Question

Can I work in Qatar?

I’ve been offered a job in Qatar. I’m positive and undetectable, am I able to work there?

Answer

Thanks for getting in touch,

Qatar like other countries in that region have high levels of discriminations against people who are HIV positive.

To say that there are unwelcoming in an understatement as the following explains:

    Hi Roshan, as mentioned in the link found in the answer to the main question, if you hold existing residence status you will not be deported. This is determined by acquiring HIV while in Qatar. When this is the case you are able to access treatment in Qatar similar to nationals.

    Hi Chwiri, as i-base is an HIV treatment charity based in the UK I am unsure of how to apply for work in Qatar. The only thing of note is that Qatar is not a very welcoming country to those living with HIV and it may be difficult to get work.

    Hi Kma, i-base is an HIV treatment focussed charity. We do not have the information about travel regulations and syphilis. I am not aware of any restrictions but if you remain unsure you can contact your local Qatar embassy.

    Hello
    My problem is, if someone had syphilis and treated and cured, will he get work visa in qatar..

    Hi Issac, as a foreign national unfortunately Qatar is not a welcoming country to HIV positive people. Applying for a work visa requires HIV testing. Being positive will have the application rejected and you will not be able to work.

    Does Qatar allow Hiv positive workers?
