Visas & Customs Requirements

Employment:

Foreigners are not required to secure work before moving to Morocco. However, to apply for a resident card (carte du sejour), a bank statement or other proof of income may be required. If an individual is not employed and does not have enough personal income to support oneself in the country, the application will be denied. A work contract is generally enough to prove working status in Morocco.

As a rapidly developing country, technology, communications, and business experience are in high demand. As more private companies seek Morocco as a place to do business, qualified professionals from human resources to marketing managers are in high demand. Most business is conducted in French, so if for foreigners want to work in the business setting, it is almost essential to speak the language fluently.

Employment Situation:

The off shoring companies offered significant job offers for graduate and non-graduate job seekers in Morocco, and refined the job market and the economic growth to a considerable level, thing that ranked Morocco at the top ten world countries in the off shoring and outsourcing business fields. But a minority of Moroccans with English backgrounds hasn't gotten a fair share in the "refined" Moroccan job market, and is more or less isolated as far as availability of jobs in English is concerned. Job opportunities are potentially available to the majority of Moroccans with good level in French. Yet the minority with English interests and background has less chance to find jobs.

Teaching Positions:

English is the third language in the Moroccan educational system, after Arabic and French, and is taught to students from the age of ten. With increasing opportunities for work in tourism, business and higher education, Moroccans are keen to develop their English language skills. The Moroccan Ministry of Labor specifies that all foreign teachers have a university degree to qualify for a work permit that should be obtained after arrival. Despite the fact that knowing French is not an official requirement, it is a great advantage for any person planning to teach English in Morocco. The hourly rate of pay is between $10 and $14.

Today English is a well-liked major in Morocco since it proposes some small hope of getting a job in what is otherwise a bleak employment picture for university graduates, so English classes are regularly overcrowded.

Obtaining the Ministry of Labor's Authorization to Work:

In Morocco, work permit applications are employer led and work permits may only be granted to candidates who have been offered a specific position with a particular Moroccan company.

The company in question must apply on behalf of the candidate and will be required to demonstrate that the position being offered could not have been filled by a Moroccan citizen or permanent resident.
