Morocco

Morocco offers US citizens 90-day visa-free entry with straightforward residency permit options for longer stays. The cost of living is remarkably low—couples can live comfortably on $1,800-2,500/month in cities like Marrakech, with meals at restaurants costing just $3-16. Housing ranges from $400/month for modest apartments to $1,500+ for premium locations. There's no specific retirement visa, but the Carte de Séjour residency permit requires proving $500-1,500/month income. Popular expat cities include Marrakech (cultural hub), Casablanca (business center), Rabat, and Tangier. French and Arabic are primary languages; English is limited but growing. Private healthcare in major cities meets international standards.
