Family Reunification Visa

Family reunification allows spouses and dependent children of Moroccan citizens or foreign residents with a valid carte de séjour to obtain residence permits. Spouses of Moroccan citizens can apply immediately after marriage registration. The sponsor must demonstrate adequate housing and sufficient financial means. Marriage to a Moroccan citizen requires specific procedures through an adoul (notary) and authorization from the local prosecutor for foreign nationals. Note: under Moroccan family law (Moudawana), female Moroccan citizens marrying non-Muslim foreign men requires the man to convert to Islam, while male Moroccan citizens can marry non-Muslim women. Family members receive carte de séjour permits renewable annually.
