Kids leaving Morocco without father by caroline_moussaoui
I'm a Brit living in Morocco with my husband. Expecting our first baby but I plan to give birth in England. I hear that father's permission must be sought before I can take our child back to England for holidays in future. There will be times when ...
Hi Caroline. This is an old post but since the information might be useful in any case, just to add that like Deana, I was often in this position but a phone call to my ex-husband sufficed. Things might indeed be tighter now. I don't think ... Read More

Well, I'm sorry to sound unimpressed but even I with my fairly basic Arabic can understand what's been written here in Arabic. And who's to say laduqesa (whom I had thought was female, but now I notice the icon!) is not rushing between ... Read More

Well, all I can say is that it went through my cynical European mind to wonder whether you were not one of our dear Britishers dressed up as Moroccan.... :) believe me, people never write an acquired language without mistakes, however well they ... Read More

Moxtar, your English is AMAZINGLY good for a foreigner, if I may say! Absolutely no mistakes, idiomatic, colloquial - I've never known a non-native speaker have such flawless command of the language... where did you learn, I wonder?? Read More

Oh dear, please add a pinch of salt to what these doom and gloomers are saying to you :) Shame nobody else has replied... There is of course some truth in what they are saying, and some Moroccans are out to exploit naive foreigners. Lying is also ... Read More
Bank account & residency questions by caroline_moussaoui
Anyone know how to open a bank account in Morocco? How can I apply for Moroccan residency? I'm married to a Moroccan and I have British nationality. In the past I just left Morocco every 3 months but would now prefer to apply for official residency. ...
I seem to remember, when I think about it, that I was advised to do it all through my husband's proof of income and employment because it would be much easier and quicker that way. Given my subsequent experience, that turned out to be right. I ... Read More

Apologies. I have no desire to continue the conversation, either in private or public :) I did just want to make the point that the exploitation of foreigners by Moroccans is more nuanced than some people are saying and also, more importantly (to ... Read More

Oh by the way, you said they are devout Muslims, yet allow their son to marry a non-Muslim woman? No religious Muslim family would allow such a thing to happen. And before you tell me you reverted, they still wouldn't allow it. So my judgement ... Read More

Are you British? If so, you put me to shame. This is so sad and so forlorn a view of people whom you simply do not know. My in laws, or ex laws, are devout Muslims whose lives are bound by daily rituals of prayer and devotion. I have never been ... Read More

If he has received his Indefinite Leave to Remain/Citizenship & was not deported, then his family asking him to pay back is nothing. The purpose of marrying a British or any Western citizen is obvious. Once that goal is achieved, paying back ... Read More

Yet they allowed him to exploit you... As if they didn't know about his nature(!) They are called MorocCON for a reason.No, actually. The exploitation (I won't go into it) took place when we living in the UK together - they knew nothing ... Read More
