Hi

I got job offer from Hamad International Airport as I posted before and after sent them signed offer letter ,they E-mailed me ''We are in the process of issuing you a business visa to enter Qatar and once here will transfer you to work visa status''
I just want to know why they dont get Work Visa by now? is that happened for anyone else?
and what if after I get there,they could'nt transfer business visa to work visa due to some ban nationality!as I'm a persian..

This is normal, you need to be here in Qatar to get work visa

Getting job in ME is always risky business and thats why it pays off ... Just make sure that you negotiate a package well and make sure you understand that many things here are going to be much expensive them Paris.

hey,
you enter qatar on a business visa, then once you arrive you have to have a medical check as well as a few other things. then you can get your working visa nad Qatar ID.
Its normal and I have seen the process last from 3 weeks to 2 months.
