The agency here charged the sponsor/employer ex. QR5,000 + ticket & visa. Out of this amount they will pay QR1,000-Qr1,500 per maid to the agency in Philippines.

And at the same time the agency in Philippines charged the maids (Placement fee or Processing fee) an amount of not less than 30,000 pesos(QR2,281), she also paid for her medicals and documents clearances. OR in other option, the maid will signed a contract with the Philippines agency agreeing to salary deductions of 3-4 months(depends) And these rate I gave you is 5yrs ago, no idea how much they're charging now.

For Engineers/Skilled workers, I heard employer paid to agency here around QR25k-QR30k. Whew!
