Thanks a ton! I have been planning to relocate to Qatar, and this has been the best piece of information for me. Would you know what the scope of HR is for an Indian National there? What are the companies one should apply to since I assume some industries would prefer nationals? I have three years of experience as an HR Generalist (Assistant Manager) in one of the leading companies in India.

Thanks, Beena

I have corrected the spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, as well as ensured proper paragraph formatting with single line breaks between paragraphs. The original meaning and tone of the message have been preserved.

Thank you very much, Mr. Jacky, for providing us with the Qatar Labour Laws as our management has initiated a new project in a Gulf country.

Dear All,

@Shaik - I am not willing to contact anybody over the telephone. If you need any help from my side, please post here or send a personal message to me. Insha Allah, I will revert to you. Sorry...

@Beena - Nowadays, there are many HR openings in Qatar, including in my company. The Ministry of Labour has imposed some restrictions on Indian nationals' visas here.

@Farhan - I have the UAE labor law. I will update it soon.

Hi Beena,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify what you mean by stringent on Indian national visa? Are you referring to the visa laws or the preference for nationals in HR roles traditionally?

I am currently working as a Generalist in the position of AM, and I am not familiar with the nature of the job there. What preparatory steps should I take, such as courses or general reading, before diving into this new role?

Your advice is much appreciated.

Best regards,
Jacky

Dear Beena,

I mean, as per the Qatar Ministry, there are a lot of Indian nationals working here. So, they impose restrictions for Indian visas. Job profiles depend on the companies.

You need to have thorough knowledge in HR activities, especially in Training & Development, Employee welfare & benefits, Salary & compensation, and performance appraisal systems.

I have a BE in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA in Marketing, with 7-8 years of experience. Currently, I am in Dubai working in Sales. Can anyone help me with the cost of living and the salary that I should ask for? It would be a great help.

Hi Jackyy,

This was really informative. I request you to post detailed or summarized information on the important Qatar and UAE labor laws that are most commonly used, along with the rules and acts that need to be exercised cautiously. This will help all Gulf aspirants.
