WHO WE ARE
Masdar EOR made a deliberate choice: go deep in one region instead of wide across many. For 17-plus years we’ve built our own in-country entities across the Gulf, rather than routing your team through outsourced, third-party partners.
We work only across the six GCC markets, not 150 countries thinly. That focus is our depth.
Onboarding, payroll, visa, and HR teams work on the ground in every country for fast mobilisation.

Masdar EOR is a direct, licensed Employer of Record that has operated across six GCC countries for over 17 years: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. Our in-country entities let global companies compliantly hire, deploy, and manage workers in the Gulf without establishing a local legal entity.
An Employer of Record is a licensed company that legally employs workers on behalf of another business. The EOR becomes the official employer on paper, handling payroll, visas, benefits, and compliance with local labour law, while you direct the employee’s day-to-day work.
No. That’s the core benefit of an Employer of Record. Masdar EOR’s own in-country entities legally employ your staff in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, or Bahrain on your behalf, so you can hire and pay compliantly without registering a local company of your own.
Setting up a foreign subsidiary is slow and costly: legal, accounting, and administrative overhead, plus months of registration. With Masdar EOR you can hire and pay employees within days, avoid those setup costs, and scale your workforce up or down without a long-term commitment.
All six GCC countries: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. Each one runs through our own direct entity or licensed manpower platform, never a third-party partner.
Yes. We manage the full visa and work-permit process: applications, renewals, and compliance, including employment-visa sponsorship in each country and processing via authorities such as MoHRE and GDRFA in the UAE.
Yes. In Saudi Arabia we hold Green Nitaqat status, the top compliance tier, and manage Saudization; in the UAE we comply with Emiratisation rules; and in Oman we manage Omanisation quotas. Every market is handled in line with its localisation and labour requirements.
Yes. We provide consolidated payroll across multiple GCC countries through a single platform: accurate salary disbursement, statutory contributions such as GOSI, PIFSS, and PASI, and WPS-compliant processing. Pricing is fixed, with full reporting included.
Because our onboarding, payroll, visa, and HR teams operate locally within each market, we can mobilise new hires within days. That eliminates the months-long process of establishing a local entity.
Fixed, transparent fees with no hidden costs. We do not apply VAT on the total invoice. VAT is only relevant to health insurance where applicable, and our pricing includes VAT on all charges.
Masdar EOR supports companies across a wide range of industries expanding into the Gulf, from technology and energy to construction, professional services, and more.
No. Masdar EOR operates a direct service model with its own entities and manpower licenses in every GCC country we serve, avoiding intermediaries and keeping the process faster and more efficient.
