A: Use a government-licensed recruitment agency — MOHRE/Tadbeer in the UAE, Musaned in Saudi Arabia, LMRA in Bahrain, PAM in Kuwait, MADLSA in Qatar, MOL in Oman. Compare licensed agencies on GCC Domestic and contact them directly. Unlicensed/direct hiring is illegal and risky. Q: How do I verify an agency is genuinely licensed? A: Check its licence on the government registry (MOHRE, Musaned, LMRA, PAM). Every GCC Domestic agency listing links to its official government record so it can be verified independently. Q: Which worker nationalities are available? A: Commonly Filipino, Indonesian, Ethiopian, Kenyan, Ugandan, Sri Lankan, Indian, Nepali and Bangladeshi domestic workers, subject to each country's bilateral labour agreements.
