Taking the experience of Nepalese Embassy and myself in Qatar, main problems frequently faced by the workers within the country (Qatar ) that have been identified are:

Non payment of salary.
Difference in nature of work.
Unexpected death count.
Deportation Camp problem .
Low salary.
Lack of facilities.
Non stamping of residential permit (visa).
Non sending on time to the home country.
Physical and mental harassment .
Lack of understanding of the legal provisions in the country of employment..

Despite these problems there are some other cases which are legally not permissible by law of the land but happening because of the weakness in the implementation part.
Mostly companies do not follow the labor law and they do not treat their workers on humanitarian ground. Because of such tendency workers have to obtain the help of the embassy with different problems.
Out of 738 cases recorded in the embassy in the first three months of the year ’06 the following problems are predominant for Nepalese workers in Qatar. There is not only one cause of the problems and problems are in the same case.
In other words worker does not come with a single problem. If a company is not good, it stops the payment of salary of its workers, does not stamp the residence permit, does not send them back in time, does not behave well with the workers and does not pay overtime allowance at the same time. Therefore, the case of non payment, and non- stamping has been repeated.
Undergoing these problems, many of the expatriate workers in Qatar are in complicate situations. They leave their country in search of better future but finds their life is terrible in the country where they look for their future.
120 people died during their stay in Qatar according to the record based on the death list of year 2005, death figure raised in year 2006 by 28 more people.
Mitery Club of Qatar with Coordination of Nepal Embassy and some donors has helped children of the deceased for free scholarship education and have plan to increase the scholarship till the technical Graduate level Education .
A Nepalese national named Lakha Bahadur Jabegu, is now in great need of help. He arrived in Qatar Airport in fake Business Visit Visa . Though the visa was fraud, his passport was chopped and was hence permitted to enter Qatar, through the Qatar Airport.
He pay The total cash paid to agent is 85000 Nepali Rupees, which is approximately 4500QR. He was brought in our Safe House by the relative
During all this was happening, Lakha Badhaur was still unaware of the trouble that is yet to come. Now, his 14 days visa is expired and has no means to return Nepal. Everyday Penalty in Qatar will cost him 500QR,
As his Visa is Business Visa. He is a very simple guy and much too young to get in all these trouble. He may have to stay in jail for a long time that may cost his future.
He still can return Nepal through CID. But there he will have to Pay the Penalty and the main thing is the Air ticket. At present he is staying in the safe house. He told us that same people are more then 10 in Qatar but no body no where they are ?

Thanks again For giving me an opportunity to share my little social services experience in Qatar ,

“Help us, give them hope ”
