Attesting degrees for work permits
Our engineer's visa is held for degree attestation. What does that involve?
The situation
For many professional roles, degrees must be attested before permits are granted.
The law
- Law No. 21 of 2015 on entry, exit and residence of expatriates: Residence permits are tied to a recruiter or employer and handled by the Ministry of Interior
What it means for you
Attest the degree in the home country and then with Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs as required. This often takes weeks, so start before the job offer is final.
What to do
- Check whether the role needs attestation.
- Attest in the home country.
- Complete Qatar attestation.
- Upload and reapply.
