As a Recruitment Executive, let me state my knowledge about Work Visas as follows :
1. Qatar Work Visa is of 2 kinds, namely : Temporary or Permanent
Provided that all requirements are complete and submitted on time,
2. Qatar Temporary Work Visa is issued for a duration of 3 to 6 months ( this kind of work visa is easier to process, and it takes about 3 days to a maximum of 7 days to process).
During the 3 to 6 months period (as the OFW is already working in Qatar), a Permanent Work Visa has to be processed and issued before the expiration of the Temporary one.
2. While Qatar Permanent Work Visa is of 2 types, namely Single and Multiple.
Single Permanent Work Visa is issued for 1 year only, such that when an OFW is to exit after 1 year of service and re-enter, his re-entry visa will have to be secured again before he takes his vacation. Processing takes 4 to 6 weeks.
While Multiple Permanent Work Visa is issued for 2 years or more , such that an OFW can exit and re-enter as frequent as necessary but using the same visa, provided that the exits and re-entries are approved by his Employer and government authorities. The point here is , he uses the same visa throughout the visa duration of 2 years or more. Processing of this type takes about 6 to 8 weeks provided that all requirements are complete and submitted on time. It is also important that follow up with the Visa section has to be made by HR staff regularly. Understandably, thorough security check involving required NOC may further lengthen the processing and eventual issuance.
