Legal Expertise Needed

By laraine

I would like to seek your legal expertise in Qatar Law. I have been in Qatar for almost a decade. Have been working with different companies. Hence, the last company i have worked with only provided me business visa and they have not provided me a contract. It is violation of Qatar Law for hiring expat. It provided me business visa for one year, promising me every time i comeback here that they will transfer my sponsorship and be provided with working visa. Hence, nothing happens. I have bank loan which keeps increasing due to non-payment as the bank requires a contract and they will not honor over-the-counter payment after i have informed them that i will join new company. they also encourage me to buy visa because they dont have. lending me some money. Due to legal case filed by the bank against me. i wasnt able to proceed with my transfer of sponsorship. Hence, they insisted me to go out of qatar. However, I refuse because my passport has 4 months duration only and the fact that i dont have working visa, Philippine immigration would not allow me to go out of the Philippines again. In addition, i have bank issue. Due to non-existing qatar. My former company filed an absconding case against me to clear their name in the immigration because they were blacklisted because of my overstaying.
Please advise.

the mere fact that i have given them NOC from old companies to transfer my visa. but they keep giving me business visa. That is clear violation of Hiring expatriates in Qatar Labor Law.

i had all documentations from that company that they have released me. hence, i will file a case against them to counter charge for illegal disclosure that i am a runaway. how come i am a runaway i have noc from them. I spoke to one big locals and he said i had big chance of winning. that is why i am asking who knows best lawyer in Qatar.
