I received last week copy of my business visa thru my email.

Since this is a business visa, POEA is not required.

Do i need to get my passport with the visa sticker here at Qatar Embassy thru DHL express?

How about the Medical Check-up, is it  required or authorised to have it here in the Philippines prior to departure?

What documents are required in immigration aside from the passport, visa copy & ticket?

Hoping to hear from you guys.

Thanks!

Here in Qatar Immigration they will only look for your Passport with Business Visa Sticker on your passport page, coz everything is in their system and Medical Reports from Phils is not a requirement.However, it is totally a different scenario in Philippine Immigration as they have all the power not to allow you to travel to Qatar. As i heard from a reliable source, the Phil Immigration Officer will ask you a lot of papers/documents which are not at all relevant to a Business Visa holder. In short, gusto lang nilang mangotong.

how is the business visa situation in philppine immigration? because they said one's you're holding business visa your chances are 50/50, because immigration having doubt that you'll entry Qatar for work later not for business especially if your business visa from company not in travel agent or hotel business visa....

My female cousin came here as business visa. for the medical, no need to undergo in the Philippines since you're  holding a business visa. If your reason is to come here for business visa first then transfer to working visa later, you'll get the medical exam here once you have an employer in order to get the national ID (pataka). All you need when travelling is the visa, passport and ticket.

Hope it helps..

You need to authenticate your business visa in Qatar Embassy, Philippines thru DHL Express. Just visit any DHL office and they will help you. Your passport, your two way ticket and your business visa is all that you need to exit. Plus you need to pay the airport tax and travel tax. That's all. It's an added advantage if you have a medical report with you stating that you're cleared from any disease. Blood, urine, stool test and x-ray result is sufficient. You need to undergo medical test in Medical Commission here if you intend to stay for more than a month or you intend to extend your visa for another 3 months. Good luck.
