Domestic-worker recruitment in Qatar is regulated by the Ministry of Labour. Ask the agency for its commercial registration and Ministry of Labour authorisation, and confirm details at adlsa.gov.qa before signing. Reputable agencies share these openly.
Qatar reformed the kafala system in 2020. Many workers can change employers without a No-Objection Certificate, but domestic-worker hiring still goes through licensed agencies and Ministry of Labour processes. Confirm the current procedure with your agency.
Monthly salaries typically range from QAR 1,000 to QAR 1,500 depending on nationality and experience. Qatar's minimum wage sets a QAR 1,000 basic, plus food and housing allowances if not provided in kind. One-time agency and visa fees are additional.
From signing to the worker's arrival usually takes 3–6 weeks, depending on the source country, medical clearance, and visa processing.
