of duties is a pre-requisite for employment with Qatar Airways and its group subsidiaries.
The Pre-Employment Medical is a self-declaration form. This can be found in the
‘Required Attachments’ link.

Any pre-existing medical conditions requiring medical care, specialist follow-up, surgery
or regular medication must be declared. Failure to declare such will adversely affect your
employment. Further, all active, chronic or potentially relapsing conditions must be
highlighted.

PEM Form Attachments:

If you have answered "Yes" to any of the items in the medical history section on the
pre-employment medical form, upload related medical reports under supplementary
medical test. This will be forwarded to the Qatar Airways Clinic for review.
All medical reports must be stamped and signed to show authenticity. If your doctor
does not complete the exam reports in English, the reports must be completely
translated into English by a certified translator. Translated medical reports should show a
stamp from the medical clinic and the translator.
Any medical costs incurred for testing or laboratory reports before arrival in Qatar will
be borne and paid for by the applicant, not Qatar Airways.

All technical staff: Submit a visual acuity/colour vision exam and a hearing (Audiogram)
exam.
All food and beverage staff: Submit a Hep A(lgm) exam and a stool exam.
All joining staff over 50 years old: Submit an ECG report.

Note: The State of Qatar requires all arriving employees to undergo full medical
screenings (blood test and chest x-ray) by the Government Medical Commission in
Doha, before issuing a Residence Permit for Qatar. This will be scheduled for you soon

Qatar, review the following required documents and above attestation process. Any costs
incurred for this process will be borne and paid for by the applicant, not Qatar Airways.
We strongly advise you to contact the authorities or search and speak to several
attestation agencies. The process of attestation can be complicated and vary widely
between countries.

Step 3. Applying for your work visa

Once we have your passport copies and other required documentation, we will initiate
a request for your work visa to enter Qatar. Your submitted passport must be valid for
at least 6 months.

Though we cannot guarantee a time frame for the delivery of your Qatar work visa,
many people receive their visa within 3 - 4 weeks from the date it has been requested.

Once your work visa has been requested, it could be issued at any time. You should
not plan to travel to Qatar on your own after we have requested your work visa. We
will advise you when is the right time to travel to Qatar to do your joining formalities
and we will also issue you an e-ticket.

If you hold a dual nationality, note that Qatar Residence Permit will only be registered
on the passport on which the work visa has been obtained.

candidates as quickly as possible, we cannot always guarantee that a start date will be
available to you immediately following completion of your formalities.

Q. What type of accommodation will I get?

As advised in your offer letter, Qatar Airways will allocate you to a company accommodation
facility, or if no space is available at the time of your joining, you will receive a housing
allowance for the amount stated in your offer letter, with which you need to pay for your
own privately sourced accommodation.

We will confirm before your scheduled joining day whether you will be staying in company
accommodation or receiving a housing allowance, and which company accommodation
facility you have been assigned to. We are unable to accept any requests from joining staff
regarding their preference for either company accommodation or housing allowance – this
is done solely at the discretion of the company. After you join, if in case you wish to request
for a change you will be able to do so by speaking with the Facilities Team and then
submitting your request to the Property Management Team.

Q. Am I entitled for medical insurance?

All permanent residents of Qatar are eligible to obtain a government health card.
If you are entitled to a government health card, the cost of the application fee will be
reimbursed upon provision of a receipt. A company medical insurance scheme will be
available from the joining day, if you are entitled to it as stated in your offer letter. If you
seek private health insurance, this application fee will be borne by the employee.
