How Long Does It Take To Issue A Visa?
By nottmbantam •
Dear QLers,
Anyone know - on average - how long it takes for the Ministry to issue a Visa?
I'm a UK expat, and have now sent all my documents to the company in Doha, who have today ( I think ) submitted the visa application. Providing that all is in order - and it should be - how long will it take them to get a visa on my behalf?
I've been told about a week. Does this sound about right? I'm still waiting to hand in my resignation here in Saudi which I can't really do until I get the Qatari Visa, so hopefully it should be a quick and simple process.
TIA.
No idea if they have any 'wasta' with the Immigration. As far as I know, they only submitted the paperwork yesterday, and I don't know this for a fact, they certainly RECEIVED all MY paperwork yesterday / day before.
It's a pretty big employer, part state owned, so would imagine they can do it pretty quickly?
Thanks for the info.
we are getting our bussines visa's at the end of the working day :) same day visa's hehe .
working visa takes maximum 3 days to get issued , guess your comapny doesnt have good influance in Immgration :)

it depends if the employer is really working things out. usually 10-30 days.goodluck
