e a real couple and not just being paid by her to get a green card in the States. It鈥檚 normal. But in your case, it will look like fraud anyway because you have nothing, so she can't come there. ... Read More

That's not normal. She might be hiding something, like the fact that she got married, or maybe her family didn't approve of her marriage. It could be anything from a girl escaping her family's lack of understanding to marry the person she wants, to ... Read More

@Yassim M Yes, I had to, but more to just show what I'm doing. In Morocco, it's the husband's responsibility to provide for a living. However, even then, they can't stop you from getting married if both partners have no income. Read More

That shouldn't be a problem. What's important is that you can show you can take care of yourself and your wife. I don't know which country you live in, but embassies usually have to confirm to the court that they have no doubts about your ability to ... Read More
Moroccan fianc茅 going to cafe by Yassim M
Hi all, is it normal for Moroccan men to go every day to cafe? Mi sisters fianc茅 goes on a daily basis and she is a little bit worried about that. Maybe is it a cultural thing or is not normal at all?
First, it depends on the coffee shop. Some are filled with guys who spend all day drinking coffee, gossiping with friends, and glued to their phones. If your friend's boyfriend hangs out in a place like that, I can see why she's concerned鈥攊t ... Read More

No need to hire a lawyer; most are not much better here, and certainly not for 500鈧�. The risk is high, and you might end up losing that amount as well. You can easily corner those vendors by pointing out that they haven't stated any privacy ... Read More
