About this Visa
This visa lets you study in Morocco for programs lasting longer than 3 months. You need an acceptance letter from a Moroccan university or school first. Once you arrive in Morocco, you'll get a residence card to stay legally while studying. You can go to Morocco only if your school accepts you and you can pay for your education and living expenses. The process involves getting initial approval from a Moroccan embassy or using online eVisa, then registering for a residence card once in-country. This visa offers work rights during internships, the ability to bring family members, and a potential path to permanent residence and citizenship after meeting residency requirements.
