Dear all, I have recently been offered a job in Doha. It is a well reputed bank. I have following queries if any one can help me on it: 1. How much time does it take for the visa. 2. Is there any way I can check the status of my visa. 3. What documents are required for the visa. I have submitted my passport copies however I have been asked to submit a list of documents at my convenience in the meanwhile they are saying that they have applied for the visa and awaiting for it? Please note that I am from Pakistan. I am very much looking forward for this job.

It's always very difficult to predict how long visa applications will take as it depends on a number of factors. I think the best thing to do would go to the nearest embassy of your home country and ask them to advise you on what to do if the work visa doesn't come on time. I think it's important to prepare for this possibility in advance because visas can sometimes take weeks to come through.
Best of luck.
