Post new topic

KRz

I am from South Africa and my husband is in Morocco.


Morocco only issues 30 day visas to South Africans.


Does anyone have any information about the family visa and the requirements?


Like do we need return tickets?


Which visa is eligible for residency? ( single or multi enertry) ( short validity or long validty)


Name of the Visa.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For South African citizens like yourself looking to move to Morocco, there are specific visa requirements to consider. Currently, South Africans must obtain a visa before entering Morocco. There are different types of visas available, each designed for specific purposes such as tourism, work, or joining a family member in Morocco.


1. Family Reunification Visa: This is a type of visa for foreign nationals who wish to join a family member living in Morocco. This could be a spouse, children, parents, or other close relatives of a Moroccan citizen or legal resident.


2. Visa Application and Fees: The visa application process involves submitting a completed visa form and paying the applicable fees. For a single entry, the fee is 408 Rands, while for multiple entries, it's 612 Rands. You can book an appointment and download the necessary visa forms from the Moroccan Embassy's website in South Africa.


3. Residency and Visa Validity: Once you have your visa, it's important to register with the Moroccan police within three days of arrival. The type of visa that is eligible for residency depends on the specific circumstances and purpose of your stay. It’s advisable to confirm these details with the Moroccan Embassy directly.


4. Required Documents: Common documents required for visa applications include a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds, and a letter of invitation from a Moroccan host. The specifics can vary depending on the visa type.


5. Assistance with the Process: There are services available that can assist with the document processing for your trip. It's always a good idea to get professional guidance to ensure a smooth application process.


6. Keep Updated: Immigration laws and visa requirements can change, so it's important to stay updated by regularly checking with the Moroccan Embassy or a reliable immigration service.


Remember, this is just an overview and the exact requirements can vary. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, you should contact the Moroccan Embassy directly or consult with an immigration expert.


For more detailed information, you can visit the Embassy of Morocco in South Africa's website, or check out the guide on Hinterland Travel and IBN Immigration Solutions page on Moroccan immigration.


I hope this helps, and I wish you the best in your plans to move to Morocco!

Establishing kafala, a form of guardianship recognized in Islamic law, involves a specific legal process. This process varies depending on the country you are in. In the context of moving from South Africa to Morocco, it's crucial to understand both South African and Moroccan legal requirements.


You would typically need to prepare documents such as applications, guardianship agreements, and potentially court orders, depending on the legal requirements in both countries. It's essential to consult with legal professionals experienced in family law and international guardianship in both South Africa and Morocco. They can guide you through the process, help draft the necessary documents, and ensure compliance with all legal requirements.


Since kafala can be a complex legal matter, especially when it involves international jurisdictions, professional legal assistance is highly recommended to navigate the process successfully.
