worker into Qatar. This

exceed the equivalent of

salary, and is anyway a
matter to be negotiated
between employers. It
should not be borne by
the worker.
4. The worker then informs the new employer that the go-ahead
has been received and the new employer should draw up a new
employment contract. However, this has to be done on
MinLabour’s Digital Authentication System for a Multi-lingual
Employment Contract which, as your writer learnt from ILO, has
a standardised format that does not allow outrageous terms of
employment. There follows some sub-steps for the new
employer to accomplish, at the end of which should be a signed
and government-authenticated employment contract for the
new job.
5. The new employer should give the worker a copy of the
contract, but if this is not done, the worker can download a copy
from the government’s system.
6. The last step is for the new employer to log into the Ministry
of Interior’s system to request a new Qatari ID card (also called
a residency permit) and a health card for the worker.
