With the exception of foreign currency credited to a convertible dirham account, Moroccans living abroad (MREs) may repurchase the amount of foreign currency repatriated and sold on the foreign exchange market over the last twelve months, up to a limit of 100,000 dirhams. This transaction may be carried out at banks, upon presentation of the import declaration completed on entry into the country, as well as the original documents in the applicant’s name justifying the repatriation of the foreign currency (foreign exchange slips, foreign currency purchase forms for customers, etc.). In the event of a customs inspection, proof of cash currency exports can be provided by presenting the relevant exchange slips.

With regard to the export of dirhams, the permitted amount is limited to 2,000 dhs. Any amount exceeding this authorised limit constitutes a foreign exchange offence (penalties may apply in accordance with the regulations in force).
