My employment letter is for a temporary position and I have only been employed in it for about 2 and a half months is that enough or would they not accept that? I can show payslips for 3 months however as I had a different placement before this

That shouldn't be a problem. What's important is that you can show you can take care of yourself and your wife.

I don't know which country you live in, but embassies usually have to confirm to the court that they have no doubts about your ability to marry in Morocco. For that, they also need to check your income, which should be fine.


Wishing you all the best for your marriage!

@Abdullah Bin Sohail employment letter is enough.. it should state your annual income and job description. Thats all.

@ExpatServicesMarrakech hi, does the same applies for women? Do women have also to present the payslips and the letter from employer?

Yes, I had to, but more to just show what I'm doing. In Morocco, it's the husband's responsibility to provide for a living. However, even then, they can't stop you from getting married if both partners have no income.

@ExpatServicesMarrakech okay, thanks. does it need to be translated as well ( i mean the letter from employer ) ? and what about the payslips?

@Yassim M Hi i contacted the consulate of morroco in London regards to this. She advised that you do not need to provide any employment proof as a woman

@Yassim M I would provide even if the guidance is no! Don't want to miss a thing.

@mishiii I needed a calculation of my business income to show it at my embassy because they had to generate a letter proving my ability to marry in Morocco. For German citizens, the Moroccan court asked for this. Requirements might differ from country to country.
