What is a free lance visa? Im confused

By koturphil

I've heard about this free lance visa. Is it legal? Can you really buy your own visa and work on other companies, without any sponsorship? Because if that is really indeed legal, then it's like "GOODBYE BURDEN!" Anybody can just work anywhere and leave anytime they want.

I am not interested about buying one but I'm afraid for some people whom I know personally and they want to have this free lance visa. I don't know much about this stuffs but I just want to make sure my friend will go through a right path. I know it's their personal life and it's their personal decision but at least I have to say something and give them advice.

There's no such thing as free Visa... more ... let say if you are caught by the police working on other's outside your visa sponsor will surely goes to sit in jail or be jailed. period more period.

Freelancer Visa is legal and not illegal..but if you will used them for employment, no employer will allow you not under their sponsorship because it is in fact illegal under qatar labour law.

I love my friends, that is why I am doing this.

And I need them, they complete me. I want them to follow a right path. But I can't just give them advice about something that I don't know. :(

I got the point that it's illegal,

I want to say something that makes sense to make them change their minds. Like scare them or something regarding punishments.

Better to set up your own business, so you'll be your sponsor

By koturphil• 30 Apr 2013 10:07

but what else should I tell them?

I can tell them, "My dear, that's illegal!"

but that's it? period?

I want to tell them more

I am just concerned because some people say it's good, because no need to be under sponsorship. I don't know much about this. Can you give me some ideas?
