Hi everyone! I worked in Qatar on April 2006 up to October 2009. I went to vacation with re-entry visa but did not come back. I dont have NOC and final exit visa. It is already 2 years & 3 months ago. I got a job offer now in Qatar. I just want to ask if there will be no problem for my future employer in applying visa for me? How will I check or how will I know if my ban is already finished?

That's right alumnar, and it depends upon how influential these companies are, some mandoops will have excellent contacts, and get the most accurate information. They will be able to find out if there is a ban, and also advice how to work around this situation, because at the end of the day, no one wants to lose time or money in this process. It Needs to be a win win situation for all.

Good advise han. The new company should be able to look into his 'ban' timings through their mandoob (HR) - with the details of his passport from the previous visa and, if he has, the previous RP number.

Lorenz, does this new company recruiting you know about this history, I feel you should let them know, because they will be able to get you the right information and help you out.

They are keen on getting you here, so hopefully it should work out fine.

Does what you know apply to all? My advise is with warning because some of my kabayans have experience it (ex-collegues of mine). My company is unpredictable, just like you, very knowledgeable!

But again, you are the knowledgeable, so I rest my case.

You want me to edit my comment?

I singled you out yes flor and do you want to know why? Because of your tone used to reply. 'You can try but don't blame anyone'. What kind of reply is that? If you don't know the answer just keep off! It is obvious that the OP is seeking some valid advise - certainly not answers like yours! And yes, I do know what I'm talking about here - do you??? NO!

re-entry visa is in Saudi, not Qatar.

Well, I learned my "nothing" knowlege to fellow Qler on board before. Sorry about that.

Well, you are the "knowlegeable" so let us just welcome my Kabayan back here in Qatar.

I don't smell a "conspiracy" here, right, Alumnar? You are NOT singling me out, right? Hmmmmmmmmm!

Well, Lorenzo, the knowlegeable had spoken, so welcome to Qatar!

When your sponsors were told that you were not coming back from holiday, they would have proceeded quickly with cancelling your visa as they needed your visa free to allocate to somebody else. Companies have a certain number of visas allocated of certain nationalities and to replace a worker they have to cancel his visa, apply the ban and then reissue the visa to (in this case) your replacement.

You can be safe to come back.

As for the advise you are getting from others like flor, they should do their homework first instead of posting about subjects they know NOTHING about!!!

But you can try, just don't blame anyone if you are not allowed to enter!

they said, they will arrange business visa for me to enter Qatar then when I am already working with them, they will transfer it to working visa under their sponsorship. I think this process will take 2 to 3 months right?

I dont have any case or bad record left in Qatar except that I did not resume to work after my vacation but I submit my resignation to them during my vaction.

Your ban ends on April 2012. If you left for vacation and did not come back, your rp was cancelled only after 6 months, not from the day you left on October 2009. Nevertheless, April is only some months away. Goodluck!

he does not have a final exit visa, but some sponsors can blacklist a person from entering the country.Is this the same ban as the 2 year NOC.

hes not absonding, but he exited and never resumed work either.

its a risk, but he may have to check with the company recruiting him, because only those HR officials can find out the actual situation, and where he stands.

I think there is a small catch here though. what if his employer realized that he is absconding and put a ban on him in feb 2010 instead of applying for a ban immediately ???

to be on the safer side, you can count 2 years from the date of your visa expired.
