Dear friends,

My husband need to change his sponsorship to another company as he got new job now. He already has family status so we are all staying in Doha since 10 yrs. New company requested him to change his visa after 1 month and 3 months are his probation period. But new company offered him 8000/-Qr salary and after one months they will increase his salary.

So we want to know with his 8000/-Qr, is it possible to change his sponsorship with family status. If we change sponsorship that will make any problem in his family visa? Our child is studying here so want to know all procedures before changing his sponsorship with this 8000/-Qr salary?

Please advise me. Thanks

Mr.Mohamed800 is correct.Family status is not going to affect when you change the sponsorship.Unless you cancel the visa & come back in new visa will be problem.

As far as i know, as long as it's an in country or local transfer with NOC letter and transfer paper signed by both new & old employers, family status is not relevant for this. Usually when your visa changed to the new sponsor, the dependents will go along with that automatically. This is what i know & check with experts and the new company pro. Wish you good luck and enjoy the added benefits offered by the new company.

But new company required to change visa to there, no need NOC only should change sponsorship. That's why we are tensed with this. If anyone knows thoroughly please advise at the earliest.

Hi, This all depends on how your husband sponsorship transfer; If he gets NOC and release letter from the current sponsor you don't need to worry, If he gets only NOC from the current sponsor then process starts from the beginning......and make sure in his offer letter needs to state for family status.

Marie, I heared it's possible to transfer with previous company status to new company, there is no issue once we have family status. But some others told me it's very difficult to transfer family visa to new company if the salary is below 10,000/-Qr. So I confused and need advise from experienced people. Some people told me if he change sponsorship, automatically change our family status & no need other formalities like fresh appliers. Let us wait for others advise. Thanks

Hi I have a similar issue too. I am planning to come under my husband's sponsorship as I resigned from my previous company. But he already has family visa as my son is under him. Will he has to re-apply for the family status since he is trying to sponsor his wife (me) or can he use the previous family status just to transfer? and what is the expected salary?
