Hi, Can any Pakistani National advise me if Pakistani officials don't allow to leave for Qatar prior to coming to Qatar with out clearing the medical in Pakistan.


I have been told that it's a new requirement that any person with Qatar employment visa must clear some medical in Pakistan prior to coming to Qatar.


Any one knows about this law or rule?


 


Thank You

welcome..and yup.. police clearence also :)its not only for our nationality.. its for all buddy...if u are visiting for the first time..1. do the medical,2. take police clearence certificate,3. apply for NICOP(oversease pakistani card) just apply for that and keep the copy.4. when u buy ticket, they will do the insurance as well(if first time coming to qatar) charges were 5000rupees last year.. its called protector (kinda insurance)(btw ur city?)best of luck...

thanks, looks like a big headech now to get a new RP, rules are getting tuffer and tuffer everywhere for our nationality.

I don't have time to go through this all as I need to go offshore. Just hoping that everything will go as planned.

Thanks again - bari maharbani

may be, before it wasnt present, but last year when i was coming here.. i did medical in pakistan, though they just checked it at airport in pakistan, then i kept it in my file thats all, cox when u come to qatar, they will do another medical test of you, passing that (and clearing criminal record) means you can get your RP
