Sponsors can replace existing visit visa with work visa online
If you're visiting Qatar but plan on working here, Qatari sponsors can replace an existing used visit visa with a new valid work visa for the same person.
Here's what you will need to do:
- Log in the online website of the Ministry of Interior.
- Select " Extend Visa " service.
- Enter the current visa number, you want to close, (consists of 12 characters) in the current visa number box.
- Enter the new visa number, you want to open, (consists of 12 characters) in the new visa number box.
- Pay the appropriate fees.
- The visa number, you want to close, should be used and the person should be inside country, while the visa number, you want to open, should be printed and valid to use.
- Person details in both visas should be matching.
Fees
- QR500, in addition to violation fine on the used visa (if any).

Am I correct in assuming that your husband can sponsor you to live in Qatar but the issue you have is regarding a work visa
Yea considering it big time. We have only been here for a year and a half and we have seen it all...
If a husband cannot sponsor his wife he should leave Qatar immediately! That is, if his wife means anything to him.
There is a rule which says that company visas can only be transferred to companies, and personal visas can only be transferred to personal sponsors. Any woman who is here on a company visa must cancel the visa, exit Qatar, and then the husband can apply for a family visa.
Yea but i am on a visit visa and each time i apply for a job they say they can't do work visa since i am Lebanese. I have an MBA degree and 4 years of experience working in NGOs. I am here with my husband but it is a nightmare not being able to sponsor me eventhough he is American but i am Lebanese so u know there are restrictions on certain nationalities...
Great news.. Thanks for the info..
It will come in handy when asked tomorrow
