Job Interview in Qatar

4officers
By 4officers

My husband has recently been shortlisted for a position in Doha and was told by the human resources department at the company that they would organise his visa documentation and get back to us with a likely interview date. This was about three weeks ago and we haven’t heard any more. He has emailed once for an update but has received no response.
Does anyone know whether the visa process (he is on a New Zealand passport) takes a lot of time? Is it considered impolite in Qatar for my husband to chase his contact at the company and ask for an update in person?

News article below was published last 08-Nov 2008 as it says, visit visa on HOLD until Dec 5, 2008, maybe this is the reason...pls reaad below.

Visit visas on hold until December 5

MANY hotels in Qatar have been asked not to submit visit and tourist visa applications until December 5 in view of a UN-sponsored development conference in Doha, Gulf Times has learnt.

The authorities have put a moratorium on issuing such visas as many of the hotels have been booked to host the delegates who are expected for the international conference on financial development beginning on November 29, sources said.

A circular sent by the Immigration Department to one of the five-star hotels reads: “Tourist/Visit Visa processing has been stopped by the Immigration Department from November 4, 2008 for one month. Acceptance of applications will be resumed after the United Nations Conference, by December 5, 2008.”
