Just for your information and other visa aspirant to Qatar, there is no new work visa right now for Nigerians nationality since past weeks, it has been on hold for some reasons, the people who manage to get the visa this time do it at a very exorbitant price, i will advise you to wait on or before march 2014 may be visa will be available.

1) Be aware that there is no bus transportation system that runs from Qatar to UAE except you are going with your private vehicle and secondly trucks that brings goods in and out of Qatar also pass through the road and there is strict immigration control at the border.

2) you will be required to fly with any available flight, it cost between 400 - 1000 QAR depending on the airline and time.

3) coming with visit visa to Qatar is good but must be at the right time, if you come when there is no Nigerian visa you will suffer because when you get job they will tell you that they cannot be able to secure Nigerian work visa.

4) it is not always easy for Nigerians to get job on visit visa unlike other nationalities whom there visa is always available at the immigration.

5) Engineering professions are more in demand but it requires experience and skills.

Dear people of Nairaland, i know its very confusing most of the time to get visa to Qatar from Naija, but I will highlight ways to get the visa as follows
1 Company Sponsor:

TYPES OF COMPANY SPONSORSHIP
• 1) FREE VISA: this type of company visa requires you to pay for your visa procurement, Air ticket, accommodation, resident permit, and also pay for renewal of your resident visa every year if you are still under the company
Advantages of this type of visa: you are free to look for job when you arrive, you are free to change employment whenever you have new opportunity, you can travel out of the country at your own time once you have your resident permit.
HOW TO GET THIS TYPE OF VISA
You have to get this visa via company in Qatar who are willing to sponsor you at an agreed amount of money, the applicant is likely to go through agent or friends and relative who knows the company that can get this type of visa.
• 2) Company full sponsorship: this type of visa does not require the applicant to pay any amount of money to get this very visa, the company will pay for the visa procurement, AIR ticket to and fro, resident permit ,medical insurance, Accommodation and all related fees.

• Disadvantages of this type of visa:

• you are not allowed to work for any other company except the company that brought you to Qatar,

• and you must work under them for 2 years according to Qatar law.

• you are not allowed to leave the country without the company permission.

• You must be under full control of the company.

• The salary package is not always very competitive.
HOW TO GET THIS TYPE OF VISA
You can get this type of visa when you apply to a company and they will interview you through Skype or telephone, and also discuss with you about the salary package, upon successful agreement, they will arrange all the necessary steps required to bring you to Qatar. Popular job sites here are as follows: www.bayt.com www.gulftalent.com www.gulf-times.com www.naukrigulf.com

2 FAMILLY SPONSOR
This type of visa can be achieved via family member or relative who is residing in Qatar and under family visa, the person can arrange this type visa for the applicant

I think I have given out enough information that will assist visa applicant, I will advise those who are not graduates or people who are not technically inclined and willing to work or search for job to back off because there is no much ( hustling things) here . Those who are Engineers are likely to integrate into the system faster.
This is my second year in this country so far so good. I may not be available to respond to you further queries do to work, but any time I have time I will always do that.
Thanks.
