Hi,

Me and my husband are both working and planning to have a Filipina servant whom was recommended to us by a colleague. We plan to take her via direct hire since agency here are quite costly, and we dont know the right person to hire. My friend advice us to take the Filipina by tourist visa then transfer it to servant visa once she is here already in Qatar, so as to avoid undergoing alot of paper works on the househelp part in her home country. Is it possible? If not, kindly advice us how to hire a househelp direct hire and what are the procedure that the filipina must undergo in the Philippines for her to be able to exit Philippines and come here to work for us. thanks a million.

yes it is possible, the only thing to have a filipina servant is just to direct call and she will be the one to process the basic requirements w/o much cost. processing everything in our country Philippines just cost not more than 400 Qatar riyals. but make sure also that the tourist visa is applied here in Qatar before she goes here.
