Morocco has announced a new digital platform aimed at reducing bureaucratic delays for Moroccans Residing Abroad (MRE) during their summer visits. The initiative, unveiled by the Ministry of Digital Transition and Administrative Reform, targets the congestion at urban planning services that often hinders investment and housing procedures.
According to official statements, the platform will allow MREs to submit and track requests for building permits, land registration, and other administrative documents online. This move follows years of complaints from the diaspora about long wait times and complex paperwork during the peak summer season.
The government reports that over 5 million Moroccans live abroad, with many returning between June and September. The new system is expected to reduce processing times by up to 50% for certain procedures, though specific metrics have not yet been released.
Local authorities have been instructed to prioritize MRE files and ensure that digital services are accessible in multiple languages, including French, Arabic, and English. The platform is part of a broader e-government strategy to modernize public services by 2028.
