Expatriate contract

This is a fixed-term contract granted to foreign nationals whose presence in Mali is due to their employer.

This implies that the employer is the reason for their status as a foreign national and that, at the end of this contract, they will leave the country.

Like the foreign national’s contract, the expatriate’s contract is approved by the National Labour Directorate and the ANPE in the form of a work authorisation (or work permit).

Expatriate status is valid for a maximum of 10 years.

By virtue of their privileged status, expatriates are entitled, in addition to their salary, to the following

• Expatriation allowance (40 per cent of the basic salary)
• Transport,
• Accommodation and domestic staff,
• Paid leave: 5 days per month of service,
• Return travel to their country of residence, once a year,
• Return journey at the end of the contract, regardless of the reason for termination.
