if you have submitted your case for sponsorship changing before expiry and when your case of changing is in processing and your visa expire then it is okand you have to pay only fine.i think fine is Qr 200

The question is: How legal is to do the new visa with a new company AFTER the expiry of the present visa without leaving Qatar? My present sponsor's agreed to give me NOC. He is frightning me that Immigration will not do the new visa for me as the old one wil be expired.

As far as I know the fine of overstaying is QR10 a day (as I was told in Ministry of Labour Disagreements) and is paid by your sponsor. My situation is that my present visa is expiring,but I have a couple of job offers which will materialize in a couple of weeks. I don't realy want to renew my visa with my current sponsor as he was *crewing me badly for the last year, but I can't start working for anybody else yet as I'm at the stage of interviewing and meeting. How legal is to do the new visa with a new company without leaving Qatar? My present sponsor's agreed to give me NOC.

i think if your sponsor give you NOC then you have to pay the palenty of Qr 200 per day and you can proceed, but it is better that you should consult some legel advisor,

Your Residence permit is expired. It means you do NOT have any residence permit. The grace period is given to finalize your matters in Qatar in case you didn't have enough time, and to leave the country. Grace period doesn't mean you have a valid RP. And since you do not have an RP, WHAT the he'll are you going to transfer? You have to renew your RP with your current sponsor, after that you can transfer your RP.
