Converting Visit Visa to Work Visa
By Puneet Korpal •
Hi All,
We are planning to get a maid (I would refer her as care taker) who wants to come here on Visit Visa and in case things work out we would like to convert it to a Work Visa.
1. Do you think this is and acceptable procedure?
2. How long does it take to convert Visit to work visa?
3. The lady is 56 years old and we are concerned if it is legal to have her as a care taker at this age.
Will highly appreciate if someone can enlighten me on the above.
Thanks very much in advance !
As what I know;
1. You can bring her here for visit visa (1 month) if she's a relative. Otherwise, bring her here on business visa.
2. Up to 60 years old you can get here a working visa.
3. If she is your relative, you cannot sponsor her working visa. You have to seek help from some Qualified Qatari Sponsors out there. But if she is not your relative, I'm not quite sure if you can sponsor her working visa.
Definitely she can come here, through visit or business visa. Within a month from the date of coming here, she have to apply for a working visa.
