"Mechanic" Designation on work Visa

Amazyinguy
By Amazyinguy

I have recently got a work visa from an Oil&Gas company of Qatar. But the problem is that the designation on that Visa is MECHANIC, which is different from the one on which am getting job and different from the Designation on the Offer letter. I am an IT consultant and got the job offer for an IT position.

When i contacted them through the recruiting firm their HR replied that due to urgency and shortage of visa for Pakistani nationals we issued visa of MECHANIC designation, they also said that the Visa designation could be changed once i come there and residence will be applied.

My friends say that i shouldnt go on MECHANIC work visa becuase there are some restrictions related to family visa and on arrival visa for gcc countries on this designation. there may be more limitations that we dont know.

Kindly suggest me what should i do. The offer is very lucrative, the salary package is around 20k. Please elaborate in detail, tell me about the issues and limitations on this job designation and also is it possible that i could be changed once i go there, if it doesnt change what problems will i be facing there.

Please reply on urgent basis!
Thanks
