Every year, thousands of visa applicants get tricked by fake agents and fraudsters posing as official representatives. Don’t fall for it. If you’re applying for a Qatar work visa, here’s what you must know.
Qatar Visa Centers are operated under the mandate of the Ministry of Interior, State of Qatar. QVC handles only the administrative and non-judgmental parts of the visa process.
Your official process at Qatar Visa Center (QVC) includes:
•Facial image capture
•Iris and fingerprint scan
•Thumb and palm print
•Medical check-ups (X-ray, blood, eye test, vaccinations, doctor consultations)
All procedures follow the exact requirements and protocols defined by the Qatar Authorities.

Common Scams & Truths: What You Should Know
Q: Do I need to pay anyone for a QVC appointment?
A: No. The employer pays for the visa, and appointments are free. Book only through www.qatarvisacenter.com using your VRN. Do not pay anyone claiming to offer appointments.
An optional Lounge/VIP service is available for a nominal fee. It fast-tracks the process during your first visit but does not guarantee visa approval. Always ask for an official receipt.
Q: Can QVC affect my visa or medical result?
A: No. QVC and QMC staff are not involved in any decision-making. All results and visa decisions are made by the Ministry of Health (MoH), Qatar and updated directly via the official QVC system.
Q: Can QVC help me get a job?
A: No. QVC is not a recruitment agency. Never pay anyone claiming to offer job placements.
Q: Can I share my VRN or personal details on WhatsApp or calls?
A: Never. QVC only requests information through official channels. Avoid sharing your VRN, passport number, or any personal information with anyone claiming to be from QVC on social media, phone calls, SMS, or WhatsApp.
Just like you never share your bank PIN or OTP with unknown or unverified individuals, never share visa-related details with unauthorized sources.
