Urgent Question
By Harmagedōn •
QL'ers,
Need advice asap.
Situation: My visa has been canceled last week, I am flying out on Thursday (masalama!!)
Now, I need to fly up and down to Bahrain tomorrow. Can I get back into the country on a tourist visa 5 hours after I 'officially' left in order to stay one day, pick up my luggage and leave for home?
Thank you so much for your input.
Another nightmare?
Shoot:
.
Another FU?
And I still think I have forgotten about one... :-P
Yes Drac,
After that I told you that you need 6 pc's. (2 or 3 posts later)
:-P
Thank you Samya,
I am playing it safe, I will fly to Bahrain on Thursday morning and fly back to Doha in the evening, in order to stay in transit for a while....and fly to Amsterdam.
although i hate Van Helsing (damn him forever) please accept again my bloody,friendly and sadly regards,
N.O.C.ula!

U can go Bahrain and come back on a British Passport, even if u have been cancelled, they changed it a while back saying that if youve been cancelled u cant come back in, but they changed it back again, u can come in on a tourist visa stamp on arrival, i just double checked with a immigration officer i know....
NO POK...
NO NOC...
What is this world coming to?
Edifis - I am obviously not a desert-er... I am a viking, they'd said the Flying Dutchman is no longer welcome.
No NOC! But why? Are you a deserter?
Nothing surprises me in Qatar anymore :-(
I didn't drink the kool-aid! -- PM
I feel sad deep inside me and I am weak.
I cannot help myself as I offer my throat willingly for your pleasure.
Please take my blood, feast upon me, make this moment eternal.

Bloody,friendly and sadly regards,
N.O.C.ula!

I wish your pot taste like normal tobacco! That's because you sell your car... :P
Say "hi" from me to the girls in Red Light District!
Indeed my little Devil. No Bebsi and no Bobcorn for two years :-P
does it mean there is no WELCOME BACK celebrations??? :(

