Its difficult to get a visa for Pakistani and so is for indians, however its not impossible either. Usually it depends largely on the repute of the sponsoring company.
But its not impossible too. Recently, I have seen many more of Pakistanis around. I think recent visits of prime minister and president would have improved the situation.
if Pakistan could focus and improve on diplomatic relations, Qatar could offer great opportunities for many qualified and dedicated professionals of pakistan.
By the way total population share of pakistanis in Qatar is only 4% :)
All Qatar GOVT oranizations like QP , QCHEM e.t.c having too much Paki work visas now and people are coming in strengths like 30 people together and recently its happened in Qatar Water / Electricity company and even all local companies are having the visas .... yes in othercase if you want to purchase by your own subsequently it will be costing you around 40K QR even now it is second highest cost visa of visa in Qatar, the first highest cost of visa is Irani Visa around 65K QR.
Take care buddies..... I am Pakistani as well working in Qatar since 2007... If you want even one visa go Doha Jadeed near Grand Mosque area whcih is called Pathan Area and ask with any Pathan .... he will arrange a visa for you .. may cost around 45K QR :) .... enjoy with this information hahahahhaha
No ,the actual condition is not this that pakistani visas block or something else but pakistani indian and irani visas are selling by authorities qp ras gas water electricity dept.and many companies hiring the employeees from pakistan.but it is luck that which one selected .So hope for the best.
Yes I got my approved Visa of Finance Manager through email on 6th of July.
Now I have resigned from my current company and on notice period for one month. I am trying to reduce this period because my new employer want me to join earlier.
This type of situation is always difficult because current employer will not leave you before you complete notice period and future employer will always pressure you to join as soon as possible.
I have one more confusion regarding visa. My employer told me that they have approved visa of Finance Manager and Later they wiLl convert it to IT Manager visa as it will take more time to convert visa at this stage. I believe it won't make any difference, kindly share your experience. Thanks
Thanks for your reply. I did the same and my employer is also agreed. Now I am waiting for my visa and will resign from current company after getting it.
Do you have any idea how much time it will take for me to bring my family in Qatar once I am there.
first make sure your work visa is approved and issued, only after that inform your current employer in Dubai about your resignation.. not any earlier..
Well i had heard that there was a Ban... but now its now.. Infact my friend's cousin came to Qatar few days back from Pakistan on a work visa.. But he bought the visa which is worth QR 40,000/-
Qatar since 1980 [my birth year]. I can say that since 2001 attacks, things got worst for Pakistanis especially along with few other nationalities.
.
Pakistanis with dual nationality can get visa here very easily but with our own NATIONAL PASSPORT it's a quite NIGHTMARE.
.
I cannot even bring my own brother in law in Qatar only because of MOL restrictions which i'm well aware of & this is very very sad for all Pakistanis.
.
Only on Diplomatic levels, it can be sort out but still it was done in the past but never effected our status in Qatar coz our politicians just filled their own pockets with money & support for their personal greed/need.
.
Guys you might know that few weeks back PM of Bangladesh went to SAUDI and asked for some lose VISA laws for her Nationals as 500k Bangalis are working in Saudia & guess what the govt of Saudia did ease Visa restrictions to Bangalis. Now they can easily change their sponsorship.
.
Only our Government/Embassy can make difference by really doing efforts on DIPLOMATIC LEVELS.
I hope you may have got your visa by this time.If it is not,ask your company.I got the initial work visa of two months in India and last week i got my Permanent visa and Work Permit.It totally depends upon your sponsor.I am telling this because i have came accross this situation.I was to fly to UAE but i could not as i was not having Permanent work visa.When my Project Manager cane to know this,he bambooed PRO and Immigration Depptt of company and i finally got the Permanent Work Visa very next day.
If you didnt get it till now,you need to be some harsh with your sponsor.This will surely work.

Amir

with VISA problems must write letter to our EMBASSY so (may be) they might start thinking about it SERIOUSLY
which i really doubt it UNFORTUNATELY

Hi Anewguy,
I signed up the offer letter on 31st dec 2007 and recieved the copy of visa in email.
They also called me on phone and informed me about it.
Hey kbakhan Congrat
When did you signed the offer with your bank ??
and how did they inform you , did they send the visa directly to your email or the bank called you or what ??
I have signed offer letter and mailed the documents on 7 of jan. And I still to receive visa. I think it is too long. How much I still have to wait?
Is there any chances in rejection of work visa?
