Mohammad Jabr, Visa on arrival is a TOURIST visa by its nature, with only difference that for the certain nationalities this tourist visa is available at the airport upon arrival, without applying in advance in their coutries.

But it is still TOURIST visa, and therefore it is illegal to work on the type of visa..

The only legal work visa for the short-term employment/consultancy/ internatioanl companies meetings and worksops, etc. is a BUSINESS visa.

to have Business visa, and/or on Arrival visa these are the only 2 visas allows you to work in Qatar.

and by the way these 2 visas are extendable, Business Visa you can extended for another 2 months, and the On Arrival visa you can extended for another one month.

to work on a visit visa, not for money and not even for free.

Otherwise you must apply for a business visa.

Nope, completely illegal. Your employer should have gotten you a business visit visa. It allows for working in Qatar on a temporary basis.

Do you mean you came in on a tourist/visitor's visa and are now in the process of obtaining a work visa/residency permit? Your visitor's visa is good for 30 days, renewable once, as a UK citizen. Your employer must have started your RP work within 7 days of your arrival.
