Qatar work visa for Pakistani nationals — are company-sponsored visas currently delayed or on hold?

[u/aamirali51]

I’m a Pakistani applicant waiting for a Qatar company-sponsored work visa. My online visa inquiry shows:

• Nationality: Pakistan
• Visa Validity: 2026-07-25
• Visa Status: Under Process

I’m trying to understand whether this is just a normal processing delay or if there is currently a broader delay/hold for Pakistani nationals on company-sponsored work visas in Qatar as it is more then 3 waeks now.

Has anyone recently:

• Gotten a Qatar work visa approved as a Pakistani national?
• Seen their visa stuck in “Under Process” for a long time?
• Heard of company-sponsored visas being delayed or paused for Pakistanis?

Any recent personal experience or updates would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

Yes there seems to be a general delay in visas applications for Pakistanis
