Typical timeline / duration: 2-5 months
Important notes
Be enrolled in recognised education or study in Morocco and provide the institution and programme evidence required for the residence application.
Apply for the appropriate entry visa when the nationality requires one, then request the foreigner's registration card with the student purpose recorded where applicable.
Provide a valid passport, proof of study, sufficient means of subsistence, accommodation, photographs, medical or criminal-record documents, and the translations or legalisation required for foreign documents.
Renew the registration card before expiry and keep the actual stay and activity consistent with the student purpose.
Morocco's foreigner-stay law distinguishes a registration card marked 'student' from cards for visitors or authorised professional activity; the administration may require a stay visa longer than three months.
Student status is not a general work or remote-work route. Paid work requires a separate authorisation and residence basis.
