Work Visa Question

I accepted a job offer in May 2011 and was issued with a work entry visa (the paper version) whilst I was in my home country. However, due to personal issues, I was unable to move to Qatar. The paper visa had a 6 month validity and expired in Nov 2011. In the meantime, I lived and worked (with a valid work visa and RP)in another GCC country. I am now in the final stages of interviewing for a company in Qatar and entered the country (and left) on a business visit visa which I obtained without hassle.

Should I have any issue getting a work visa if I am successful with this opportunity?

Please note that I DID NOT ever enter the country on the 2011 visa, have never had a Qatar RP, ended the opportunity amicably with the other employer and entered and left the country for the first time, without hassle, on my business visit visa last month.

No worries..Come to Qatar anytime and get another work visa..The rule is as long u did not enter qatar there should be no problem.

As far as i know ,If Qatar RP visa was not stamped on your passport then no problem ,you can enter the country and process your Qatar RP with new employer.Also your old visa is already expired so the company in Qatar can issue a new work visa.

Please also check with your company HR before to be safer side.
