IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Morocco has begun limiting the number of foreign nationals who are eligible to work in Morocco under the intracompany transferee, or ICT, route.
What does the change mean? Only ICTs who are transferred from an overseas parent corporation to a Moroccan subsidiary are eligible; employees transferring between sister companies are no longer eligible and will have to complete longer procedures including obtaining pre-approval from ANAPEC (Agence Nationale de Promotion de l’Emploi et des Compétences), the national employment agency, in order to qualify for work permits.
BAL Analysis: Global companies should be aware of the new limitation on ICTs who are transferred between affiliates rather than between an overseas parent company and a Moroccan subsidiary. Companies using the ICT route may need to consider this restriction when forming a Moroccan business unit.
