How true that Philippine Immigrations put stamp on the passport not allowed to work if you are coming to Qatar in visit, tourist visa and business visa?

Alexam: what do you mean by OFW passport and tourist passport? you have 2 passports? You went to singapore for vacation or transit to doha? If they stamped your passport with not allowed to work, what is your status right now? If you already have RP, how were you able to obtain it? thanks.

Maybe it's true. It happened to me when I was about to leave for Singapore as a tourist but I was having my OFW passport and I was refused at the immigration. He said I need to have a tourist passport. So I got delayed and have to get a tourist passport. In your case maybe he was having a tourist passport then immigration has a reason to stamp his passport not allowed to work since he is a tourist and going to a country that is hiring Filipinos OFW'S. This is to prevent undocumented OFW or smuggled Filipinos disguised as tourist but will be looking for jobs once they reach their final destination. This modus operandi is not new with some crooked immigration officers in cahoots with the smugglers. Maybe it is the policy of PNOY administration to be vigilant about this human smuggling. You can ask the Philippine Embassy for proper guidance and information.

There's a saying: "Only in the Philippines!" but wait there's more "Only in the Philippines and Philippine Embassies!"

I already heard this news before... you can ask the agencies here who process those kinds of visa... I believe they can confirm this info. I'm also planning to get someone from Phil. and change it to work visa when she arrives in Doha. If you have any other info pls inform us. thank you.
