Types of Morocco work visas
People from many countries (though not all) can come into Morocco without pre-arranging a visa for stays of less than three months. However, to work in Morocco long-term, they will need long-term work visas. These are valid for three months but enable the individual to apply for their residency permit.
In addition to work visas, there are also student visas and other categories, but foreign employees will generally need a work visa.
How to get a work visa for Morocco
Your prospective employees will need to lodge their Morocco visa applications in their home countries via the nearest Moroccan embassy/consulate or authorized government office. In general, this will entail scheduling and attending an appointment, completing the application paperwork and submitting all relevant documents, then paying all necessary fees. The visa application will be processed over a period of days or weeks before being approved.
If it is not possible to contact a Moroccan embassy, then you should directly contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for assistance.
