Borderhopping possible?

Hey people,
I got a quick question, hope someone out there knows the answer... I plan to stay in morocco for four months. as it is pretty complicated to apply for an internship visa, I would like to stay in the country for 3 months (which is no problem with a normal visa for me) and then do borderhopping (which means leaving the country and travelling back immediately to get the duration of my visa prolonged)to be able to stay in Morocco for another month. A friend of mine who did her intership last year in Morocco told me that worked perfectly fine in her case. Now my question is (because I know that some othe countries where borderhopping used to be really easy as well are pretty strict now and don´t allow borderhopping anymore): does it still work for Morocco?
I´m happy about any replies!
Cheers Sophie

Last time I checked (couple of years back) I knew foreigners who did just that many times over. 3 months and they go to Ceuta overnight which is in Morocco but a spanish colony. they return the next day.

hi
if you visa is finish you need  just  a trip  in Spain just for a weekend not too expensive 700 dh even less and you have a new visa for 3 months more.
