Visa Issue

Dear All,

Brief history: I have been offered a job in a bank located in Doha. The HR department of the bank emailed me saying that they are awaiting my Visa on March 13, 2014. Today after a month i logged on http://www.moi.gov.qa/VsaWeb/Actions?action=getVisaInfoInput&language=English where I entered my passport number and nationality i.e. pakistani. A message poped up claiming that there are no records found. I then emailed on the email address provided on the website on which they told me that they are also getting the same message therefore I need to check with my employer.

Query 1: In this regard, do you think has my employer applied for my visa? if yes then why is it not showing on the website? and why is the ministry asking me to check with my employer? kindly advise as to what I should do in such a situation?

Query 2: I have heard Qatar is not issuing visas to pakistani nationals, how far is this correct?

@hasnain: if its not showing on website that doesn't mean they didn't apply for your visa and mostly HR guys are very lazy...

Patience my dear.

1. Yes, they applied you a visa but unfotunately it is still awaiting approval. The website will only show visas that are approved.

2. There are times issued visas depend on nationality and gender as well.
