New Sponsorship Law
By Gabriela_D •
Dear All,
Would appreciate some help regarding the Subject line. Does anybody knows if the new sponsorship law has been already issued? is it yet into force? and if so, can anybody direct me to a link or something so I can get a copy? Thank you all!
there is this new law that the employer must return the passport of all his employee but if u refuse to take ur passport from them u should sign a waiver that u allow ur employer to keep ur passport
sponcer have no right to keep ur passport once u get ur residence permit. otherwise panelty up till QR. 10000.
Check www.hookumi.com.qa
Also check human rights website of qatar there u can download human rights booklet. U will get to know according which law & which section sponser cant keep ur passport & whats the panelty.
I hope this will be helpful to u.
Although it is important and indeed everyone's right to hold their own passport - It has minimal benefit when you are not able to leave the country of your own free will. I am talking about the current exit permit system, requiring a those on work visa to seek exit permit from the sponsor! Surely a basic human right to leave a country if you wish to!
I know about this law. I mean that keeping passport with me or with my employer is same meaning.
i'm not sure i understand you... what exactly you mean? the passport is property of the authority (government) which issued it... it's an official document, which can not be kept just by free will.... just my opinion... besides, I am still interested in that law....
even employee keep passport with them. How an employee gain from this law?
yea, i read about it, unfortunately it seems like that law is to be found.....nowhere... :)
thank you all! i checked the ministry of labor but couldnt find anything right....ill check again
I think this is a good example

Check it in the labor department
There was a law issued by the Qaatari Government a short time ago that the sponsor is not allowed to keep the passport he has to give it back after the visa is issued please search Gulf Times I think it was printed there a while ago
bingo! thanks!
Mrme
She is asking about sponsorship low...
I read different articles regarding the issuance of a new sponsorship law.... what i am especially interested in is the some regulations concerning the passports kept by the employer.... I keep on reading references about this and the penalties a company should pay in such cases, but i can not find a proper legal background for this... Thanks for the feedback
what new law are you talkin bout Gabriela?
