The right of the domestic workers to keep hold on their passport and documents
Hello,
I'm a domestic worker, and recently I realize that my EID is different from all my friends from the same agency. Mine doesn't have an indication about sponsor name or occupation, it's just plain.
I never saw my residence visa since the employer is keeping my passport. I also haven't seen the ID up close, they only sent me a digital picture of it.
I once called the labor office to enquire about my contract since the office I came from refused to send it to me, unfortunately, I'm not in the labor system.
So my question is, will this be a problem in near future?
Let's say when the visa is being canceled, and what visa am I on because it doesn't look like a domestic worker one to me.
The employer has no right to withhold your passport or any of your documents in general.
Of course, the type of your contract determines your residence visa and related issues.
So you have the right to review and read the same to ascertain that you are not violating any law or regulation.
You can contact us by phone for more help.
