Visa Requirements & Timeline
Country-Specific Requirements
Qatar roles run on an employer-sponsored work visa with a mandatory GAMCA medical. Recent labour reforms removed the exit-permit requirement for most workers and set a non-discriminatory minimum wage.
ECR-passport holders complete emigration clearance before travel. A transparent service fee applies, disclosed upfront; the work visa is employer-sponsored.
Expected Timeline
Typically 30–55 days from selection to travel.
