  • Work permit fee

    Required

    A fee paid to the Ministry of Labour, plus a fee stamp. The Ministry of Labour's e-government portal states 300 dinars for non-agricultural foreign workers (180 dinars for Arab workers), 120 dinars for foreign agricultural workers (60 dinars for Arab workers), and a stamp duty of 5% of monthly salary; a separate 2019 fee regulation instead sets a flat 350 dinars per worker per year in most sectors, with different amounts for the garment/sewing sector and for day labourers in agriculture, construction, or loading and unloading. Check current fees with the Ministry of Labour directorate handling your application.

Why applications on this route get refused

  • Missing required documents

    The Ministry of Labour lists a specific set of documents needed to obtain a work permit, including the application forms, work contract, passport copy, and insurance policy.

    How to avoid it: Gather every listed document before submitting your papers to the employment department.

  • Work permit fees not paid

    The work permit fee (plus the fee stamp) must be paid before the permit, passport stamp, and work contract can be issued.

    How to avoid it: Confirm the current fee amount with the Ministry of Labour directorate and pay it as part of the application.

  • Work permit expired and not renewed in time

    Regulation No. 142 of 2019 sets a delay fine of 50% of the work permit fee if the permit expires and isn't renewed within 90 days of its completion date.

    How to avoid it: Track your work permit's expiry date and start the renewal, including the medical check-up required for renewals, well before it runs out.
