I want to go back to Qatar.. need advice...
By dayothegreat •
hi, last March 2006 I left Qatar and had an emergency leave to my country and my previous employer terminate my contract.
But after few months, I've been thinking of going back to Qatar, but I've heard that they banned me for going back for two years. I've been out of Qatar for several months and I thought there's a law that will automatically cancel your visa once your out of Qatar for more than 6 months.
Right now, I'm not sure if my previous employer just bluffing to piss me off. anyone, i need your advice about this.
thanks and have a nice day.
spirit2006 said it all...that's all you need.
but what is it in Qatar by the way!
i am working for a co. in qatar. presently i am deputed to the UAE by the same co. on service visa here. But i already hold a residence visa of the same co. in Qatar. While I was here, in UAE, my residence visa in Qatar got expired and is not yet renewed. Now I got another job in Qatar and I want to leave my present co. and join the new job. Can anyone please tell me whether this is possible? Can my new employer apply for a residence permit of Qatar. Is there any ban? If there is then what is the alternative to get a visa. Business visa etc. and what is their duration? Pls. reply.
Better try other mid-east countries like UAE and bahrain.

You can't understand until you walk a mile in someone else's shoes.
haha, i'm not sure either why i want to go back there in qatar. heck i even find abu dhabi better. anyway thanks!
You are very welcome for the info. There are indeed many other countries, but there seems to be something about Qatar that is very attractive. Perhaps the next time you come, you might find a different and better experience. In the meantime, depending on what you do, you could always find work in the UAE or Oman... close enough to visit :-)
@spirit2006
thanks to your advice. well i guess i have no choice but to wait for two years or maybe i shouldn't force myself to go back in there. so many countries better in qatar (sour graping :D)
You need a letter of no objection from your former employer if you want to come back to Qatar to work. Otherwise, you have to be out of the country for two years, and then you can apply to a new employer. That's the information I was given when I came here. If your previous employer wants to be mean about it, you will have to wait out the two years, even if you have a potential new sponsor.
nope, definitely i'm not going back to my previous employer, i will just look for another job there in Qatar.
Is that employer really worth going back for?
i also have been to UAE but i have made some good friends in Qatar that im also looking forward to hang with. i've always heard that bahrain is better and I maybe put it to my list.
anyway any more advice regarding Qatar law about the re-entry after 6 months?
How about the UAE or Saudi. ?? Or if you ask me nicely, i might let you into Bahrain !

im not sure about the duration, but Im not sure it could be years neither, except maybe if the subject did something against the law or a criminal act. i send a message in ministry of labour website but still no replies..
we have same problem. i need to know..how many years actually banned is?
