Hi everyone,
I just got my business visit visa to Qatar for 14 days, i just printed it and my employer said that he will just process it for working visa in Qatar. Is it true na kelangan pa send sa Qatar embassy here in the Phils for authentication? What are the papers 2 be submitted? Will they question me at the immigration? Please advise!!!

yes, being a lady, you will get all the impossible questions in the world. like money matters, why are you going, who sponsored you... and so on... not only that more checks will be made in check in counter.... one wrong answer and you have to rebook your ticket... make sure your company shall pay rebooking charges.... never say you will work here...cheers

yup! dalin mo lng sa DHL express khit san branch! bring your visa notice and original passport! pa xerox mo nrin pra sure. and sa airport 750 pesos for the terminal fee. travel tax 1700 pesos. kpag qatar airways un 2way ticket mo di na ata need mag bayad ng travel tax. pro pra sure magdala knarin ng extra money pra wlang hassle sa airport! and tip pgdting mo sa immigration pumila ka kng saan hindi msydo matanong un immigration officer, mkkta mo nman un kng nagsasalita cya or tahimik lng,,hehe! gudluck!

you just need to bring your visa notice and your passport to DHL express. and they will send it to Qatar embassy for authentication. bring also a xerox copy of your visa and passport. i think the payment is 750 pesos. just wait for 3-4 working days! gudluck po!

yup, u have to bring your copy of visa, passport and certification from the company, who sponsor your visa to DHL. i did this when i got my business visit visa last year. to be sure you can ask any DHL branch what are the requirements you need to submit to the Embassy.

You have to send it to Qatar Embassy for "translation" because our Immigration officials on the Airport don't read Arabic, so they have no way of knowing what type of Visa you are using.

“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.”

You have to send it to the Qatar Embassy in Makati to have it authenticated. Have it delivered by a courier, I think DHL does it.
