Moving to Qatar - Work permit and Visa Concerns

Dear All,

I am planning to move to Qatar in couple of months. Had an initial work offer and will be moving if everything goes well. My concern is about working visa permits. Does anyone have any idea whether they are allowing work permits to Lebanese people or is it temporarily not feasible for one reason or another. Many had similar experiences and left their jobs in Lebanon and went there where after 3 months they did not have their work permit done so they returned losing their current job and with more payments with no outcome. Please if anybody can provide any assistance in this subject kindly assist me before i do leave my job as well as country.

its kinda unclear for now , but I heard that they are giving permits again ,but I advice you to stay at your current job for now , and never leave it until the visa is issued , and never listen hear to expectations from people or the company HR as no one can guess it , I was told it'll take a week(from the HR) and now its more than 35 days (I Left my previous job here in Lebanon a month ago and now stuck home doing nothing)
