I too have a strong doubt as Oryx whether they will let you stay in the country with TB infection, specially if you carry active infection. In addition to blood test they also do chest xray in the medical screening before visa stamping. Don't intend to scare you but I suggest a discussion on this with your doctor before landing up in Qatar.

Good luck

Will they let you in the country with TB???

Sorry to hear you have that and I wish you a full recovery. It was eradicated from my country a long time ago so it scares us.

just bring the doctors prescription with you, and as much as possible have in checked in so that you wont be frisk when you have it hand carried.

i brought all my medications with me, from my asthma, to urticaria, and other inhalers, had it checked in but handcarried the prescriptions, and i had not encountered any problem.

just to share from my side.
