Qatar's Immigration and Work Visa Requirements The key RP criterion is that the employer be a Qatar-based legal corporation. If your organization does not yet have a local entity in Qatar, you will need to use a GEO employer of record to assign employees. The employment contract and all other paperwork for the overseas worker must be submitted by the Qatar employer. Other requirements include a medical exam to check for hepatitis and hiv, which might lead to denial if the test results are positive.
Time to Process a Work Visa in Qatar Before starting work, the expat worker can obtain a temporary entry visa from their company, which can be picked up upon arrival. While your employee is in Qatar, this visa can be converted to an RP, but the employee will not be able to work until the RP is approved. This is a more practical choice than many nations that do not allow conversion while in the country, but keep in mind that the applicant cannot leave Qatar during the conversion time. The rp visa processing period is from 2-4 weeks once the conversion procedure begins, however it might take longer depending on the conditions.
