Hello to all!
We need advice and help regarding the work of my sister, she came in doha with a business visa and after a month she get a work as a secretary in the trading company with only 4 employees and she is only a girl among them.
The first problem we encountered was her visa, the employer file very late til the business visa expired and for 20days lapsed we discover that they issued servant visa instead secretary job.
Our second problem, is for the first month of work she received salary but 2nd and 3rd month she did not get the salary already and her employer promise only everyday the same reason "tomorrow".
Our third problem is that sometime she is alone in the office and one time her colleague try to kiss her and she ran away home, that until now she didn't go back for work and don't like anymore to work.
We try to talk to her employer to let her go home but her employer ignore us only. By the way her employer not her sponsor, she did not see her sponsor but she have ID.
One month already she's not reporting for duty and stay only in the house, she have a working visa but she did not have medical or pataka or even take finger prints.
We don't know already what to do, please help and advice us what and where to get help.
thanks.

She can go and came back without any NOC or 2 year . But yes if she want to change without exiting country then she need NOC. she only can use that visa for 3 month after that she have pay 10 Qr per day if she not apply for medicle and finger .

And housemaid visa is not for office work if she got caught she will be in problem, as it's personal visa not commercial or company ,

Just tell to the employer that u going to compline to Humen Rights ... Or embassy .

I will PM you the details just in case it gets deleted any time soon (which it should do).

I have to be honest and say I don't know for certain. My guess is that she still may be able to move employer now if those things have not taken place yet. But with any luck someone more knowledgeable than me will reply below and straighten things out for you.

Good luck.

If she wants to go home I recommend her embassy. She should not be working as a secretary if she is on a domestic workers visa. It sounds like she has fallen victim of a very unscrupulous employer.
