Dear Friends.... I need you help in a very important issue...
Back in June 2008,i had a job offer from a company in doha,and they got me a work visa (valid for six months,till 15 December 2008),but after few days negotiating,i quit travelling to doha,after this,
Earlt November,i got a new job offer in Doha,the company tried to get me a work visa,but it was rejected several times(because i have a work visa from the old company"offer" valid till 15 Dec 2008),
So,now we are waiting until the 15th of december to apply for the work visa AGAIN,
Will I HAVE ANY PROBLEM IN HAVING THE VISA THIS TIME ?
P.S I never been in Qatar Before..

Thank you for your reply..

All the work visit visa is valid for 6 months to enter the country. If u r not interested to join the company let them cancel ur existing work visit visa. Else u can wait to get the automatic expiry of the visa, if u hold a valid visa fm one company, obviously u will not get the visa fm another company. In case if ur present company (who holds ur visa)is not cancelling u can contact the Labour & Immigration department to help u out. Better option requesting the company who holds the visa, because there is posibility to renew ur visa validity period

there should not be any problem to apply for new visa, as the 1st one was not used.

more clarification could be requested through the below site of Ministry of Interior (contacts):

Your question is quite confusing.

Where are you now?

If you are still in Qatar and you have valid visa till Dec. 15 with other company, you have to transfer sponsorship first, so your next company can apply it. It will be rejected if you will not fulfill with the transfer 1st.

Hope this will help.
