Visa & Work Permit Support
Overview

Hiring into Qatar runs through a defined sequence: block visa approval against your labour quota, work visa, entry, medical and biometrics, then the residence permit that makes the employee legally resident and able to open a bank account and sponsor family.

We run that sequence for each hire, keep the expiry dates under watch, and handle the renewals, transfers and cancellations that follow — so your staff are never working on a lapsed permit.

What's included

  • Block visa and labour quota applications
  • Work visa and work permit processing
  • Residence permit (RP) issue, renewal and cancellation
  • Medical examination and biometrics coordination
  • Family and dependent residence applications
  • Sponsorship transfer and exit permit processing
  • Expiry tracking with advance renewal reminders
