Nigerians in Qatar are about 1000, some are fortunate working in banks, newspapers,small chip coys, investment house,Engineering firms.

A Nigerian is the pastor of a local church with various country nationals attendant e.g Sri Lanka, Kenyans,Zimbabwe,Nepalese etc

But of worry is the high cost of accomodation.
Nigerians there are not too co-operative towards each other.
So if you must travel to Qatar make sure you have contacts on ground.

wow. in quatar? the name itself is scarry.

Quater abi na Half this country sef na wa

I have a friend living in Qatar and he`s living larger compared to Nigeria.Don`t underrate the country with the name , even when an Igbo said Qatar to him,is better that Amrican which simply means he`s doing comfortably well in the country.Baldlarry

This is the kind of country i like, do any one here knows about the visa or any info

If you thinking of coming to visit Qatar for a short stay you can contact Qatar Airways who can help with Tourist visa for as low as 50 dollars officially.

But if you want to come work here, then you must search for job opportunities online, allowing your employers to sponsor you into the country all expenses paid.

In other cases there are agents who can bring you in on a working visa status.

Bros, thanks so much for the info, tell me how easy for someone to find any kind of unskilled jobs over there, from what i have seen so far, that place is better than South Africa. Please do post more info about life there cus is hard time for me to leave SA, just wasting my time here and i cant wait for the PR again.

anyway guys,all what i know is that u can book online reservation with a 5* hotel and they wil arrange a tourist for the duration of your stay in the hotel, But if anyone got updated info about, pls do not hesitate to email me at adekomigl@hotmail.com, Love u all.

If you are unskilled forget about Qatar.

Its no place for hustling, or doing menial jobs.

You must be a professional in your chosen career to have a chance for a good job.

Security in Qatar is of the highest order, you can't fake things.

Social life here is zero, no 9ja kinda frenzy for partying, no shayo, can't chase women anyhow, if you are caught, na wahala.

Traffic offense like driving without license could lead to deportation or fine, for every accident a car suffers there must be a police report to allow  mechanics repair.

Its a suitable location for couples.

Job is scarce now in Qatar, its summer.

Siasia's Flying Eagles are in town , so Nigerians there are giving them all the support

Qatar

Seriously?

@Mama-gee and eddy 1977
You guys should read up on Qatar and the rest of the cool guf countries. Don't let the name fool you.Qatar is one of the richest countries in the world and life there is really lovely (almost no crime, low death rate, luxury everywhere and best of all no taxes). Also check Oman, U.A.Eand Bahrain. Thats where Okocha earned his highest pay per week you know.

qatar is a nice country to live in. The people are friendly

Nice country i was there enroute to china via qatar airways but could not get to the streets for sightseeing at all cos we were told you gat to have the visa.
That country i tell you is lawful unlike our naija where anything goes.

Anyways is a good place by my perpective sha.

can someone help me arranging a Qatar visa?

i no go mind stop by there for a weekend but i'm sure it won't be much diff from abu dhabi n dubai but make i jus add another star to my map

say wat? Pounds, Dollars,Yen.Malt? abeg wich on father reach am, Arab Delli Niggaassssssss

Well said Qatar is rich but you must take into consideration the religious mentality of the pple and the abuses being meted on some of the foreign workers like the Philippians and stuffs like that.
l have been there once the country is blazing hot l think one needs a stand by freezer to get some cold stuffs down the throat.

Socially Qatar is a no go area thats my take

Recently the Nigerian community called Dohanaija held a sent forth party for one of its member relocating to Canada.
Reports have it that the turn out was massive with Nigerians from all parts of the city in attendance at the residence of the President .

The Association is planning a massive Independence celebration come October 1st.

The Association and Nigerians are clamoring for the siting of a Nigerian embassy in Doha.

when you read more or visit some gulfs countries you will appreciate it, i stayed in Kuwait for a year plus and i liked it, i met some Nigerians there its like a mini community, not up to 200 at the time of my stay but it was ok, i am not the night life type of girl so i guess if u want that then you need to look for someone, probably some of the students, I'm planing on getting a job there, i suppose Qatar is similar, anyway the only thing is, you need a degree and a job offer before going, I'm saying this from experience. first look for someone that you know who stays there cos you wunt be able to afford the accommodation, noble gas1 gave the equivalent of their money in Naira, that's a lot. then get a visiting visa. While in their house look for a job, note "with ur degree" .you can also renew ur visa after your stay has elapsed to continue your job search

CAn anyone advise of the price of their schools, is it good to go and do UG dere?

SHALOM

if someone is not sponsoring you then i will advise u to get your under graduate degree somewhere else. well am not sure about Qatar, but in kuwait u have to be in some scholarship unless if you have enough doe(money)

is scholarship easy 2 get in kuwait? aw is d place?

SHALOM

What if i wish to settle down there with my family. me,my wife and little boy?

if you have a job, why not

but u don ask ur wife if she like middle east?

how can i get the qatar visa, any help from someone?

a_tessy03:

how can i get the qatar visa, any help from someone?

do u know anyone in Qatar,its just a matter of them inviting you, its really not that difficult to get the visa
but what do u wana do in Qatar, being that its the middle east, there is hardly any fun there, plus things are fu%kin expensive
