Can job status on RP be changed?
I am working as Marketing Manager with a private company in Qatar. My company wants to change my business visa to RP. I have been informed that there is no visa available for marketing manager with the comapny & they can only process my RP for supervisor or engineer? Can the status on RP changed afterwards from Engineer/ supervisor to Manager? Will it have any implications on my ability to sponsor my family? Please help.
Engineer or manager is fine both will allow you to sponsor your family if your salary is ok( more than 7.000 QAR) .
You can change your occupation on RP later but it will take long time and you will be required to bring a lot of documents from your side and from the company side as well and u have to change your contract and many other things.. beside you have to change it from 2 places ,, Labor office first ,, then immigration ..... BUT …
You can simply ask the company to change the visa they have from Engineer or supervisor to Marketing Manager..
it will take just 3 days without any more requirements . it’s so easy for everybody to do it this way ,, if the company reject to do that you must know they don’t want to give you that position.
good louck
Yes, it can be changed, but managerial is difficult since those positions are reserved for Nationals (like many gulf counties). There won't be any problem in sponsoring your family while your status is supervisor or engineer, all it matters is the salary
