• The 2026 general instruction on exchange operations (IGOC 2026) took effect on 1 January 2026. Among other changes, holders of service contracts abroad can credit part of the repatriated amounts to foreign-currency or convertible-dirham accounts. Source: FNH — IGOC 2026
• Exporters of goods and services are among those allowed to use foreign-currency accounts at Moroccan banks. The Office des Changes FAQ doesn't single out auto-entrepreneurs, so confirm with your bank how this applies to you. Source: Office des Changes — FAQ
• Direct international wires to Moroccan banks often carry a fixed fee per transfer, which is why receiving accounts such as Payoneer are common for frequent, smaller payments. Source: Grey — receiving payments in Morocco
• Auto-entrepreneur status is the usual way to declare foreign freelance income. Turnover ceilings apply, so keep records of every international payment. Source: Grey — receiving payments in Morocco
