Hello everyone, to keep it short i'm a moroccan man with a filipina girlfriend that want to move to morocco and i don't have much information of how a foreigner can move in here, does marriage would allow her to move here and stay as long as she want or she needs like a work permit, and concerning work she has a good experiences as a sale agent in call centers she does speak english and tagalog, any informartion would help, thank you in advance !

Marrying a Moroccan does indeed allow one to apply for residence.


As regards possible employment in Morocco, English is great, especially for a call centre, but I think you will find she would also need Arabic and French, if only to deal with management, colleagues, and non-English-speaking customers.

@Bill Shepherd I understand thank you for your reply, and what kind of jobs you think she will be able to take in morocco beside call center, or for example if she came her and we got married as you said she can apply for the residency so no need for her to find a job inside morocco like maybe she can find a remote job or something since she will be getting her residency no need for work permit for her to stay she can only stay here in morocco through marriage only is that correct ?

Bill Shepherd

@NAoufal00 Yes, if she is married to you then she can apply for residency in Morocco, so no need for a work permit.


As regards the sorts of jobs she would be able to do, correct me if I am wrong but most jobs in Morocco are 'protected', un the sense that foreigners cannot take them. I think foreigners can only take posts which Moroccans are unable to perform.


I am sure others on the board know more about this then me.
