Im from the philippines and I really love to go to Qatar and work there. My sister is working there for almost 2years. That's why I want to work there. but, I have a problem with my Chest Xray. Everytime I have a medical check-up, the fibroid scars in my right upper lobe always appears. My sister said that if I go there and work there in Qatar, they are very strict in medical check-up especially in chest X-ray. When there is findings like in my case, They will not allow me to stay and work in their country. Is't true that if I go there, there is no employer will accept me and they will deport me immediately?

Just for your info, my friend just left Qatar last night because of having a scar in the lung. He was able to get a medical certifacate there in the Phil and was able to come to Qatar and work. But he didn't pass the medical exam here. His company couldn't do anything to help him because of the strict rules here.

Your sister is correct...you will not be able to work here with a scar on your lung. If you can get a medical permit from the Philippines, and later on the Health Ministry here found out about the scar after the xray, you can be banned from entering Qatar, more so if you came thru an agency, then that agency will be in biggggggg trouble.

Sorry, but that's reality. Try other country besides Qatar. You might find your luck somewhere else.

Hi, if you can get Medical Certificate from the ministry, I think there is no problem getting a work here in Doha.

Good Luck
