Obtention d'un permis de conduire maintenant obligatoire pour les résidents français au Maroc
by Michagadir
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
Voici quelques nouvelles pour ceux qui n'ont pas encore réagit au nouveau code de la route marocain.
Comme Raoulx l'a déjà mentionné, ce nouveau code implique quelques changements touchant les résidents français du Maroc. ( pour les autres européens - Suisses, Belges etc ... = je ne sais pas..)
Voici un papier récupéré ce matin au Consulat d'Agadir . ( photo )
Donc obligation :
- Soit de passer le permis marocain.
- Soit de procéder à l'échange du permis français pour un permis marocain.
Sachant que, dans ce dernier cas, il est possible de rouler en France ( Europe ) pendant une période de 6 mois et que, en cas d'un retour définitif en métropole, l'ancien permis français pourra être récupéré en échange du marocain.

Bonjour,
Cette disposition existait déja au siècle dernier ! Tout le monde s'en tamponnait et je n'ai jamais connu d'Europeen résident (à part ceux qui ont passé le permis au Maroc) en règle à ce sujet!
Seules les compagnies d'assurance qui en profitaient parfois pour se défausser en cas d'accident , semblaient connaitre la règle.

Bonjour
C est une regle international, lorqu´on habite un pays il avoir le permis de ce pays, cela ne veut pas dire passer le permis mais le changer. Pour ton cas par ex: si tu reside au Maroc il faut le changer. C logique: le flic ou le gendarme doit pouvoir le permis du pays. Ceci etait valable avant la moudaouana, juste les autorités ne s´occupe de details

c'est pas possible d'avoir 2 permis ? un français et un Marocain ? si je vais la ou j'ai récupérer mon permis marocain en 2002 il peuvent me le refaire ?

je suis dans le meme cas que toi 🤪
a mon avis: declarer la perte du permis marocain, ils sont pas sensés savoir qu'on l'a echangé en france
rouler au maroc avec le nouveau qu'on aura suite a la declaration ci dessus
et garder le F pour la france
qu'en dit tu? 😉

c'est ce que je pensais faire 😄 j'ai encore un petit sésame en plus "motus 😐 "
Visite le MAROC avec son 4x4 :D
Sésame ou pas, la règlementation est claire...
En ce qui te concerne, comme tu n'est pas résident, tu n'as pas le droit au permis marocain...
Tu écris : " j'ai changé mon permis Maroc en permis France " . Ce qui laisse supposer que tu étais résident lorsque tu l'a passé à Témara.....Si tu as échangé ton permis marocain contre un Français, tu l'a fait en France et non au Maroc donc tu n'as PLUS de permis marocain.Les préfectures françaises préviennent l'administration marocaine de l'échange.
Si tu t'amuses à déclarer, dans l'hypothèse d'un retour au Maroc, une fausse " perte " de ton permis
" marocain ", dis toi bien que les autorités Marocaines savent que tu l'a rendu en France contre un permis français...
a mon avis: declarer la perte du permis marocain, ils sont pas sensés savoir qu'on l'a echangé en france
quand on echange un permis, on demande l'info pour confirmer l'echange donc les 2 pays sont au courant de l'échange.
Donc il faut l'échanger dans le pays de residence et au final on n'a qu'un seul permis. Pour en avoir 2 il aurait fallu ne pas l'échanger mais d'obtenir un nouveau permis.

Tout a fait exact...
Lorsque vous demandez de changer votre permis français contre un marocain, il faut fournir la photocopie de votre permis au Consulat de France qui se charge de demander à la préfecture d'émission du dit permis un certificat d'authenticité..
C'est muni de ce certificat que les autorités Marocaines vous établissent un permis marocain...
Donc côté français ou marocain, tout le monde est au courant de l'échange...
( pour un retour en France et un échange de permis marocain contre un français, c'est encore les 2 administrations qui gèrent l'affaire..)
Il parait donc impossible de déclarer " perdu " un permis que vous n'aviez plus....
La seule possibilité d'avoir les 2 permis est de passer l'examen marocain tout en gardant le Français...
( je parle bien sûr pour les RESIDENTS ...)
tu connais même pas mon sésame !! après qu'il ai prévenu la préfecture je verrais bien je vais demander , j'ai gardé la photocopie du permis marocain ;
Visite le MAROC avec son 4x4 :D
Les sésames n'existent pas mais les textes oui...
Une photocopie n'étant pas légale , elle n'est d'aucune utilité...
Et ton permis marocain..il est Où ???? Tu vas le déclarer " perdu " à QUI ????
" ...je verrais bien je vais demander ..." Effectivement, demandes et tu verras !!!

Eh bien ...plus de problème alors !!!!
C'est là le merveilleux paradoxe de la jeunesse; elle sait déjà tout ce qu'elle n'a pas encore appris...
De toute façon, n'étant pas résident, je ne vois pas en quoi cela te concerne.

heu... petite interrogation tout de même: avec un permis international obtenu auprès de ma préfecture en france, je vais quand même devoir échanger mon permis quand j'aurais ma carte de résident ici au maroc?
j'ai juste qq problèmes de "communication" avec le poste de police s'occupant de ma paperasse, je les évite autant que possible!
Merci de votre réponse

* *** un permis international obtenu auprès de ma préfecture en france **** (France ! 🙂)
un permis international , seul, n'a aucune valeur, ce n'est qu'une traduction officielle de permis rose , qui doit etre présenté à chaque requète..... Pour faire simple, et pour éviter les problèmes de "communcation" comme tu dis , il vaut mieux ne pas en faire mention à la police.

Le permis international n'existe que pour circuler dans des pays qui ne reconnaissent pas le permis français.
Ce qui n'est pas le cas du Maroc. Donc totalement inutile ici.
De plus sa validité ne peut excéder 3 ans.
Un résident français au Maroc doit donc :
- Soit passer le permis de conduire marocain s'il désire garder son permis français.
- Soit procéder à l'échange de son permis français contre un permis marocain
( celui-ci pouvant être utilisé pendant 6 mois sur tous les territoires de l'U.E.)
Dans tous les cas, au cours d'un contrôle de résidents par des autorités marocaines, le seul permis reconnu est le marocain.

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m looking for real first-hand experiences from adults who’ve done a language stay in Canada, specifically in Vancouver or Toronto.
There are so many different schools and reviews that are both negative and positive (how can you tell if they’re genuine?!) that I’d rather hear from real people.
I’m looking for fun courses where you really make progress in speaking and comprehension. + Homestay accommodation: good or bad idea?
I’m 35—this would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me since I’ve dreamed about it since I was 17! I really don’t want to mess this up, especially given how much it costs!

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant.

Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on!

I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
