Hi,

Does pregnancy test involved in medical examination when one is entering Qatar? If it does, what are the implications?

Thanks peep.

I got confused with your follow-up question."Husband and wife are both in Qatar." (already? - you said "entering Qatar", meaning still in your home country.)If you mean the medical exam here in Qatar, i don't think they include the pregnancy test in the process, not unless you declare that you "may be pregnant".If both of you are already working in Doha and you just went for vacation, and while on vacation you got pregnant, IMO you have to notify your company. They should know your situation. As I've mentioned employees are usually on a BACHELORS visa.In my case, I got pregnant here. I have a working visa and so do as my hubby. I informed my boss and he still wants me to continue to work and so I did. Though I'm ready to go home if he'll tell me to do so. Moreso, I got no problem delivering my baby here as I have all the required documents/proofs that we are legally married.It's a case to case basis. If you're in Doha, I hope your employer will still allow you to work.  If you're in your home country, I still hope, they'll let you come back to Doha.:)

So what is the implication if one is pregnant? both the husband and wife are here, and they are married. Both came in with a work visa.

Yes, I did take mine before coming here.Just to make sure you're not pregnant (for women of course) before entering Qatar. Specially that visas here are always given as SINGLE (Bachelors) even when you're married. :)
