The minister stressed that the workers are not supposed to pay any fee in order to complete formalities regarding issuance or cancellation of labour cards, healthcare, visas and transfer of sponsorship.

Dr Al Kaabi was speaking during the open session at the Ministry of Labour (MoL). He met about 25 applicants who came to the session with their problems.

When a company owner asked Dr Al Kaabi to transfer a labourer’s sponsorship, the minister told him to pay the transfer fee, instead of asking the labourer to pay for it. Dr Al Kaabi advised the owner to wait for two days till the approval of the unified fees to facilitate sponsorship transfer. The minister transferred many cases to the settlement and conciliation committee for action. The cases included requests for work permits, fine exemptions and sponsorship transfers.
