I was selected for a doctor's job in Jan 2017. My Dataflow PSV was successfully completed in mid Feb. I am now waiting for the evaluation and licensing, which is carried out through my employers representative from the Qatar Supreme council.

Does anybody know how long this process takes to complete?

Thanks in advance!!

just an update for others who might be suffering as I did...

I gave the interview for Qatar Red Crescent in January.

They gave me an offer, valid for 45 days on 09 Jan 2017.

Their indian agent (Charisma) took all my papers and collected INR 75,000 towards licencing and 1,33,000 towards agency charges. On 09 Feb, I tracked my passport number on the Supreme council of health website and got to know that the dataflow was through.

After that , crickets......

Kept calling the agent...got various excuses.

Emailed QRCS...no response.

Called QRCS....NOBODY KNEW NOTHING,!!

By mid M.ay....started thinking SCAM!!!

Now in July, they sent me the visa!

Too bad, I have already joined a Dubai hospital.

Dubai interview to joining....6 weeks!

Evaluation takes minimum 25 working days if all your documents are correct and no issues with experience certificates.

In meanwhile you keep your certificates attested from HRD and MEA.

Once evaluation done. Ur sponsor will issue issue. U need to come over..

Things you need to get after you come to qatar.(takes around 15-20 days)

1. Attest documents again at Indian embassy

2. Attest documents at MOFA

3. Medical test

4. Apply for resident permit.

5. Appy for temporary licence.
