Question 1

What paperwork do I need to work as an English teacher in Morocco?

Accepted Answer

The key document is an employment contract duly validated by the Ministry of Employment. Moroccan consular services list it for a work visa, together with the visa application form, two color photos of 4 by 3 cm, a passport valid for longer than your stay, a copy of its identity and validity pages, and an ID card or residence permit showing your address. Apply from your country of residence, since a visa type cannot be changed after entry.

Question 2

How long can I stay in Morocco without a visa when I first arrive?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your passport. The UK government says British citizens can visit Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days for tourism, and must request an extension at a Moroccan police station to stay longer. Canada's travel advice says Canadians need no visa for stays under 90 days and should contact the foreigners section of the local police at least 15 days before that limit to extend. Other purposes need the consulate's advice.

Question 3

Do I need a residence card to stay in Morocco beyond three months?

Accepted Answer

If you hold a long validity visa, yes. Morocco's consular services explain that a long validity visa allows multiple entries, can be valid for up to one year, and allows stays of one to ninety days each. A holder who wants to stay in Morocco for more than three months should request a registration card from the General Directorate of National Security. Start that step early so your residence is in order while you are teaching.

Question 4

Can I change my visa type after I arrive in Morocco to teach there?

Accepted Answer

No. Morocco's consular services state that, under the regulations in force, a visa type cannot be changed once its holder has entered Moroccan territory, and a new visa must be requested from your country of residence. They also note that holding a visa does not give an irrevocable right of entry, since border checks can cover your means of stay and reason for coming. Sort out the right visa before you travel.

Question 5

Which Premier TEFL course is the best choice for teaching in Morocco?

Accepted Answer

The 180 hour Government Regulated Level 5 TEFL Diploma, Ofqual reference 610/1572/6, suits most people heading to Morocco. It is a recognized Level 5 qualification that schools can verify on the UK government register. The 120 hour Accredited Online TEFL Course is the starting option, and the 60 hour Level 5 Business English course adds a focused option if you plan to teach adults and working professionals.
