Hello All,

I am an American and have accepted a job in Qatar. My company has told me they do not have a ready Visa fo my nationality and need to change one. Does any one know what this is and how long it will take to get a visa so I can start work. I have read a lot of threads here but there seems to be much conflicting info. Any help would be great thanks.

I have been waiting for the past 3 months and still no sign when I might get the work visa.

There are several others who are also waiting. I know cases when the work visa got approved in 3 weeks and others in 7 months. I have no idea why it takes so long with some (such as me) and on what basis you get the work visa approval quickly.

Which company are you going to work for?

Prem thanks, do you have any idea how long it should take for a work permit. Is t a quick thing or are we talking months. I will get a hold of you if they don't seem to be doing anything.

Sunshine,

tanks I was just wondering how long it takes to get a work permit. My contract is signed and the company is working on it. I thought I would be there already and I am just trying to schedule my time. Any and all help appreciated.

Thanks

I m not sure wht kind of visa u hav entered qatar. maybe its a visa received on entry which might be valid for 14 days to a month.

Inorder for u to work in qatar , u need a work permit visa tht shud be applied by ur company. Maybe thts y they need to change ur visa.

u can check further the ministry of interior website on any website abut visas in qatar. but for u to be able to work in qatar, u need a work permit visa only n no other visa.

Hope this is helpful.
