I want to Visit Qatar again .. please advice
By black_wolf •
Folks i need your help
I was living in Qatar but I got better job with international company they are locating in Dubai
my previous company has canceled my Residence Visa in Qatar and now I've already got my Residence Visa in Dubai
The question here can i come back to Qatar for visit with my new Residence Visa (as GCC Resident)
And when i can come back to Qatar, is there any certain period???
by the way my profession is Mechnical Engineer so
Which Visa I should apply to get into Qatar again is it Business Visa (I should apply it before i reach to Doha Airport)
Or GCC visa (which I can buy it from Doha Airport)
waiting your answers
hi, can u tell me saeedkhan, can i do the same thing? I left qatar last yr and now I have residence visa under my father's sponsorship in dubai while I'm working here but I'm not an engineer. Can I also visit qatar?
Saeedkan ..... thank you man for ur support

i went to Jawazat many times before i leave Qatar
even i spoke with th Officer there and they told that i can come to Qatar by Visit Visa if i had Residence Visa in GCC
and i can buy the Visit Visa from Doha Airport coz i'm Engineer it's valid for 1 month and u can renew it for another 2 months
hi Black-wolf
right i am leaving to bahrain
and yes my company here didnt accept to give me a noc
so ill moove to bahrain put a new RP as electrical eng or sales manager
ill be working in bahrain but my main focus will be on the qatari market
as my new company in bahrain have a sister company here in same field
another solution that may help you
u can enter to qatar with bussiness man visa
but there is some rules for that kind of visa
i still didnt check it about it in jawazat
hopefully tmrw or thursday
bomor i left Qatar on 11th of January 2011
which means i'm now out of Qatar for more than 1 month

You can visit Qatar as much as you like as long as your Job title is from the High Class jobs ( Engineer , Doctor , Senior accountent Etc. ) they will never stop you from entering Qatar or any GCC country as you can enter with Visa on arrival .
You are coming as a visitor not Looking for a job in Qatar .
You arent breaking any rules .
Enjoy your new Job and dont forget us in Qatar :P
who gived you those infohi.good morning...
a person!!!!a mandoub!in jawazat!!!!!
im sure its not so easy as u think
u said u r already in dubai!
so do it! :)
maximum they will return u to dubai but let us know if it worked
ur info r not sure
even for visit visa u need a noc as i heard
!!!!
there is no problem for you to come to Qatar on a visit visa; you can come and go as many times as you like and your visa will be stamped on arrival.
The 2 years rule only applies if you are looking to work in Qatar without a release from your previous employer.
Good luck!!
hi Black Wolf.....
next month i will be in a similar situation to you
im leaving to bahrain next month
and my new company will issue for me a RF as sales manager or electrical engineer
and my company here will cancel me
i asked a lot about this situation and if i come comeback with GCC visa for one month and renew it for another month
really nobody will give you the exact answer
the rules are not clear
and i guess they make it complicated so people are always lost
please keep updated if its works with you
in jawazet they told me that i can come for one month
renew it for another month
but when i leave back to bahrain, i have to stay there for at least one month before i come back again to doha
they wasnt sure about the time but minimum a month before i could comeback for another visit to doha
regards and good luck
r u sure Saeedkan ???
when you come Air port on arrival
As Saeedkan says - I would wait to see the consensus from other BMs. Or go onto Ilove Qatar dot com and ask the question of a BM named Amnesia .......
@ Black - which is why i mentioned my ex colleague - the authorities changed the law some time ago to prevent individuals coming back into the country on a visit visa and obtaining employment thus circumventing the NOC rules!!
Chairboy u r correct in case i want to work again in Qatar
but i want to come with Visit Visa not work visa
and i have GCC Residence Visa plus my profession is Mechnical Engineer
Hmm Im no expert god knows - in fact according to Qhris I'm thick but I rather suspect that you will have to wait for a period of 2 years before re-entering Qatar UNLESS you have a letter of no objection from your previous employer - I have experience of this - guy in my company left under good Ierms to work in Oman leaving his wife in Qatar (she had her own job and company sponsorship) but i was required to supply him with an NOC simply to come back in the country to see his wife!!!
You might want to get a legal perspective on this.
which means that i can buy the visa from Doha Airport upon arriving
and no need to arrange the Visa before arriving to Qatar
correct ??
