I'm a new member here and planning to work in Qatar and my target month to leave is August or September. My cousin submitted my CV to her employer a month ago but until now no update yet from the HR Manager so she told me to get business visa instead and apply personally. She knows someone who processes visa and the asking amount is 4,500QR but didn't mention me how long is the effectivity of that visa. She was told also too for me if I like to extend I have to pay 800QR per month (sigh).I think it's quite expensive since I will only ask help from my relatives to lend me money. What can you say? Also are there travel agencies you can suggests that offers affordable visas so I can tell my cousin? Should I get visit vista instead?....help me po...

This is why Qatar is full of unemployed people wandering the streets b!tching and moaning. Why can't people just follow the rules?

Business visas are meant for visiting business people to do business then leave again after their business. In general the cost should be borne by the host company.

Visit visas are for others to visit for a short period then leave again after their visit.

Qatar really needs to clamp down on this illegal visa trade.
