Qatar EOR After the Kafala Reform — What Changed for Employers

Qatar's 2022 labour reforms removed the exit permit requirement and allowed private sector employees to change employers without current sponsor permission after one year of service. For Qatar EOR, this means faster offboarding requirements, EOSB (3 weeks basic salary per year) settlement at variable tenures including sub-one-year exits, and compliant work permit cancellation through the Ministry of Labour — and providers that were not operationally rebuilt after the reform create exposure for every client they serve.
