What Morocco Law 02-03 of 2003 - Entry and Stay of Foreigners and Irregular Emigration Framework requires
Morocco's Law No. 02-03 of 11 November 2003 regarding entry and stay of foreigners in Morocco and irregular emigration and immigration (Dahir No. 1-03-196) governs foreign national entry, residence, and removal. Implemented by the Direction de la Migration et de la Surveillance des Frontieres (DMSF) under the Ministry of Interior. Morocco maintains an open visa-on-arrival or visa-free policy for nationals of 67+ countries for up to 90 days. Residents require a Titre de Sejour (residence card) for stays beyond 90 days, renewed annually or issued as long-stay (10-year) for qualifying residents. Morocco launched an Exceptional Regularisation Campaign in 2013-2014 (55,000 migrants regularised) and a second campaign in 2016-2017 (50,000 regularised) as part of its 2013 National Immigration and Asylum Policy, endorsed by King Mohammed VI. The work authorisation system requires prior approval from the Agence Nationale de Promotion de l'Emploi et des Competences (ANAPEC) through a labour market test. Morocco has signed a Mobility Partnership with the EU (2013), governing legal migration channels and readmission. The Association Agreement with the EU facilitates movement of services and persons. Moroccan law criminalises facilitation of irregular migration under Arts. 51-52.
