Work Visa Restrictions for Pakistanis

MUH
By MUH

Does anybody know if Qatar authorities are issuing work visas to Pakistani citizens or have imposed some sort of restrictions?
I was offered a job and submitted all the required docs, after waiting for a month i was told by HR that the request was refused first time round and has been reapplied for. HR says it is currently "under process" Anyone know if its likely to be approved and any possible reasons for it taking so long?

I was hired by a multinational oil & gas company not a govt or Q company. Perhaps that could be the reason for the delay????

Thanks for your inputs really appreciate it. Guess all i can do is wait...Hopefully Inshallah ill get it soon

Ramadan is still 2 months away.... Anyways it depends on the HR it self...

Nothing is banned for Pakistanis, not Visit or Family or Work Visa...

Currently Immigration is Issuing Pakistani Work Visas in a weeks time...

incase if there were bad eggs in HR to create obstacle on your way, you wouldn't get anything. pakistani visas either work or visit are thoroughly being restricted & as ramadan gonna start, everything stops for short period. nothing to get worry about dear, professionals are welcome anyway everywhere :b

It might be the HR who is hiding their inefficiency and making some stories. Otherwise Qatar Govt don't have any ruling about Pakistani visas. And this doesn't make sense also, as Pakistani community is not more in number than Indian and Flipino here in Qatar.

Which company hired you... If it is a "Q" Company or Govt owned then they will approve your visa within a weeks time and if a private company then it takes time, but lots of Pakistanis are coming on work visa...
