Hi, I'm being sponsored by a company in Qatar to come over and work, and they want to pay me in Cash/Cheque is this normal? if so, what bank should one use to put money in?

Thank you for all your answers. The company is arranging everything for me i.e Visa, Accommodation, etc etc. However they said my monthly wages will be in a form of Cash/Cheque.

Sounds a pretty piss poor company!

Usually the only people paid in cash here are labourers.

Payments shoud be done via salary transfer to an account the company will set up for you. This way you have an ATM card that can be used almost everywhere here in Qatar.

If paid in cheque, it can be exchanged at any branch from the issuing bank, meaning of course you will have to go to the bank and wait.

Now is up to you...best of luck!!

For what payment does the company requires you to pay?

You should clarify it to them as this is unusual, you might be a victim of scam..
