If you are applying for a new job role in Qatar, your employer should advise you on which documents you will need to present for your work permit. It’s important you check this with them to avoid you facing delays in your application, or even getting documents legalised which were unnecessary.
  • Yes, the majority of higher education awards will require supporting documents from the institution where you studied the course. The process of obtaining these supporting documents will vary dependant on which country you studied in, so it’s best to get in touch with us to confirm the details with us directly. If you have a UK qualification, we have an in-depth blog article on the process, with some free downloadable help guides!
