Changing Profession in QID- Step by Step Guide.

By hsnmughal

I would like to share the experience for the profession change on QID for in case, need to bring the family in or for driving license.

First Collect the following documents.

From Employer
1. NOC Letter to Change the Profession.
2. ID copy of the authorized signatory.
3. Copy of Company CR, computer Card and Municipality Certificate.
4. Office Electricity Bill copy.
5. New three Labor Contract with new profession (you can make it ready from any typing center).
Note: This labor contract consists of three pages, one contract copy should printed on company letter head, after print take 2 set of copies of this contract and then sign/stamp all of three sets by employer.
From Employee
6. QID and Passport Copy.
7. Graduation Degree Attested from MOFA.
8. Old Labor contract (must be attested from MOL).
9. Six-month Salary Statement copy.
10. Application to change the profession (you can make it ready from any typing center).
Note: Application also need to sign/stamp from your Employer.

Go to any Govt. Service Center (C-Ring near Gulf Cinema, Mesaimeer , Al Rayan : Timings: 7:00am to 1:00pm, 3:00PM to 7:00PM ) and submit the application. They will just take your application & ID only rest of the documents they will return after scanning and checking.

(In case any document is missing, or new title doesn't match with your degree they will ask you to bring the same documents while mentioning another title. Then you have to again prepare the all the document. So better is to check first with labor department about which title suits you as per the degree you hold).

If your application submitted they will give you receipt of application receiving, that will be used to follow up.

In case of approval or rejection you have to manually follow up by visiting the service center by showing the same receipt.

If rejected, you have to visit the Main office 1st Floor opposite to City Center with all the documents you submitted they will tell you the reason of rejection.

if approved, you will get 2 SMS from MOLSA & MOI.

Next Step after approval is go to any immigration with the NOC from your employer to print new QID with new tittle & old QID, they will print a new QID against 200 QR.

After QID, prepare E-labor contract and take it to MOL to get it stamped against 60 QR.

Best of Luck for ALL....

How long does it take to change your profession in your QID? Are they going to take your QID or they will just scan a copy of it?
