You have illegally purchased a visa. Congratulations, you have sold yourself into slavery. If you come, no one will be able to help you. You will enter an underground, black market economy. You have no rights and can be exploited by anyone who knows your situation. You will not be able to leave Qatar and re-enter. You cannot bring any of your family here. You cannot drive, buy a car, sign a rental agreement. Hope it was worth it!

Normally for expats, you have to come here with a approved RP provided by your employer, then after reaching here do the medical test, fingerprinting etc...

Other option is come here on a visit visa, then search for a job, let your employer start processing the visa, then you can leave and come back..

I dont think there is anything like a 5 year RP in Qatar..your visa is tied to your employer and job..once you leave the job, your visa is gone too, and you have to leave the country..

please provide more details about how you got this visa, we might be able to advise you further..

Who is the "agent" you mention in the post?

I think you've just been ripped off by someone. If you come here under the impression that you can just find a job and work easily, you are very likely to get arrested and deported very quickly.

Why did you allow yourself to enter in such a risky situation.

Even you push through to come here, your chances of finding a job is very low, companies are looking for transferable visa.

visa is for the purpose of entry only and then the resident permit process has to start within one month (finger print and medical commission)

in ur case u have to come & search for a job in the above said month and if u didn't find a sponsor u will be at risk

Unfortunately it is illegal to work for any other company than the one which is your sponsor. In case if your sponsor is a person and it is not a company you are allowed to work for a company which is owned by your sponsor only.

It's illegal to work for anyone other than your sponsor.

I hope you haven't paid for your visa.
