Hire Egyptian Workers in the Gulf

Employers in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain often recruit internationally for construction, hospitality, manufacturing, logistics and facility roles. Begory Advance Hire is a recruitment agency in Maghagha, Minya, Egypt, and is now extending its support to Gulf employers. We can find, screen and coordinate candidates in Egypt against your hiring brief. Your company, as the employer in the Gulf, keeps responsibility for work authorization, visas and local labour-law compliance.

Compliance notice: This page is general recruitment information. It is not immigration, employment or legal advice for any Gulf country. Each country has its own authorities, platforms and rules, and they change. Confirm every step with the competent authorities and a qualified local adviser in the country where the worker will be employed.

What Begory Does, and What It Does Not Do

Begory works on the Egypt side of the recruitment process. Within a scope agreed in writing for each project, Begory can:

• review your job requirements and agree screening criteria
• advertise roles and source candidates in Egypt
• review CVs, work histories and the documents candidates hold
• coordinate online interviews with your team
• coordinate agreed trade tests and practical assessments
• explain your offer terms to candidates in Arabic
• help selected candidates prepare the documents your country’s process asks for, such as passport copies, certificates and medical reports

Begory does not:

• act as the employer or sponsor
• file applications with Gulf ministries, labour platforms or immigration authorities
• issue work permits, visas or residence permits
• guarantee approvals, visa decisions or arrival dates

Your company (or your authorized local representative) is the legal employer and sponsor. You employ and pay the worker and handle work authorization, visas and local compliance. That includes any rule that requires you to recruit through a locally licensed recruitment office or a government platform. Several Gulf countries regulate who may recruit workers from abroad, so confirm the arrangement for your company before recruitment starts.

Choose Your Country

Each country page explains, from official sources, how the employer-side process works there and how Begory’s Egypt-side support fits around it.

• Saudi Arabia: work visas through Qiwa, eligibility linked to Nitaqat, Professional Verification tests in Egypt for certain trades, and work permits issued after arrival.
• United Arab Emirates: MoHRE job offer and work permit, employer-paid recruitment costs and a residence visa.
• Qatar: Ministry of Labour recruitment approval, licensed recruitment channels, and minimum wage and mobility rules.
• Kuwait: Public Authority for Manpower work permit, then a Ministry of Interior entry visa.
• Oman: Ministry of Labour work permit, Royal Oman Police work visa and an Egypt-specific medical certificate requirement.
• Bahrain: LMRA work permit through EMS, local vacancy advertisement and a pre-departure medical exam.

Roles Gulf Employers Can Ask Begory to Source

The types of roles Begory already describes for international employers include:

• Construction: masons, carpenters and formwork workers, steel fixers, welders, plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, equipment operators and general site workers. See international recruitment for construction workers.
• Manufacturing and warehousing: production-line workers, machine operators, packers and warehouse staff. See hiring factory workers from Egypt.
• Hospitality: cooks, kitchen staff, waiters, housekeeping and hotel support. See hospitality recruitment.
• Logistics and facilities: drivers (subject to local licensing), storekeepers, cleaners and maintenance helpers.

What is available depends on your brief, salary and conditions, candidate availability, and the occupations your company is allowed to recruit for in your country.

How a Gulf Recruitment Project Usually Runs

1. Brief. You share roles, headcount, experience, salary, accommodation, location and timing.
2. Employer-side eligibility. You confirm that your company can recruit those occupations from abroad, for example quota, Nitaqat, Omanisation or recruitment approval.
3. Sourcing and screening in Egypt. Begory finds and screens candidates against your criteria.
4. Interviews and selection. You interview candidates and make the final decision.
5. Employer-side authorization. You, or your licensed local representative, apply for the work permit, visa or approval through the official channels.
6. Candidate preparation. Begory coordinates candidate-side documents and checks from Egypt, within the agreed scope.
7. Travel only after approval. Travel is arranged only once the required approvals have been issued.
8. Arrival and onboarding. You complete residence, contract registration and onboarding in your country.

Fair Recruitment

Begory supports the principle that workers should not pay recruitment fees or related costs that are prohibited under applicable law or fair-recruitment standards. Candidates should receive clear, written information before they commit, covering the employer, job, salary, deductions, accommodation, working hours and contract length. Several Gulf countries also set their own rules on recruitment costs, wages and passport retention. Each country page summarises the official points we could confirm. Employers can also consult the ILO General Principles and Operational Guidelines for Fair Recruitment.
