blood test
By Martyn St Helens •
Hello all
Was led to beleive I need blood test in Qatar upon arrival, but now employee says this is only for work permits and not visas. Is this true? What are the differences between a work permit and a visa please
well Im working there for upto a year. Everything has been arranged by employee but he said in his e-mail visa is sorted but nothing about a work permit - weird
if u're coming in on just a tourist visa or visit visa ( i'm not sure whether it applies to a business visa as well) then you won't need to do a blood test. It's only if you are applying for a residence permit
You will need a blood test for HIV, Hep A and B for your residency permit. This will allow you to live and work in Qatar.

I thought the blood test was needed to become resident? So to stay in the country you'd need one but not if just visiting.
