Family Visit Visa transferred to Working Visa

I came here in Qatar under the sponsorship ofmy Sister. When I found a job, my visa was transferred to my employer.

When I checked the MOI website I saw that my visa was changed to working visa but the validity period is for only three months.

My passport do not have any stamp yet and I still dont have the medical and the finger printing.

Now my employer wants to terminate me but they are open in giving me an NOC once I found a new job.

My concern is that is it ok if my passport doesnt have any stamp of my working visa?

Will I get penalized? Kindly give me an advice regarding on this matter.

Hi Friends.......I am an Italian Lady and I expect your great help...This is regarding Sponsorship changing from husband to company. I have been living in Doha for 3 years under my husband's sponsorship. I am having a daughter and a housemaid and both are under my sponsorship. Now I need to change the sponsorship to my current employer. Once I submitted the application with relevant documents, unfortunately that was rejected. Pls help me to solve this problem

Dear All,

My friend came in Qatar under VISIT VISA (Sponsored by his Husband).After almost 5months and 2weeks in Qatar,she found a job and had worked in a certain company and they promised to sponsor her before her Visa will expire, but suddenly they weren't able to change her sponsor on time until it got expired.She keeps on teeling the company manager to fix everything as too much penalties will be incurred.Company managaer said to her not to worry as they will be responsible for the Penalties(they will pay for it).Until Now, her Visa is expired for 6months now. She happened to have accepted to another company and willing to sponsor her,provided she will settle her penalties. So now, they went to Immigration to pay for the Penalties,& after waiting,Immigration staff said they just come back the next day as the Captain who will sign the paper is not in the Office.So they comeback next day,staff said to her,that her passport had already been forwarded to CID. Now, we need your advice regarding this problem.What are the necessary process or procedures they need to do in order to settle the penalties & change her sposorship to the New company she had worked with.Please.Please Need your advice everyone. :(

Hey, as far as I can understand your case, you are having 3 months work visa and you can change it to another employer even if your RP is not stamped on your passport. Find another company/job, give your documents to PRO, it will be done easily.

Penalty depends on how much you have stayed here. If you have exceeded 3 months of work visa without finishing RP stamping formalities, then on the 91th day, fine of QAR10 starts per day.

Immediately try to find another Job, you still have chance to transfer sponsorship. Once you RP is stamped on your passport, then 1 year you cant change sponsorship even if you have NOC.

Cheers!