I will donate my bicycle to you Gica!!! Lol :-P
My car has been sold, with profit :-P
In my country it's a say: a kick in the a*s it's a step ahead! So, keep walking! What about the car? Can I drove you to the airport? :)
Had the managers been partners, they would've cared for the quality of staff.
Lol yes, QL.
Here is how it goes with the annual bonus.
You + you + you, yes. Based on nationality.
You + you + you, yes. Based on religion, but less.
You + you - No, based on Nationality and Religion.
A poor boy that works outside day in day out that deserves a little extra, from 1100 p/m to 1300, KBIRRRRRRRRRRR Muskila, no... impossible, shame on me for requesting.
A manager, with no skills and no knowledge about what he is doing, sure..... package 25.000 + + + p/m, no problem. After all, he is a friend.
This is really bad. They will go to unnecessary extremes to save some thousands.
And an NOC from my company, no way... they have this policy where they decide to ruin peoples lives, just because we were hired from abroad and not locally - this for shits and giggles. (no Qatari's at the helm, only a Sheikh that trusts his secondary-management-mafia-of-haram-practices)
For me, I am young single and will survive. However people before me, aged 45+ have been greatly affected with this as they had new jobs lined up after being declared redundant for no good reason other than 'recession' and naturally had wives and kids to take care off. All it needs is a stupid NOC for these families to survive (school, college etc) but no, the mighty Mafia has a policy and refuses to work from HUMANE perspective. The worst thing is that NONE of them has the balls to say no to the face, yet let you circle until it becomes hopeless.
HARAM HARAM HARAM
but try to look at the brighter side of the dark life..(lool what am sayin here???)... with all your experiences and qualifications somehow, somewhere out there is better than doha...
Yes, without NOC there is no possibility of you coming back because as you say your visa was CANCELLED.. so its definitely after 2 years only you can come back and even as a tourist no way you can enter coz just one swipe with your I.D or just one press on the key of the computer of the immigration that's it...history of you is there and its clear ...CANCELLED...
Goodluck then if one of the immigration pipol say you can enter again that soon...(just in case you do, then QLers must celebrate to welcome you back---but you have to pay for all..ok?)
Thanks All... I have decided on the following due to mixed signals. My flight to A'dam = 05/08 22:55. Hence will fly to Bahrain 05/08 and return to Doha in the evening around 6 or 7, and will just stay in the airport. Besides having to drag luggage around. I KNOW I will be safe and not get into trouble. It will be a long day but hey, it is worth it.
Really, thanks for your comments!!
I will make my final "this will surely get me banned" topic very soon, in order to NEVER reincarnate again..... just to be in line with my QL-personage... or shall I just die a natural death, that would be a better twist, the cat that died at his 9th QF life of natural causes
(MOD - no ban for this statement please)
angel_prince2008 NOC is a must before you can come back here in qatar in whatever visa you are going to take. and i believe if your RP has been cancelled last week you only have 7 days to stay inside qatar if you stay longer you will have to pay a certain penalty (not sure how much). How abt your exit permit? has it already been issued? i know exit permit are only valid for 7 days.
Well i wish you good luck on your travel.
oh.. i am really sorry .... best of luck to your new venture.... qatar doesnt deserve you, see it in that way...
this is why i dont want to groom my children here... just 2/3 years, i will fly .....
take care of your family.... may Allah bless you man !
be humble
Have you asked your company for a tourist NOC?
Or, as QL says you could just stay here and pay the fine I think.
I call our Mandoub now !!! im sorry to tell you that it cannot be to come back at a tourrist Visa ..Cancel mean cancel..or you can get another visa from another company but the problem you still need the NOC...Im sorry
Good Luck
Or wait till Thursday and pay some fine.
If you'll be turned away from the airport, can I have you car? Can I? Can I? Pleeeeaase!:)
Ok, here is my solution...
Pack my bags today, fly with all I got to Bahrain, and fly back Thursday, stay in transit and fly out a couple of hours later to the Netherlands. Just need to make sure I can bring KG 20 + hand luggage on Bahrain Airways.
Deported = free ticket?
Nor bad. :-P
tallg your are correct! NOC is required from your sponsor to enter Qatar even as tourist
Harm.. You say that before leaving! I'm gonna cry :(
Last November a colleague was turned away at DOH when he came in on a tourist visa from the US after having worked in Qatar previously. The university didn't realize he needed an NOC at that time. But since we have heard that NOCs are not required for tourist visas after cancellation of the RP. Shalom, Har Megiddo!
Mandi
if a UK passport holder cant enter after then you cant either. you need to have NOC from your ex sponsor. you will be deported on very next flight.
Hmmmm my Qatari friend just called immigration and he says that the police officer told him I can re-enter on a tourist after one hour, this based on nationality 0031.
Anyway, I'll just take the risk and if not I'll just cause mayhem at the airport... and tell them...
DO NOT MAKE ME PULL OUT Hotboss, FU, Climber, The Dude, Omnipresence ....
Harmagedon has been a softie... :-P
QatariLady is an example of a perfect neighbor :-)
DaRude..Nah..I'm a peaceful person.
if i am not mistaken, same thing happened with our banned Mr.Paul, he left Qatar got a new job in Bahrain. But he being turn away in the airport when he want to come to Doha for hols and see his friends on QLSG. No NOC you cant come into the country for 2 years. Period.
dont tell me you reported him to the authorities
if you did then thumbs up
Nah Tallggg... I use QL to vent my frustrations. Deepest apologies :-P
Perhaps MODs reported him as an out-law :)
And it's a different NOC from the one you'd need if you wanted to work here. It just has to say they are happy for you to come into the country as a tourist, I think.
You probably got kicked out for swearing too much :)
[quot:] "I don't think that's right. For some nationalities (not sure which, but definitely UK), you have to get a NOC to come back as a tourist."
So I've heard too.. Better safe than sorry..
Don't quote me on that. I'm trying to find the info on it now. Are you from UK?
Why dont you file a complaint with the labour department. If you think you have a case, go for it.
Ow shit Tallg....
I though an NOC was pointing out work, not tourism.
Yes, Labda...
I got my *tussshhh* kicked out. The gratitude for creating a multi-million business out of NOTHING, is a kick in the ass.
"canceling means I can not WORK for 2 years. I can get in on a tourist visa though."
I don't think that's right. If I remember the recent stories correctly, for some nationalities (not sure which, but definitely UK) you have to get a NOC to come back as a tourist.
Thanks,
Well I am assuming I can come back on a tourist visa, as there are plenty of people that fly in and out just to renew their tourist/business visa.
QL, canceling means I can not WORK for 2 years. I can get in on a tourist visa though.
I tried ringing immigration but they do not pick up, oddly the line is busy at times.
And yes Rizk, I am a goner.... :-( Hate it, but it is the harsh reality. Recession termination, and they do not even have the decency to issue an NOC.
Ah that sucks that you're leaving Harmagedon. Hope you still log onto QL ;)
Why cant you just take your luggage with?
there should be a time restriction before which you can enter qtr again..if ur family visa was cancelled then i think it might be possible..no idea about the work visa..
as far as I know no.
And people from inmigration is very strict. They will not allow, not even a friend to collect your luggage and give you in the airport.
Sorry,
War looking for peace,
is like fornication looking for virginity.
I think the rules have changed so that you only technically need to be out of the country 3 hours.....However I'm not 100% sure about that. Max though you would need to stay out for 24 hours, then you can return on a tourist visa.
You have to make sure that you can come back. Maybe cancellation of your visa means you cannot come back before 2 years.
lol Rizks.. y r u sad ?
