Can I buy remotely without flying to Morocco?
Yes, through a procuration (power of attorney). You'll still want to visit the property first.
Yes. A foreign buyer can complete a Moroccan property purchase entirely remotely, using a procuration (power of attorney) granted to a trusted agent — typically a lawyer, a representative of the agency handling the sale, or a family member. The procuration is itself notarised, either in Morocco or at a Moroccan consulate abroad, and authorises the holder to sign the compromis and the acte de vente on the buyer's behalf.
This is legal and used routinely. Diaspora buyers living in Paris, Montreal, or Dubai complete transactions this way all the time.
The practical caveat: a remote purchase without any physical visit to the property is not recommended for first-time foreign buyers. The listings photography, video walkthroughs, and inspection reports can be good, but they cannot substitute for the experience of walking the derb, feeling the light in the courtyard, hearing what the street sounds like. Every buyer who has regretted a Moroccan property purchase has typically skipped the visit.
A workable middle path: visit the property (and the neighbourhood, and the quarter) at least once. Agree to proceed. Return home. Then grant a procuration for the signing work so you don't need to fly back twice. This gives you the physical grounding you need for a good decision and the logistical flexibility of not tying your calendar to Moroccan notarial scheduling.
