🇲🇦 Morocco

Business/Investor Visa

Morocco actively encourages foreign investment through streamlined company formation and special economic zones. Foreign nationals can establish a company (SARL, SA, or branch office) with no minimum capital requirement for SARL formation (practical minimum ~10,000 MAD/$1,000). After registering with the Registre de Commerce and obtaining a tax ID, business owners can apply for a carte de séjour. The Casablanca Finance City (CFC) offers significant incentives: 0% corporate tax for the first 5 years, then 8.75%, plus a flat 20% personal income tax rate for employees. The Tangier Free Zone provides similar benefits for manufacturing and logistics. Morocco's strategic location as a gateway between Europe and Africa makes it attractive for international business.
