A few weeks ago, Qatar had announced setting up a job visa center in Pakistan to facilitate those looking for a job in the Gulf state. The latest update is that Qatar’s Visa Facilitation Centers in Karachi and Islamabad will be fully functional by December.
The main motive of these visa centers is to ensure smooth and easy recruitment process by allowing applicants to ensure they meet all the necessary requirements before initiating a contract.
These centers will also ensure that no worker returns to their country after being rendered unfit to obtain a residence permit in Qatar.
