Moving back to Morocco as a family

It is not one person moving back, it is a family: the questions to ask, in the right order, to turn it into a clear plan.

What form of return?

Permanent, gradual, on trial or dual residence: choosing the form of the return changes everything else.

Who is involved?

The parent who works, the one who handles school and health, the children depending on their age: everyone must find their place in the project.

Where to settle?

Compare cities according to what matters to your family: school, housing, health, transport.

Your questions about moving back

Where to start when preparing a return to Morocco?

With the form of the return and its conditions: who goes, when, permanently or gradually, and what would make the project acceptable for everyone. Feasibility (income, school, housing, health) comes next, before comparing cities.

How to choose a city in Morocco?

By weighing what really matters to the household: schools suited to the children, housing prices, work, access to healthcare, transport and closeness to family. Comparing two or three cities with a costed budget avoids deciding on a single holiday impression.

Should I rent or buy when I arrive?

Many families rent for a few months first to test the neighbourhood, the school run and the pace of life, then buy once settled. Prices vary widely from one neighbourhood to another: it is better to compare neighbourhood by neighbourhood than at the scale of a city.

How long does it take to prepare a return?

It depends on the household, but schooling often sets the timetable: a move is usually prepared for the start of a school year, with school enrolment several months ahead. The 30- and 90-day reviews after arrival are part of the return.
