Film permits in Morocco

Standing by its reputation as one of the world's most film-friendly locations, Morocco offers a straightforward film permit system. The Moroccan government welcomes movie producers and has to undergo simplified permit procedures and flexible regulations.

For any film to be shot in Morocco, an official permit from the Moroccan Cinematographic Center, the film production and government authorization agency in Morocco, is necessary. This agency governs all film production companies in Morocco.
