Emigrating to Morocco: An overview of the political system
Namibia is a democratic nation with a legislature, executive and judiciary. In accordance with the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence of March 1990, Namibia's political system is semi-presidential. The constitution guarantees fundamental human rights and freedoms, including freedom of thought, speech, press, religion and assembly. It ensures equality between men and women and prohibits any form of inhumane treatment based on skin color, gender or other personal characteristics. It also excludes the death penalty and any form of slavery. With this democratic-liberal constitution, Namibia is oriented towards Western democracies and is considered exemplary within Africa. It is also noteworthy that Namibia's constitution was one of the first in the world to declare environmental protection a priority state objective, represented by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.

An der südlichen Atlantikküste, zum Beispiel in Agadir, erreichen die Temperaturen selbst im Winter über 20°C. Im Landesinneren herrscht kontinentales Klima. Heiß und trocken wird es südlich des Atlasgebirges, wo die Nähe zur Sahara deutlich spürbar ist.

Emigrating to Morocco: An overview of the economic situation and quality of life
In 2023, Morocco's gross domestic product per capita amounted to around 3,888.58 US dollars. The Gini coefficient of wealth describes the distribution of wealth. The indicator is an established, internationally comparable measure of wealth inequality. It is measured on a scale from zero to one. The higher the value, the greater the inequality. The Gini coefficient in Morocco is expected to be 0.39 in 2024 (source: Statista).
The low cost of living makes it possible to live well on comparatively little money in Morocco. A large apartment often costs only a sixth of the price in Germany, and a good meal in a restaurant costs around 5 euros. Even though visits to the doctor are not expensive, it is worth taking out private health insurance to cover major treatment in an emergency.

Skiing between the Atlantic and the Sahara
Morocco is known for its oriental culture, desert landscapes and beautiful beaches - but also for winter sports? From Marrakech, it's only 80 kilometers south and you're already immersed in Morocco's winter wonderland. Lonely, snow-covered mountain villages will make you wonder whether you are still in Africa at all. It is hardly known, but the High Atlas is a true paradise for skiers. The center for winter sports enthusiasts is located on Djebel Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa at 4167 meters. Oukaimeden is the largest ski resort, with 23 kilometers of slopes and ten lifts. It also offers a curious sight: While the southern side is almost always free of snow, there is usually plenty of white splendor on the northern slopes. And where else in the world can you look directly onto the desert from the slopes?

FAQs for emigrating to Morocco
Where can I find relevant information about my country of entry and the entry regulations that apply there?
We have compiled destination country information as well as entry requirements and customs information for many countries in the Relocation Service section of our website and are constantly expanding this section.
Can I use my own container that I already own for the move with DACHSER & KOLB?
For every removal, which we at DACHSER & KOLB always offer as a door-to-door (full service) removal, a container is rented for the duration of the removal. We therefore do not offer the option of using your own container.
Who is responsible for my move abroad and the services I need there?
As a FIDI member, we work abroad with selected, long-standing partners who work in accordance with our service standards.
Are my removal goods insured in the event of damage?
For every overseas move, we naturally cover transportation insurance at current value for the used household goods and personal belongings
What types of transportation do you offer for overseas relocation?
It is generally possible to carry out overseas removals via air freight or sea freight. In the case of sea freight, it is possible to ship the removal goods as additional cargo (“LCL shipment” with Liftvan) or with a container (FCL shipment in 20 feet, 40 feet or 40 feet high cube). We will be happy to discuss which option is best for you in a personal consultation.
When and how must the move be paid for and what is the payment deadline?
You will receive an invoice a few weeks after placing the order and pay the full amount directly in advance.
Do I have to pay taxes and customs duties on my removal goods?
Removal goods can be imported tax and duty-free into most countries if you have a valid residence permit. We will be happy to check the options for importing the removal goods for your desired destination country in a personal consultation.
