Visa process for job in qatar
Hello Everyone:
I wonder how the work visa process goes in qatar.
According to qatar's MOI website, the work visa processing takes only 24 hours. Here is the web link:

However I was told by QP staff that it takes 3 weeks.
Also, once the employer finishes this process in qatar, how long it takes for employee to get it from his home country (in my case its canada). If its like business visa that you dont need it stamped on your passport and you just arrive at airport and they stamp it there?
Or its like that after the processing in qatar, you have to get it stamped from qatar embassy in canada? If so, how long it takes and what documentation is required?
Best Regards,
Am into hospitality industry,please i need to know how to get a working visa permit to work in qatar.am from nigeria.what are the steps and procedures involved?
thanks.

There are quite a few threads about salary and packages with QP and there are QP employees who answer.
Your thread title doesn't mention QP though. Maybe if you changed it to 'Visa process for QP job in Qatar' you might get some more QP employees answering your question.
hmmm. these are scary news :)
I don't work for QP so can't vouch for their procedures.
I do know, however, that I've been waiting for nearly three months for my work visa.
The standard advice is do not resign from your current position until you have received your work visa.
Your work visa is not guaranteed, and may be refused on grounds of nationality quotas (maybe they have too many Canadians in the company already), or some other reason or on a whim.
this is my third month waiting the qatari visa..take in consideration you might wait toomuch..actually i am still waiting..i know people who got the visa in 24 hours and other who waited for 1 year..so relax and dont resign from your job because you never know...
I am not trying to dissapoint you but this is the reality..but before what is your nationality...
