I came to Doha 3 years ago. My employer emailed me a copy of the blue 3 month temporary visa before I left the UK.

It should also be on the computer at the airport, so when you arrive they stamp your pasport with a 3 month visa.

This gives your employer 3 months to get all your paperwok and residence visa etc sorted.

I went to my local CRB agent (lots of businesses do it) in the UK and got a CRB check form and brought it with me to Doha. They seemed happy with that at my employers and I dont think CRB takes very long.
