Hi there

Generally speaking, your visa for one country has nothing to do with your visa for another.

This is mostly an issue when travelling to countries in the Middle East with an Israeli passport, or with an Israeli visa in your passport.

Given that Malaysia doesn't have a kafala system (a rigid kind of sponsor system), it is not as if you have absconded without an exit visa - and even then it doesn't necessarily mean you'll have any problems going to Qatar, even though they have a similar system in place.

Have a look at our Visas for Qatar and Work Permits for Qatar pages to get a good overview of the system and put yourself at ease.

You'll also find a whole lot of pages on what to expect in the country, from working to shopping and culture shock. 

If you are still concerned, it may be best to phone your nearest Qatari consulate to confirm.

Best of luck
