Qatarisun,

So you agree that looking for Job while on Business Visa is not a problem, hence seeking advice should neither be.I think you said it yourself!

So here is the scenario. One comes on a Visit or Business visa irrespect on what ever their motives are. They apply to companies, get an interview, get a job offer and a proper Visa is then issued. They will flyout of Qatar and then come back on proper visa. But in Visit Visa case you dont need to leave the country you can just pay QR500 and the visa will be transfered.

I give you an example of our maid. She came her on a visit visa sponsored by her sister. We had a filipina visa for her when she arrived. We transfered her visa to our visa bingo no problem. Even though her motive for coming her was to work for us she came on a Visit visa which means that she enter Qatar technically to visit her sister, but ended up working for us.

I trust you got my point..:)
