Visitor Resident Card means of subsistance requirement

chakib422123

Hi All,

We planned with my wife to settle a bit in morroco this year to try life here. I am already in morroco Tangier and my wife joins in 3 months. So I originally wanted to stay in Tangier, I went to the foreigners office and for the Visitor Resident Card if I don't own a property I need to show the equivalent of 30.000 euro on a bank account here. No foreign bank account statement accepted.

That's and absured amount. We can easily prove our means, I'm a freelance and my wife works in finance so we can easily send a monthly salary to a morrocan bank account or even show our European bank account statements.

I need to decide if I move to Marrakesh which our next preferred city. Can any of the °µÍø½ûÇøs who receny asked for Visitor Resident Card tell me what kind of proof is needed as mean of subsistence ? Is a bank statement showing monthly revenue enough or some amount to show that's reasonable ?


Thanks in advance

Hi, There

If you create a Limited company, with only showing income coming in, in the three months before you submit your application for a residence permit, it should be fine. Of course, there are other documents, such as the rental agreement, the CRB check (casier judiciaire - of your country of origin), a doctor's certificate, birth certificate (less than 3 months old), etc.... it's a tiring process (they will always find the one document that you don't have), but it's feasible.

Good luck and don't give up :)

I showed bank statements, but I also had to show proof of where the money comes from.  I have pensions so I has to show proof that they pay me monthly.

Hi Amine,

Thanks for the suggestion it was something I was planning originally but was not sure if it was a viable path. I will keep this solution as last resort since it's a lot of papers and efforts. But I feel this would be a solid way to do it if nothing else works. I already saw offers online for helping start the business and ask the resident card at the same time.

Thanks for the tip, did you show foreign bank statements or local ?  And which city was it ?
