What will the Housemaid do back in the Philippines:

1. Have medical check-up to medical clinics which are accredited by Qatar Embassy in the Philippines. The medical result should be remarked "FIT TO WORK" for her to qualify for working visa.

2. If the visa is already available the housemaid will send it to Qatar Embassy in the Philippines together with her passport, authenticated birth certificate, and medical result with "FIT TO WORK" remarks. She will send the documents thru DHL (courier) not personally. After 3 to 5 days processing Qatar Embassy will send back all her documents to her via DHL also along with certification that she has a valid working upon her entry in Qatar.

3. Then the housemaid has to go to the Phil. Overseas Employment Office (POEA) along with all those documents and the authenticated working Contract. The POEA will give her a form (repatriation form). That repatriation form will be filled-up by the housemaid then send it to you via email or fax for your signature as her employer. After you signed you can send it directly to the POEA Office. Repatriation Form is need to protect the OFW. That in case the employee will die (knock on wood) you have to shoulder the cost to repatriate the worker. With all those papers verified by the POEA Officer in Window 2 (for Direct Hire) she will schedule for Pre Departure Orientation Seminar (PDOS). After that POEA will issue her an Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC)upon payment of more or less 100 USD. With that OEC and place ticket she can now HOP in Qatar Airways meet you and start the work.

I hope this info helps. :-)
