Employment law
Foreign National Contract
22 June 2026
This type of contract is entered into between the employer and a foreign worker whose presence in Mali is not attributable to the employer.
Unlike other types of contract covered by the Regional Labour Directorate, the foreign worker’s contract is covered by the National Labour Directorate and the ANPE in the form of a work permit.
It is not subject to renewal restrictions and may only be of indefinite duration for foreign nationals whose country grants reciprocal treatment to Malian citizens.
