Hi kabayan! Direct hire ako. I have my working visa and signed emploeyment contract. I planned to legally process naman my documentation however the POLO in Doha does not allow direct hire daw. I am a chef therefore it falls under semi-skilled lang so my contract needs to be verified by POLO. My employer has a partner agency here in PH but the agency will charge me placement + processing and all. I do not want to spend na a lot of money knowing I can jump nman to SG and from there to DOHA. A lot of friends has done it na and the last one done it in February 2012. Has anyone of you done it recently? I am just making sure walang magiging problema baka kse nagkaron nang konting changes from feb to d present e. Thanks!

How much do you put value on your peace of mind? Trying to circumvent our laws will be risky. Do you think the prying eyes of the Immigration officers back home will not give you a hard time? They have this uncanny ability to know. Take the legal route is your best option. No hassle.

Parey, instead of Doha, you should have ( long ) jumped direct to London Olympics, sure you could have won a gold medal atleast.
