can I go to Qatar under tourist visa and look for job? Once I find job, can the tourist visa be converted into employment or residence visa? is this a normal practice in Qatar?

It can be but takes a long process.

I suggest take the Business Visit Visa as it is possible to convert to Working Visa.

Good luck.

Hi, why not. You can always come to Doha on Tourist or Visit Visa and find a suitable job. Your employer will help processing your Permanent Visa and subsequent Residence Permit. If you need my help / assitance, pls do not hesitate to contact me. Wishing you all the best,

i don't think so my friend, it will be a waste of your money and effort if you come here looking for a job as a tourist.
