Look in workaway.info and "Helpx" websites. These are volunteering sites but might be a good way to meet people who can help you with your goals.

I haven't used these personally however I met a couple who did they gave good feedback on Helpx.

The link above is intriguing.

Hi everyone!

I am new to the forum. Planning on taking a gap year and working in Morocco, my profession is social work with children in England and very interested in getting involved with similar work in Morocco, particularly Marrakech. It has always been a dream to work abroad for a charity helping disadvantaged people. I have been in a relationship with someone in Marrakech for the past year so this will be the start of us really.

I am looking into all the processes of moving to Morocco and wondered if it is easy to apply for a residence card, or if I am better to travel back to England for a weekend every 90 days as this is all my passport will allow me to stay in one go.

Any advice or information would be much appreciated 馃槍

Hi there
as far I know , it's not very difficult to get a residence card here
it takes some time though, but 90 days should be more than enough time to get one

Hello rine19,

Agadir is just lovely.
I recommend you look for the website avito(dot)ma
It's only available in french and arabic but you can always use google translate webpages
It's like the moroccan craigslist: anything from appartments for rent or sale to cars and household items.

Good luck to you guys

Hi everyone, We had a busy year visiting Morocco for two weeks and China for two weeks. We are considering retiring in Morocco. We loved our experience there and would consider living there as retirees. We both grew up in the US. I have traveled widely, but my wife has only traveled with me. My wife sings jazz. There are a few jazz festivals and clubs she might sing at. I want to give her opportunities to meet other women in Morocco. This site seems alive with possibilities.

if u are married to a moroccan it should be easy to obtain ur residence cared / i dont know about job but from what i ve seen on this website聽 moroccans are given the priority聽 but teaching jobs are most likly for u if u meet the requirements聽 ( maybe work in a privet school or a languege centre ) ....
other job will require u to speak the languege ( Darija ) but u don t need that in teaching jobs and those jobs have the best salaries compaining to the rest of the jobs here and u will benifit from the long vacations and 2 months summer vacation

it is easy if u are qualified enough for the kind of job u are applying for !聽聽and of cours聽 u can t get a job in this country witch is almost impossible to get a job without having to bribe someone聽 and bribery is considered one of the requirements that qualify u for a job聽
but u can always try something else in other countrie where a moroccan certificate is qualified sush as poorer countries maybe, i don t know mush about the subject but that s what is intrnet for so do ur research聽 on ur field of experties聽聽 u cant just randomly throw the word ( JOB ) and expect an answer

聽聽 good luck

Hi everyone!

I joined the community this morning and took some time to read the forums.
I actually live in Italy and I work as an architect.
I鈥檓 considering Morocco for a possible expat.

I've already visited the south and loved it. The country also tickles me as a design industry worker. I can speak Italian, French and English, but no Arabic at all.

Is there some architect between you, or do you know any non-Moroccan professional who is working / worked in an architectural firm in Marrakech or Morocco? It would be great for me to hear their stories and practical considerations. Any contribution is welcome聽

Hi everyone and welcome on board聽

@ Mahasen, perhaps i could suggest that you drop your own "looking for" advert in the Housing in Rabat section of the website by defining your requirements and try to contact the professionals recommended in the Real estate in Rabat.

All the best,

Hello

We are a family of 5, (two sons: 4 and 6 / one daughter:6 months) we are 34 and 35 years old. We own a webshop.

We are living in Amsterdam but we would love to live abroad for longer periods. Our main interest is Tangiers/Tetouan. but we also considere the coastline of spain. Also the Spanish city Cueta is a possibility.

We have our own business, that we want to continue from home. We only need a fast internet and we are good to go.

Our biggest concern are the kids, we need to find a great school and a child friendly neighbourhood for them. Its important for us that the children love the time we spend abroad.

Ww hope to meet you online and learn from you all!
