Working for a French company from Morocco
Remote collaboration with French companies is common. Here is the status framework, invoicing and umbrella options.
Working for a French company from Morocco
Large flow of Moroccan talent working remotely for French companies: IT, consulting, design, support. Framework = self-employed, umbrella, or sometimes foreign company (to validate legally).
As self-employed: you invoice the French client, collect in EUR, declare in MAD on RNAE. Under umbrella: WEEPO invoices, you are employed in Morocco.
No French visa required if you reside in Morocco — your local status governs the activity.
Which status for a French client?
Self-employed: start under MAD 200,000 cap (services). EUR invoicing possible. You manage conversion, AMO, limited protection.
Umbrella: recurring missions, high day rate, demanding contracts. Employee CNSS, WEEPO invoices in EUR.
Self-employed vs umbrella comparator + umbrella simulator to quantify the difference on your revenue.
Invoicing and payment France → Morocco
EUR SWIFT payment is standard. MAD conversion on collection for self-employed declaration.
Invoice mentions: ICE, AE number, VAT not applicable. French clients are used to international providers.
Umbrella: WEEPO issues invoice, handles follow-up and conversion — you receive MAD payslip.
Taxation and dual residence
Activity carried out from Morocco = Moroccan taxation on income (flat self-employed tax or employee income tax under umbrella).
Generally no French VAT if Moroccan provider not established in France — verify case by case with client.
Keep contracts, invoices, SWIFT statements to justify origin and income declaration.
WEEPO support
Umbrella pathway for France-Morocco consultants: net simulation, contract, client invoicing, CNSS payroll.
