The full guide
Qatar's work visa is entirely employer-driven — there is no self-petition path, and MADLSA (the Ministry of Labour) allocates visa numbers to employers based on their registered staffing plan. The single most protective thing you can do before accepting any offer: verify both your specific employment contract and your recruiter's licence directly through MADLSA's official channels, since Qatar's own labour ministry publishes a quarterly-updated list of licensed agencies precisely because unlicensed brokers still actively operate.
Cost: QAR 800-1,800 total government fees — paid by the employer, not you, by law
