i little bit confused, infact it is easy to get visa from immigration and buy a ticket and that's what I have done for an indonesian maid, but ...I have been contacted from a local agency (never known before) claiming for 7000 Qr fee. they told me that if I do not pay to them, she will not come. IS THAT LEGAL???? I have already paid for the agency in Indonesia. Can i stat a legal action against that local agency?????

honestpedal....how can you hire directly from philippines?

The Philippines govt made very strict rule so as not to hire directly. This though inconvenient sometimes has some kind of protection against exploitation of the maid.

But then you say one can hire directly? How could you please explain?

to apply for a maid you must ask for a maid visa at the central immigration department, you fill the form and submit with some other documents (bank statement account x 6 months, husband passport and id, wife ID and pass., letter from husband and wife Company, document of legal marriage)after two days they issue the visa. when you already have the passport copy from a maid you want to hire, to bring it to the immigration and you ask to put her name on that visa. when you ave done that you can send her the ticket and visa copy and it is finished... It is easy, but after I have done all of this an agency here contated me to ask for money !!!!They did not do anything for me , how should I pay 7000 QR!!!is it legal to ask me money???? can i start a legal action against that agency????????????????????? Any lower can help me???

Try to approach Philippine Labour Office near Hamad and they will let you prepare the contract USD 400 salary. Send the visa to Philippines along with the contract and let the housemaid acknowledge it. You can ask her to go to POEA - Philippine Overseas Employment Administration. If your housemaid has GCC experience training certificate required by POEA is no longer required. If you want to hire through agency QAR 7000 you can visit Monaco Trading near in Al Thani Bldg near VIP round-about PM me if you still need help

working-mom:
It will be the same procedure if i want to hire idonesian maid? I have got so bad experience with philipinoes, they made for me so many problems, at the end i decided to live my wonderful job and stay at home. now I am alone, but i drem to work again and have a good maid supporting me. Can I dream??

honespedal:
we already paied 7000 twice in a year and the maids were a disaster... the first one run away after three months because of her boyfriend, the second was mentally retarded, the third was a prostitute willing ro relocate since the second day in Qatar, the fourth was stealing from the cupboard after one week and the fifth was pregnant...
Now I don't want to pay anymore, I already get visa for indonesian, I have her passport, but an unknown agency is pretending for money. What shall I do,do you think it might be useful to complain at the Indonesian Ambassy?

I have an experience recently. Since I am from the Philippines, I was requested by an expat friend who happened not a Filipino to help bring in here a sales lady. He produced a working visa and sent to the Philippines. I advised the lady to proceed to POAE named hire section for the formalities. She complied to all the requirements except the original employment contract duly authenticated by the Philippine Embassy here. I asked the my friend to prepare a contract. I personally went to POLO for stamping. The POLO officer refused unless a valid agency license be attached together with other requirements. I then advised the lady in the Philippines to look for an agency who can provide a copy of the valid license. Unfortunately, the lady failed to produce the required document. She finally backed out.
Hiring a maid from the Philippines without going through an agency is next to impossible.

That's very sweet of you, honestpedal.

expatinqatar,

If you want an easy way, let the made come by tourist visa, 800 only for 1 month, as soon as she arrive here, process the transfer under your sponsorship if you have a ready visa... pm me for the agency that have tourist visa. The only thing you need to is the show money and the ticket plus the 800 qr.

Just keep trying, they sometimes reject the frist application. Tell them you are going to work.
