  Passports of Expatrates

  Hi Friends,

  There is a commonly prevailing practice among employers here in Oman (and possibly in most other Gulf countries)to insist on their expatriate employees to deposit their passports with the employer.
  Is this a legally valid practice? What are the relevant Govt (Ministry of Manpower- MoM) guidelines? Heard that MoM had issued a circular some time back stating clearly that the practice is illegal. Can any one throw further light in this matter and get a copy of the circular or tell where one can get a copy of it?

  Am looking for the same. Please share your thoughts
