A company decides to loosen up one of its executives to Morocco. Before taking office in Morocco, the detached or expatriate must make a number of steps to comply with Moroccan law and guarantee his rights. Here are the most important. 

On the arrival 

the formalities related to the installation are relatively cumbersome. But for companies that have already rubbed the administration for a similar case, the procedure can be rapid.

Writing a contract of employment of foreign words
it must be submitted to the Ministry of Employment - Department of Employment – division of the immigration - Rabat.

required Documents:
- Certificate of work from the parent company listing the various occupied positions;
- Certificate of posting properly issued by the parent company;
- Certified copies of diplomas;
- Certificate of former employers or the last employer;
- Certified copy of passport pages: one containing the photograph, the one with visas, possibly, and with date of entry in Morocco;
- yellow Printed of five copies called "printed contract of the work abroad" completed by the company in Morocco, and signed by the employer in Morocco and the person concerned;
- White Printed ,called “work visa”, of 2 copies completed and signed by the detached;
- Important Note: the detached do not need the certificate from the ANAPEC (National Agency for Employment Promotion and skills). However, their period of secondment may not exceed 3 years.

Application for certificate of registration or resident’s permit.  To do this, go to the police of the city of employment equipped by a file that includes:
- Three certified photocopies of the contract of the employment abroad;
- Three certified photocopies of the passport: page with photo, the one of the possible visa and in which figured the latest date of entry in Morocco;
- Three copies of which certified the lease contract on behalf of the expatriate (make two copies of the certified copy);
- Three copies of which certified the contract Lydec (or other state controlled company) on behalf of the expatriate (make two copies of the certified copy)
If the expatriate is housed by the employer, he must provide a certificate confirming this support, which cancels the provision of two items above.
- Two sheets of application for registration (white printed);
- Three sheets of registration application (card printed);
- 8 photos;
- Special Stamp of bill of 60 dirhams.  Note: These documents are valid for each residence card. For married people, the same list is to provide for Spouses and children over sixteen years.

After the filing of such documents from the Police, Service of foreigners, a receipt is issued to the applicant pending the establishment of the residence card at the DGSN in Rabat. The receipt must be covered each month in case the residence permit has not yet been issued by the DGSN within 30 days.


Opening of a bank account
Opening a bank account at a bank is conditioned by the availability of the residence card. But generally, the receipt is sufficient.
To be on the safe side, you must staple by the police prefecture your photo on the receipt, all is cancelled by the stamp of the immigration authorities.


Statement to the CNSS or others

If a bilateral agreement was signed between Morocco and the country of origin of the expatriate and if he is already registered in the Social Fund of his country, it is not necessary for the employer to be register in the CNSS.
In this case, a certificate of the fund of the country of origin is required and must be included in the personal file of the detached.
However, if no such certification, registration with the CNSS becomes mandatory. This updated certificate will be of use for the renewal of contract of employment to the ministry of job.
