Hi ,
I am a british national and I'm married to a Moroccan woman.
We're looking to purchase our first property in Morocco and I've been told conflicting information so was wondering if anyone here can point me in the right direction.
I've been told that I need Moroccan Residency to purchase the apartment and the fact that I am married to a Moroccan should make this easier. What are the requirements for this? I'm getting conflicting information saying that I'll only be given residency if I actually move there full time. This isn't something I'm planning on doing and this is more of a holiday home for now as I reside in the UK and was born in the UK.
Also, I've been told that my wife has to show that she has a job/income in Morocco which doesn't' make sense as she depends on my income from the UK. Do I have to show my UK income etc?
I'd like a breakdown of what I need for residency if anyone else has already done it here. Would be massively appreciated.
I've also been told that I DONT need any residency to purchase the property and was told it would be on my wife's name and then after 5 years I could transfer it to mine but is this true?
