Qatar offers various work permits for individuals who wish to work in the country. Here are some of the common work permits in Qatar:
Work Visa: A work visa is issued to foreign workers who have secured a job offer in Qatar. It is valid for a maximum of 5 years and is renewable.
Residence Permit: A residence permit is issued to foreign workers who are already in Qatar and have been offered a job. It is valid for 1 year and is renewable.
Family Visa: A family visa is issued to foreign workers who have a family member (spouse, parent, or child) living in Qatar. This visa is not a work permit, but it allows the holder to stay in Qatar with their family.
To obtain a work permit in Qatar, the employer must sponsor the worker’s visa and obtain the necessary approvals from the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor and Social Affairs. The worker must also meet certain requirements, such as having a valid passport and passing a medical examination.
