Temporary admission of a vehicle and residency

Hello, are there any expats who came to Morocco with their car registered abroad, on the Temporary admission regime, then applied for residency during their stay? Have you been able to re-introduce the same car after that first period in respect of the maximum time allowed ? I am wondering if the change in the status has an effect as by law, it is stated that Moroccan citizen living abroad and foreign tourists having their residency abroad benefit from temporary admission of their cars.


Thank you

``Hi unfortunate, you won't be able to keep the car more than 6 months in any 12 month period in morocco without paying the import and taxes. Unless your a diplomat or a person working for embassy of such then special licence plate is given where you don't pay any taxes and can keep the car in Morocco as long as you have the appropriate permit.


For students or regular workers the rules are 6 months in any given 12 month period. So it would mean you will have to take the care back out and not bring it back for a further 6 months before you can legally bring it back in under the same process.``
