Citizens of some countries are exempted from a visa to Morocco when staying until 90 days. However, all foreigners will need a Moroccan work visa to work in the country legally.

    The most popular employment visa is the long-term visa. This type of visa is valid for three months (90 days) and can be issued for single or multiple entries. A long-term visa allows the holder to apply for a residence permit after entering Morocco. If you do not extend your stay in Morocco and do not receive a resident card, you will have to leave after three months, even if you have a long-term visa.

    You must have a work permit in Morocco to obtain a work visa.

    The process of obtaining a work visa in Morocco

    Employees must apply for a Moroccan work visa at a diplomatic mission in their home country. Each country and mission has slightly different application processes, but general steps include:

1. Appointment at the consulate or embassy of Morocco
2. Filling out the visa application form
3. Collection of necessary documents
4. Submission of all documents to the embassy or consulate
5. Payment of the visa fee
6. Waiting for a visa
7. Obtaining a visa.

    Please note that foreigners are prohibited from working in any jobs in Morocco that Moroccan nationals may occupy. In addition, most foreign employees must have high-level skills that are not usually popular in Morocco, such as speaking a foreign language or having special training.

    Employers may need to advertise the job and interview other candidates to prove they cannot find a Moroccan citizen suitable for it.
