Is it legal to change business visa to work visa?

Hi, I want to ask some help about the visa. Can I change to a work visa of another sponsor if I use a business visa to go to Qatar? I mean, first, I use a business visa issued by one sponsor to go to Qatar, then I get another work visa from a different sponsor. Is it legal? Do I need to leave Qatar or I can stay with the new visa? Before the business visa expires, can I get the work visa?
Thank you very much for anyone's help.

The Business Visa can only be issued thrice, for a month each time. Hence, at 3months, you'd have to leave the country.

Unless, of course, you work out the new Work Visa before those 3 months are up.

Yes it is very much legal to change the business visa to work visa. Its the same process as a visit visa.

You produce an NOC plus the sponsored company Computer id, pay extra 500 and you can get tansferred.
