Qatar requirements
What Indian documents need for Qatar
Short answer: Qatar is not part of the Apostille Convention. Indian documents need state attestation, MEA attestation and then attestation by the Qatar Embassy in India. Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attests the document after you arrive in Qatar.
Qatar is one of the most common destinations we handle. The degree is usually the key document for a work visa, and the employer or recruitment agency will often tell you exactly which certificates to attest. Names on certificates must match the passport — if they don't, sort it out with an affidavit before starting.
The order of stamps
- State attestation (HRD / SDM / COC)
- MEA attestation
- Qatar Embassy
- MOFA (in Qatar)
Common reasons people need Qatar attestation
- Work visa and residence permit (RP)
- Family visa for spouse and children
- Professional registration and equivalency
- School and university admission
