There is a probation period for the first 6 months.
Also, we will deduct the costs of the visa application (3500 dhs) from your monthly wages at a rate of 500 dirhams per month until the end of the probation period, at which point, if both parties are satisfied we will re-reimburse these costs also after one year of employment.
