By annabelrooney •
Hi I am a british expat about to start working for a company that requires a work permit. i have been living in qatar for 3 months and have a valid residence permit and valid qatari id that expires in 2016. I need a working permit now though. How do i go about applying for one? Thankyou!
-Work Permit QAR500
-Stamping your contract with english arabic translation QAR 30
-Police clearance +/- QAR50 ( I forgot,sorry)
-spending on sending and receiving, to and from your country attested document copy (listed at the back of the form), and attestation on doha (varies based on your country and their process I guess)
Cheers!
ok thanx alot for the reply.i dont want to work illegally. So i just have to get my father to type up a no objection letter and give it to my employer? thanx in advance
ok thank you so much. how much is it for the work permit? expensive?
For me an asian here's what I have done
-First fill up a work permit form from labor office (you can go to the office or from the web) fill it up in arabic and complete all the requirements listed at the back page (except the police clearance)
-bring the completed work permit form with attachments to labor office and they will give you a schedule/endorsement letter for police clearance (they will not take your completed form or monetary payment unless you have the result of your police clearance)
-after a week when you have the endorsement letter from labor office you have to go to Police Clearing Office at Salwa, fill up police clearance form with requirements listed at the back, you could wait for a week or two for the result.
-lastly you have to go back to labor office with your
1. Completed work permit form with all the attachments (listed at the back)
2. Result of your police clearance
3. Payment
and in the same day they will provide you with your work permit ID
or you can ask the company's mandoop to do that for you(a lot easy :-))
Work Permit is to be arranged by the Company for whom you are working. Talk to the HR Department of your Company to get it done. Yes, if you are Sponsored by your father get a NOC from him and pass it to your Employer to arrange the work permit.
If you are under your fathers Sponsorship then you don't need to change your Sponsorship, You only need a No Objection letter from your father allowing you to work.
If you say you have a job lined up then your future Employer will have to arrange the Job contract and have it endorsed my the Ministry of Labour
