the person simply wants to get a job in qatar i guess ? be a tourist , visit visa or a legal employment, it all depends on luck . i knew many tourists who went to USA and some other countries and when they got there they landed in a good job and ended as legal. i also knew many people who got employment visas thru agency in Philippines but unfortunately were abused by employers . i left Philippines as a tourist and i found a good job here in abroad and now i have 2 professional sons.. I am paying my owwa in philippines . let us not be judgemental and perpectionist .
the truth is , the immigration officer is also asking ,money for what ? victims are paying inside the toilet of the airport without receipt and once done they can leave . i myself was a victim and asked for the " keep the chance " only for 50 pesos .. the questions is : why immigration officer are asking for money ??
