Entry, visas & border admin

Can you work remotely from Morocco on a tourist visa?

In practice, many digital nomads do work remotely from Morocco during their 90-day visa-free stay, and the authorities generally tolerate remote work for a foreign employer or your own clients, but it exists in a legal grey area rather than being an official right. There’s no dedicated digital-nomad visa, so you’re simply present as a tourist.

The key distinctions are that you shouldn’t take local employment or earn from Moroccan clients on a tourist entry, and you’re still limited to the 90-day stay. Coworking spaces in Marrakech, Essaouira, Taghazout and elsewhere cater to a thriving remote-work scene.

For a longer or more formal set-up, you’d need to look into residence options. For a few weeks or months of remote work within the 90 days, most nomads proceed without issue, keeping their income foreign-sourced.
