Things You Need Before Going to Qatar Visa Center in Manila

The Qatar Visa Center (QVC) in Manila has made it easier for Filipinos to work in Qatar. It’s primary goal is to facilitate biometric data and medical tests and is supervised by authorities from the government of Qatar.

The QVC is also where contract signing will take place. So before you go to QVC, be sure you already have an employer waiting for you at the Gulf nation.

What’s it Like to Have Your Data Processed at QVC

The QVC in Pasay is located at the NU Mall of Asia building, beside Starbucks. The following video discusses the experiences of a vlogger while visiting the QVC. He details the step-by-step procedures upon entering the center.

Things you need to bring during your appointment:

If you already have an employer, they will apply for your appointment, but you can also schedule a visit on your own. Just go to the Qatar Visa Center website and book an appointment there. Information includes your appointment time, visa center address, category: normal, QVC entry time (15 minutes prior to your appointment time).

Don’t forget to print out the appointment letter, the one you processed on your own or the one your employer sent you through email.

You also need to bring your passport, extra money, medical certificates or receipts of your recent vaccinations, Educational Certificate like a diploma, preferably red ribbon authenticated. You also need to put these in a clear envelope plus a ballpen.

Be sure that your passport has at least 6 months before it will expire.

What Not To Bring

Try not to bring someone else, because they can’t enter the center anyway, unless they are willing to wait for around 4 hours. Don’t bring cellphones, cameras, USBs, travel bags. You can bring them and just stash them at the available lockers and baggage counters at the QVC.

Steps Upon Entering the QVC

First you will go to reception to show your appointment letter and passport. They will verify your identity. Here you have an option for VIP processing for a price of PhP 1,720. As a VIP you will be directed to a lounge where there is free food. You will also be prioritized in cues, and get your medical results in just two days. Normal customers get their results in 10-15 days.

At the reception, you will be given a ticket number. Proceed to the waiting area. When your number is flashed on the screen, go to the biometric data area. They will take fingerprints. Your contract details will be explained there as well, including your salary and benefits. They will ask if you agree with the contract and then you will sign it.

Next you will go back to the waiting area. Then you will be called to another counter where your fingerprints will be scanned again, your photo taken, and you will undergo iris detection. By this time, your Biometric data is completed.

Medical Examination

The Medical exam is powered by the Qatar Medical Center. After your Biometric Data is completed you will have to wait again to be called to another reception area where they will ask you if you’ve had any recent vaccinations. Bring your medical certificates or receipts if you have.

You will then be directed to a waiting area at the Medical section where you will receive a ticket and wait for your number to be flashed on the monitor again. You will be given a form for HIV test. You need to answer the questions in the form honestly. Some information required is sensitive but you need to be honest.

Your height, weight, temperature will be measured and you will also have an eye test. You will also have blood extraction for the HIV test. Then you will have a vaccination for measles and tetanus.

Next, you will consult with doctors. First, you will be sent to a room for a brief full body examination. Second, you will enter another room nearby for the x-ray.

If you did not avail of the VIP service, you will receive your results in 10 to 15 days. A customer service agent will call to inform you that the results are in. The agent will also tell you to do further checkups and consultations, referring you to certain hospitals, but this time you will have to pay for the expenses.

If no one calls, email QVC or one of the agents of your employer and tell them about your Fit to Work Status.

Other Important Matters

The Medical Exam results have a validity of 60 days. Once you receive the results, be sure you’ll be on your way to Qatar within 60 days, otherwise you will go back to square one.

Before you go to the QVC, be sure that you are in your healthiest condition. Take medicines if you need to, drink lots of water, sleep well the night before.

The QVC has made it much easier for Filipinos to work in Qatar. Perhaps, this is an indication that the government of Qatar recognizes the growing Filipino community in its nation and acknowledges its contribution to the welfare of society.

Travel Abroad: Philippines Guide

Difficulty Intemediate

Category Travel

Filipinos travelling abroad should be aware of the latest rules and requirements, as these are subject to change. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, the Philippines implemented a ban on outbound travel for all except overseas workers, student visa holders, and permanent residents.

As of 2023, the basic requirements for international travel from the Philippines are a passport, a visa (if required by the destination country), a confirmed return or round-trip ticket, and proof of vaccination. However, it is important to check for any additional requirements, as these differ from country to country.

