How much time it usually takes to Get Qatar Visa ?
Hi, I am from Pakistan and i got job offer recently from well reputed company in Doha, Qatar.
Now its over 3 weeks and i still haven't got my visa. The company's HR says they haven't received any response from their immigration department yet.
What does it mean? is there any issue in issuance of Qatari Visa to Pakistani.
Interestng new KHAN....... So, who is welling these visas and why aren't the authorities clamping down..
Those who suffer are the ones who buy such visas
Live, May all your wishes be fulfilled by the Almighty very soon ..............
Yes there is issue with Pakistani Visa. Your PM when he comes for the visit talks about it, but when he returns back home he forgets. You need to tell your PM about this. Remind him again and again. Please note in the Black Visa Market, the Pakistani visa is around Qatar riyals 45,000/- and Pakistanis are poorly paid and this cause them to look for quick revenue jobs which may not be good for the society.
@MM thank you so much for your comments
uetian: There is no fixed time.. You are dependent on the ministries and the company PRO..
Remember , just don't resign from your current job
We can do nothing but wait.
The problem is few guys on internet have written that it may take 6+months. Actually waiting for something is very annoying.

Mufti, It's due to Almighty we move our hand ..... we are able to inhale .......... nothing happens without His order ............
Blame Almighty for some human rejecting the visa application.
Live, There is nothing like that, if the Almighty has written Qatar food & water in your name , you will come here for sure may be one / two weeks earlier or later .......... We welcome you here .......... all smiles ........
It's fine am ready to wait another 2 or 3 weeks for the visa.but am afraid that after all that waiting the visa get rejected. Is there any problems for giving Moroccan girls visa ?
Brit, Wrong perception.If it's in front of eyes ....... we will bring on board a person who shows more enthusiasm ................
Bide your time.. If you pester them too much , they may take offenc and delay the processe
@liveanewlife.....I think it will only annoy them.
do you think keeping asking the HR services will accelerate the process ?
Both your points are valid and true.. Usually big organizations will have the means to get the visas - However, it may take negotiations and talking to different entities..
As I said before - Be patient and keep plugging away.. I'm sure it will work out..
@britexpat......i 've got offer from Mannai Corporation; I believe its a big company in Qatar. I 've heard that big companies can get visa in less time as compared to small ones. Moreover i have read that this process can go upto more than 6 months.
Is it true?
It is pointless stressing yourself.. The visa process can be long winded - It is best not to resign from your existing job and constantly keep in contact with HR regarding progress
Good luck!
@uetian am from Morocco the company is a food and beverage company. It's a big one I believe.
@liveanewlife.... .where you from? What about your employer ? Whether your company is big or just a small one ?
hi all
am in the same situation here waiting for my work visa.the statue in MOI shows it's under procees.i have been waiting for 6 weeks now!!!
is there a chance that the work visa get rejected .?
Thanks all for your replies.
@kashif_au.....yeah they have applied for new visa....i am in pakistan.... how much time new visa takes ? Do you have any experience in this regard ? Are you from Pakistan?
@britexpat....if it takes months then one must not wait for it because may be in the mean time one gets better offer.
@mejmi......are you guys from Pakistan?
Hi. I my husband's case he had his visa in 2weeks after the company submitted all the requirements. It is the same with some of his workmates.
Check the status of your visa online.
brit, Doha is Qatar, but Delhi is not India.
Surprised that Qatar is above India !!!
Wonder what criteria was used
So, if you're coming from Pakistan, you are better off. From the most polluted into the second most polluted country in the world. At least, a small step forward.
Means company applied new visa for you as they dont have in hand.
So it will take time.
R u recruited locally or u in Pakistan?
"Qatar ranked the second-most polluted country in the world in 2014 after Pakistan, a recently released World Health Organization (WHO) report showed." Source: World Health Organization.
Yes, Polluted with humbleness , polluted with mutual give & take between the residents , polluted with the generous souls ................. yes we are polluted .............
breath in the Qatari air ..........which is one of the most polluted air in the world.
It may be 6 month before you breath in the Qatari air ..........
From what I hear, Pakistani visas are somewhat difficult to get. However, as Britexpat has suggested, just be patient. Sometimes, it may take weeks to get a visa. Three weeks is just too short a waiting period. There are people writing at Qatar Living who have been waiting for months for their visas and ask the same question as you have.
Wait patiently ............
The simple answer is that there is no fixed time. It can take months in some cases.
The best option is to be patient; don't resign from your current job till you actually have the visa and contact your hiring company periodically for updates..
