Myself and my husband are looking at moving abroad and we quite like the idea of living in Morocco. We are both British and would appreciate any advice from expats living in Morocco.

Many Thanks

Sorry to post this topic here but I'm trying to spread the word about missing British 4yr old, Madeleine Mccann, who was taken from her bed while vacationing in south Portugal. She was spotted in Marrakech on May 9. I don't think much of this news is reaching Morocco so please spread the word and keep an eye out for her.

If there are better sites to reach UK or US ex-patriots on this subject please let me know. thanks.

As-salaam: Finishing Graduate School in 2009 and seriously thinking about living in Morocco for 6 months to a year. I would like to work part time in a hospice and have an apartment that is centrally located in Morocco, so I could travel and see the whole country. I am taking an immersion Arabic program this Summer.

What do I need to do for this transition? I am 61 years old, but don't look or act it. Need to know the price of apartments, need to be near markets, etc.

What information can you give me.

Welcome to a new life in Morocco

I am a British citizen living in Mekne Morocco

I would be more than happy to assist you in all aspects of settling in the country and avoiding the pit falls.

I can guide you from the initial procedures of obtaining reseidency permits to starting up a business, what you need, what you need to avoid and what are the pit falls.

I speak French and Arabic fluently and registered at the British Embassy in Rabat.

Feel free to contact me. Leslie

To Crispin

You are entitled to enter your personal effects and furniture without any customs duties, you would need o have obtained your residency permit before hand with chenge of residence stamped in the country where you were living and legalised at the Moroccan embassy.

For more information about avoiding the pitfalls and expense as well as any motor vehicle you wish to bring in contact me on the above e-mail or telphone office 035 468810 or mobile 018 559060.

To Crispin Sharp

You are entitled to bring your motor vehicle for a period of 6 month, make sure you have insurance to cover morocco or you can buy insurance at the entry point.

The duties are high and to obtain an accurate assement you need to provide the customs a photo copy of your registration log book.

I would recommend that you enter morocco vis Ceuta where the crossing is cheaper and you fill up your tank at lower cost.

Unless you have a power of attorney legalised by the Moroccan consulate ensure that the registration documents are in your name.

If you are driving through Spain be careful where to park or sleep as gangs are operating and targetting foreign vehicles.

I was gassed in the night in my caravan and had a large sum stolen.

Feel free to contact me at anytime for any other assistance.

Tel office 00212 (0)35 468810 mobile 00212(0)18 559060.
