Friends,

Three months back I brought my brother as driver to one Arabic family through one other guy,
I met this guy through my friend, and he took 2600QR for this Driver visa, as he said this is the expense which he need to pay the PRO of this house,

unfortunately my brother failed the driving test, yesterday they send him back to India (they didn't pay this month salary and Ticket) any way while discussing the money matter with his sponsor he said he is not demand any money for this visa, and its haram for them,

now I found they shared this money with another who is working this sponsor’s relative house he is the one who gave visa to my friend,

any way now I asked them to pay back my cash not fully just 2000QR, but they are telling they will not pay back my money, visa selling is legal in Qatar ,

currently I don't have any proof with me, but my friend will stand for me where ever I need ,

so just I want to know .......

selling this kind of visa is legal in Qatar, or where I need to complaint abt this,
one thing I am sure if they get call from any authority regarding this issue, they may come and pay my full cash back........

specillay they don't time to follow this legal procedures coz all of them working as house drivers,

I need my cash back also I don't like to create any probs for their job, I clearly explained all the future problems to them if I complain ...... but they are not listening to me ....... mainly they un educated ……..

so wht I will do now ?

how can I escape from this deep tension .... please advise me

In my humble opinion...there is no harm in seeking help from the Police...dont know exactly about the consequences...but atleast he would be careful in future.

u are right,

I was not aware of that, that’s y I paid,

If I clear this to police they will not help me ?

but the thing is still he is cheating poor ppl,

and those guys are taking loan and paying this cash, really its too bad , he is sadist,

I wish to kick him out of this country !!

That was a "Family Visa"...& you were sponsoring them, that's why you paid. But in this case, it was a "Work Visa", so all the expenses were supposed to be paid by the sponsor himself.

Yes, you also committed an illegal act by buying the visa, so I wouldn't really go to the police if I were you to complain.

Well, yes, both the buying and selling of visas here is illegal. You have no recourse if you have bought a visa and the seller wishes to extort money from you. Please, people, take note, the buying of visas is illegal and dangerous. You could be selling yourself into viirtual slavery with NO legal rights.
