Requesting Help on the Entry/Exit Visas for US Citizens in Qatar
By qatarlivingnow •
Can someone have any information if the employers in Qatar hold the Passport of Westerners (US Citizens in particular) or do the employees have it in their possession. Also can someone please shed some light and guidance on the issuance of Entry/Exit Visas/Permits for US Citizens working in Qatar. Greatly appreciate all input and feedback.
Go to Ministry of Labour
What about if the sponsor refuse to give u exit permit?For example he is not answering the call or not replaying any message or email?What is the next step?
US passport holders are eligible for a visit visa on arrival. It is illegal for anyone other than the person who is named in the passport to hold it no matter what their nationality. The passport is the property of the government that issued it.
Exit permits are issued by employers/sponsors upon request and are not supposed to be withheld except in very specific circumstances. If the sponsor agrees, a multiple exit permit can be applied for that is good for one year. The holder can exit at will.
