Recently I faced the same experience, when one Indian guy came under working visa to Qatar but he didn’t work for that company at all. They provided him a visa only and once he is here, he obtained all required documents for transfer of sponsorship and he joined our company (already working with us & got his RP recently).

So i believe it is legal.

And while she is working she will have no rights if they do not pay her salary, demand extra payments, and otherwise exploit her. She cannot appeal to the labor court or even the police because she is illegal.

right. this should be worth double checking. risks are high, are they worth it?

it is illegal to work for the company other than your sponsor. Once she is caught, she will be punished and deported, and the company which she is working for will be blacklisted.

Give NOC to that company, then that company need to transfer from visit visa to working visa, payment of 500 is needed and also give the original passport.
