Business Visa Extension - Procedure
By NeeluNeelu •
Hi Experts,
This is Neelima who’s currently working in Qatar on a business visa from last few months and yesterday my employer told me that Qatar government has stopped the business visa extensions from this month and they’ll not extend my visa further. My visa is valid till this month end and my employer asked me register for repatriation flight to India. Can anyone of you please let me know if this is correct and anyone in the same situation like me?
Please help.
Thanks
Please be advised the sponsor company to send an email to the visa section of the Airport Immigration at ([email protected] ) along with an official letter, the
visa copy, computer card copy, to get a proper guidance & approval if you can still extend the business visit visa & if they will open for you additional extension period on the system in order the sponsor company to be able to extend the visa via their Metrash 2 account or through the MOI E- Services), if the visa cannot be extended anymore, you should register for repatriation flight & exit the country in order to avoid a penalty of QR 200 per day). Please note that sadly this month is the last month for the extensions, therefore kindly highly consider the exit before expiry to avoid a penalty of QR 200 per a day.
The above response is provided by GTG Qatar. Contact them for all your visa-related needs: +974 4442 2033 or visit www.gtg.qa
If you want to go back home then go ahead and try to arrange a repatriation flight though your embassy. If you want to stay then look for another job. It seems your current employer doesn't want to keep you so either go home, or start looking for another job.
Hi Molten Metal,
Try after 3 days to get the embassy online or MOI?
Or extension of the visa?
Could you please clarify ....!!
Neelu, Try after 3 days .......
Hi Jorge,
I've contacted my embassy and unfortunately they don't have any info. I tried to reach out to MOI without any success.
Because of the current situation, it is very difficult to tell if that information is accurate. I would recommend you going to immigration at the airport and ask there. They would be able to tell you. You can also contact your Embassy.
