Hi,

I am in Qatar in Business Visit Visa. Now I got a job. and it is said that just NOC is not valid to issue Job Visa, so I have to Country Exit( Qatar Exit) then only the company which is providing me the job could issue me a job visa.

I would like to know whether the rule changed like this. So please let me know.

Good day, i just want to ask if somebody knows the usual process after the "approval for Nationality", my boss told me that the approval for my Nationality has been released, is it the visa itself? And if not, how long does it take for the bussines visa will be approved? Pls enlighten me. Thanks

No need to exit if you have NOC from your current sponsor. I came here on Business Visa (April 2013) got NOC and changed to work visa(may 2013). I didnt exit from Qatar. Check with your new Company's PRO for the availability of this option

Yes , you have to exit the country to get your work visa. I was in qatar and after I got a job there I had to exit qatar so that my company could proceed with my visa process.

Its absolutely possible to change from business visit visa to job visa once u got NOC from the current sponsor. I did the same..
