Banking and Cash Transfers
Students Expecting to reside in Morocco must acquire a visa debit card from a local bank in their home country and activate the online banking feature to receive and monitor stipend deposits from their designated country (if provided), deposits from family or alternative aids. Otherwise, students only require their passport, a printed copy of the passport bio-data page and a code provided by AMCI at each interval to collect the deposit of the Moroccan Government stipend. The stipend code is shared via an online platform and will be shared afterwards. For further convenience, students have the option of opening a bank account in Morocco after receipt of the Student Residency Card (Carte de Sejour). MoneyGram and Western Union are also available throughout Morocco for Money Transfers.
