do I need NOC?
I had accepted an offer to work in Doha which I've had to turn back after signing the contract due to unforeseen medical reasons. Apparently, an application for work visa had already eben lodged, but I have not entered the country since and will not, probably for a while. Do I need a NOC if I really never even started working?
hello there;
i am expert in visas issues, your visa got expiry date onit, if you want to come over befor and work for others, yes you do need NOC, if after expiry no worries, i think it's valid up to 4 months or similar
Residency visa can only be obtained once in Qatar, not before, hence the application for a work visa while the process of PR takes place.
If your Residency was issued then I believe you've been registered into their system as a worker for a qatari company hence the answer to your question is yes, you will need a NOC even if you want to visit Qatar on a tourist visa.
