..am a newbie in this forum and i have learned a lot even before i set foot in qatar..i was even witness to some bickerings that sometimes clouds the issues being discussed (like what i have read just now)..if it would help, i am offered a Work Visa for qatar..also, i have met someone who also holds a business visa for a mideast job which, i believe, is a legitimate visa..if your business visa is a legitimate one issued by a company in qatar, that company should be backing you up until you arrive in qatar - you shouldn't be putting the burden on yourself to be able to go to qatar..if they need you, they should help you arrive..
