Residence Card for an Employee

MauritaniaWork

Explore the five recorded questions, answers and sources for this pathway.

Official link

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The applicant needs an employer: a private-sector employment contract with the company, certified by the Labour Directorate; or, for public-sector staff and diplomatic/consular mission staff, a work certificate or employment contract issued by the employing entity or mission.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

For private-sector workers the distinctive element is labour-authority involvement: a company work certificate with a work permit signed by the labour director, or an employment contract certified by the labour administration. The general work-permit application must state the job, post description and detailed professional references. The official source does not state occupation, qualification, salary or shortage criteria.

Limits of the record
  • No occupation, qualification, salary, skill-level or shortage criteria are stated.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

Under the general work-permit decree, an employer may hire a foreign worker only if the worker has first obtained a work permit. Permit A covers a specified job with a specified employer; permit B covers, for four years, a specified salaried job with any employer; permit C covers any salaried job without a time limit. The official source does not state which permit category applies to this route or whether family may accompany.

Limits of the record
  • Which permit category an employee receives is not stated.
  • Family accompaniment is not stated.
  • The captured decree excerpt is fragmentary (a dangling clause 'pendant une durée maximale d’un an renouvelable une fois' follows permit C).

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The biometric resident card is personal and valid for one (1) to five (5) years; foreigners wishing to settle must apply at least 15 days before their visa or entry authorisation expires, and establishment, replacement or renewal requests are made in person at a CAR/Citizens' Reception Centre or remotely through the Houwiyeti system. The official source does not state a longer-term residence direction for employees.

Limits of the record
  • The cited resident-card decree is the general rule for all resident cards, not specific to this route.
  • Longer-term residence direction for employees is not stated.