In the case of first-time travellers, it is recommended to arrive at the airport at least 2-4 hours before the scheduled departure time, as the process can be lengthy and involve a lot of queuing. It is also important to have all the necessary documents, such as a visa, return flight ticket, company ID, hotel booking, and address and contact details of the destination and the Philippine Embassy.

Additionally, travellers may be asked questions by immigration officers, such as the purpose and duration of the trip, occupation, and financial capacity to travel. It is important to answer these questions confidently, consistently, and truthfully.

What You'll Learn

Basic travel documents: passport, visa, confirmed return or round-trip ticket, supporting documents: proof of accommodation, financial capacity, employment, etc, etravel registration: register online and generate a qr code, travel insurance: medical/accidental death or disablement coverage, trip cancellation coverage, etc, vaccination certificate: get a vaccination certificate at vaxcertph.

When travelling abroad from the Philippines, there are several basic documents that you need to prepare. These include your passport, visa, and confirmed return or round-trip ticket. Here is a detailed guide on each of these essential travel documents:

The passport is a crucial document for international travel, serving as proof of your identity and citizenship. To obtain a Philippine passport, you must submit an application form and provide supporting documents, such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable), and valid government-issued IDs. It is important to ensure that your passport is up-to-date and valid for the duration of your trip.

A visa is an authorization granted by a foreign country, permitting a traveller to enter, remain within, or leave its territory. The type of visa you need depends on your purpose of travel, such as tourism, business, education, or immigration. For short-term visits to countries like the United States, you can apply online using Form DS-160. However, for immigrant visas, you need to visit the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website for relevant forms. Certain countries may also offer visa waivers or visa-free travel for Filipino citizens.

Confirmed Return or Round-Trip Ticket

When travelling abroad, it is essential to have a confirmed return or round-trip ticket. A round-trip ticket is a confirmed booking from the country you are visiting back to your country of origin. This is crucial for entering a new country, as it demonstrates your intention to return and can be required by immigration authorities. An onward ticket, on the other hand, is a booking from one country to another, which you may need if you plan to travel to multiple countries.

Remember to always verify the specific entry requirements for your destination country, as these may vary. By preparing your passport, visa, and confirmed return or round-trip ticket, you will be well on your way to a smooth and enjoyable international travel experience.

The new platform has a user-friendly interface, and it is recommended that you fill out the registration within 72 hours prior to departure from your country of origin to avoid long lines at the airport. The e-Travel Registration is free of charge.

To register online, go to https://etravel.gov.ph. This is the only official website for e-Travel Registration, and you should be wary of fraudulent websites that charge fees for registration. The e-Travel Registration will be easier to fill out and will require less information than the previous e-Arrival CARD Registration.

Once you have completed your registration, you will be able to generate a QR code. A QR, or Quick Response, code is a two-dimensional barcode, typically made up of black and white pixel patterns. To generate a QR code, you can use a QR code generator, which will allow you to create a QR code that meets your specific needs. There are different types of QR codes, including URL, vCard, Plain Text, Email, SMS, Twitter, WiFi, and Bitcoin. You will need to enter the relevant information in the fields provided by the generator and then select "Generate." You can then download your QR code and choose to have a standard black and white design or select custom colours and frames.

Travel insurance is a type of insurance that covers financial losses associated with travelling. It can be purchased online, from a tour operator, or from other sources. The cost of travel insurance is usually between 4% to 10% of the trip's price. The price is based on the type of coverage, your age, destination, trip cost, and more.

Trip cancellation insurance is a pre-departure benefit that provides reimbursement for prepaid and non-refundable travel expenses if a trip is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Coverage limits vary by policy, but most plans will reimburse up to 100% of the trip costs if it needs to be cancelled for a covered reason. Covered reasons include unforeseen illness, injury, or death of the traveller or a travelling companion, terrorism, inclement weather, or natural disasters. It's important to note that trip cancellation insurance is not always necessary, especially if you don't have non-refundable trip costs or if you already have trip protection through other sources, such as a travel credit card.

Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) plans are similar to life insurance policies, where you would name a beneficiary who would receive the benefit in the event of your death or dismembering injury while travelling. AD&D plans can provide continuous 24/7 coverage or coverage specifically for flights. Different policies will cover different types of injuries, such as loss of speech and/or hearing, or loss of thumb and index finger on the same hand. The amount paid out will depend on the policy purchased and the extent of the injuries.
