Hi, I want to inquire anyone who knows the procedure on how to come in Qatar via direct hire? My son has a job offer here in Qatar;visa and contract is ready, but since the company is new they dont know the hiring process of direct hire from Philippines. Anybody who gone thru the same kindly share the info on what steps to undergo. Thanks.

Gene_lv, I was also a direct hire, When I processed my documents at POEA 2nd floor. POEA found out that the company has a valid accreditation with an agency until 19 July 2015, However, the agency told me they cannot process my documents because the company Job Order was already expired. Further, due to the POEA Memorandum. Circular. No. 4, with the valid accreditation they cannot direct hire.

Can anybody give me advice? I already have my contract and working visa. I like to apply for the visa stamping at Qatar Embassy but the agency told me, Qatar Embassy will not stamp the visa because of the expired job order. If this is true, what will I do?

Kabayan, there are no more direct hire employees coming from the Philippines. There should be a job order filed by the employer through the Embassy here. This job order is to be given to an accredited recruitment agency. This is to assure and guarantee the safety of the employee to be hired. In short, there will be placement fees, pre-employment medical, PDOS, visa processing, etc. Cumbersome, time consuming but safe. The above comments pertains to getting here via a visiting visa or business visa. This is an option but personally, not advisable. You choice. Good Luck.

Hi,

Being a direct hire from the Philippines entails a lot of head ache considering the red tape in Manila if could be very frustrating until the very end. With so many requirements to prepare and a lot more, chances are you will not be able to come to Qatar in just 30 days (if you are lucky enough).

I am a Recruitment Officer in Doha and I bring people from Manila via the Bangkok route, meaning you book yourself as tourist to Bangkok (round trip ticket, a night stay in a hotel) and the following day you can board a plane to Doha.

Honestly, we get nothing from the government not even a good service.

SMS me and I will tell you this way, when you arrive in Doha, just register at the Polo Office.

DHL is no longer processing for visa stamping. And it is too risky to exit to other Asian country and exit from there coming to Qatar, the immigration in other Asian countries are already informed about these back door exits, hence departure from there coming to other countries might be disallowed. If you're interested, send me message and I can give you the no. of an agent who is processing for deployment, meaning work visa will be processed thru POEA legally. He processed for my sister's work visa. Anyhow, you can try other means if you want to take the risk.

I don't think direct hiring is still allowed. You have to go through an agency in the Philippines who is accredited to hire for your employer. Check with POEA to be sure. Best of luck:)

The company who is offering the job need to apply for a work visa from MOI.

i was direct hired also, the thing i remember is that i have my offer letter and stamped visa from qatar embassy in manila (processed thru dhl together with my police and nbi clearance and medical certificate) and my flight schedule. Processed my OEC in POEA 2nd floor and it took me about 2weeks since they require a letter from the company stating that they are in-charge in sending our corpse if we die here in doha (foolish thing).

but if you want your relative to come too soon without any hassels in Ninoy A. airport give him a Singapore Tour Package and then from there another ticket to Doha. He can print his Doha workvisa and keep it with him that he may present it in NDIA immigration here which is hassel free.
