As you consider expanding your operations to Morocco, it is essential to understand the country’s economic and political climate. Morocco boasts a diverse and growing economy, with key industries such as agriculture, mining, and manufacturing driving its growth. The nation has seen consistent progress in recent years, with a commitment to infrastructure development and an increasing focus on renewable energy.
Morocco’s political stability offers a favorable environment for international businesses. The nation enjoys a stable government and a strategic location at the crossroads of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. This prime position has allowed Morocco to forge strong trade relations and attract foreign investments.
The most widely spoken languages in Morocco are Arabic and Amazigh, with French being the dominant foreign language used in business and commerce. This diverse linguistic landscape makes it an attractive destination for multinational companies seeking to establish a foothold in the region.
International businesses are drawn to Morocco for its advantageous investment climate, strategic location, and skilled workforce. By expanding your operations to Morocco, you can tap into its immense potential and leverage the benefits of its growing economy.
Navigating immigration procedures is a crucial aspect of employee relocation. Here are some general immigration facts and requirements for foreign nationals seeking to work in Morocco:
Expatriated to Morocco: To work in Morocco, foreign nationals must enter into a work contract signed by a Moroccan entity or a foreign company’s fixed place of business in Morocco. Additionally, they must obtain prior approval from the Anapec (a government agency) and the Ministry of Employment in Morocco.
Seconded by a foreign parent company to its Moroccan subsidiary or branch: These employees require only the approval of the Ministry of Employment, as they remain under the foreign company’s purview.
Self-employed expatriates: They can establish independent companies or businesses in Morocco, provided they possess valid work and residence permits. The minimum capital required depends on the type of business or company.
Residence permits: Foreign nationals can obtain work and residence permits after entering Morocco on a temporary visa. Residence permits, issued for 1 to 10 years, can be renewed indefinitely. To obtain a permit, applicants must submit their documents to the police authorities, including a stamped work permit and a lease agreement.
