What is the average monthly cost for a full time maid in Doha?

Sorry if the question is not new but what I have not bben able to get is exactly the monthly expected pay rather than the visa fee.

Thanks a lot you all.

Is there a way to get a maid that doesn't live in legally?

I second mandi on this. If you are employing a person full time you need to be the person's sponsor. If the person in a "run-away" made or in the country illegally, you could theoretically face criminal prosecution and a massive fine (40,000 plus). I know of at least a couple of Western families who were hit will the fines.

Well, if someone works for you full time you are legally expected to sponsor them.

got it thank you.

But what about 8 hrs per day 5 days a week ? No room, no food, no clothes, no trip back home ?

ROFL. 700-1000 for salary and room, food, clothing and a trip home every two years. Fridays (or other day of your choice) off.

Anything above that is at your discretion. I would advise adding more unless as incentive for good service.

Make clear the terms in the contract.

It depends on the maid's nationality and it also depends on the employer's nationality. Since you asked the average, I think it would be 1500 QR.
