Hi there i was wondering if anyone knows how much it costs when you get a maid who already lives in Qatar and has a visa through a family but just needs to transfer that through to another family ?

thanks

i wont take someone on if they want £ for it ...it just sounds so much having to pay 8000 reals to get a maid from the philipines when there are so many already here available to work too.... at least this way is much less costly.... lets see how we get on

thank you for your help ...

It cost us 1700qr. Our HR department handled it for us. Watch out as the former sponsor may request money since they most likely paid thousands of QR to obtain the maid through an angency. Luckily ours did not, but I have heard it happen quite a bit.
