CURRENCIES, EXCHANGE RATES AND BANK ACCOUNTS

Allowance for personal travel or medical treatment abroad (MREs on a temporary stay)

Moroccans living abroad (MREs) may be eligible for a foreign currency allowance for personal travel (tourism, religious purposes, etc.) from Morocco, amounting to 100,000 dirhams per calendar year. This amount may be increased by a supplement equivalent to 30 per cent of the income tax paid in Morocco during the previous year, subject to a total limit of 300,000 dirhams. For pensioners, this supplement may be granted on the basis of proof of payment of income tax for the year in which they retired.

In the specific case of medical treatment abroad (medical procedures, medical transport, purchase of medicines, orthopaedic equipment, costs of medical evacuation or repatriation of remains, etc.), the amount of the grant corresponds to that shown on the supporting invoices (or payment receipts, in the case of a claim for reimbursement).
