sUn, first thing about professionalism is NOT to call others unprofessional. Anyone who has been there long enough can corroborate this. The second is to give precise answers that help. Your answer embedded with if-then-else truly showcased your knowledge but did not leave the user any wiser regarding the days it takes to finish the processing of work permit. Off course, it may vary but she was looking for a typical ballpark number of days. SAP implementations can vary from 3 months to 3 years. Does that mean that I have no clue on how long it will take when I enter into a lump sum contract?
My HR rep still calls what I am going through the Residence “Work Permit” as I was on business visa till now and so does Qatar govt. website. I can share the link but you are smart enough to dig it. If you want to argue further over the nomenclature nuances then I can give you her contact and the professionals can sort it out.
Bluesoul, humbleness does not come with knowledge. It has to be earned separately.
Tepgam I hope that you will get the information that you need but just take anything that is posted here with a pinch of salt. I am sorry I did not realize that you are on family visa until your second post.
you are welcome, shapil, it is never late to learn.
again you mix two things. You are already on Work VISA here in qatar. Based on your Work VISA you got your RP. You don't need an additional work PERMIT, since your visa is a WORK visa. Clear?
Work PERMIT is required for those who are on the Family Visa and wish to work. The author of this thread is on Family Visa and already has her RP, I guess. She might stay in Qatar on Family visa without working (while you cannot stay on Work visa without working). But now she has chosen to work. And all she needs now is a PERMISSION to WORK (Work Permit).
I hope this time you see the difference. If not, just drop it..
QatariSon...my first response was based upon the OP which did not mention anything about the family visa and my second response after i was enlightened. Kindly revisit. Jumping the Gun is not professionalism.
these are two different things.. Tepgam67 is asking about Work permit while being on Family visa. shapil is talking about residence permit. that's what happens when unprofessional people try to give an advice.
Tepgam67, if you have an RP here, to obtain a Work permit you need police clearance and the contract certified in MOL.
How long it takes to finalize the process depends on several factors. ometimes it takes 3-4 days, sometimes it takes 1 month and even more.
If you don't have an RP here (i.e. you are on 6 months family visa), you cannot work, and therefore you cannot obtain a Work permit.
Do I need to do finger printing again since I did it last year when I first came her in Doha? By the way I am on a family visa sponsor by my husband. Was accepted for a job at a gov't facility and they told me to wait for there call in Gods will it will all be fine after 2 weeks but still did'nt recieve any call from them. Do you have any idea what procedure will go through since they get all the copy of my identification cards?

My apology to everyone coz my first post is incomplete. I was only asking how many days will it take to finish the work permit.
Sun, I am on a family visa and my RP will expire next year. Now I have no idea what are the processing to be made so I can start working.

I completely agree with you regarding expertise,
but
How many days does it take to finish the processing of a Work Permit?
this was the Q, if i know a little i'll share to help,
Shapil is right, firstly nothing mentioned about her current status.
so he put his effort, whatever he knows,
the ans "I think the process works as follows" where i can high-lite the THINK.
and when he got the details he said, (IN A HUMBLE WAY)
"Tepgam your situation is slightly complicated than mine...hopefully somebody else can respond to your queries as i am not sure myself."
bluesoul, it is not about capacity.
shapil's "capacity" in Business Management Software Solutions Applications is definitely much higher than my "capacity" at the same field.
I am talking about giving useless advices to people who needs to get correct solution to their problems, and not to be misled.
I would never suggest on any SAP solutions, I will wait till shapil - as a professional - will do it.
Because my suggestion in SAP field will sound as silly as his suggestion in the field of HR and Immigration laws.
you are welcome, shapil, it is never late to learn.

I did not know that the work permit is only required if you are on family visa. Enlightenment never stops. Thanks sUn. You are truly a professional.
Qatarisun, if we don't blame others wouldn't it be nice ?
No one was born professional, i couldn't say a single word, or take a single step, when i was born,
and i think same for everybody,
so dealing others according to their capacities would be positive one.
Wonderful Qoute, in your signature
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are small compared to what lies within us."
i am not sOn, I am sUn. thank you.
she didn't mention family visa, but she stated clearly "Work Permit", which needed only while you are on Family visa.
What you were talking about is getting a residence permit while you are on Work Visa.
completely two different visas and situations.

Thank you Shapil for the nice Info.

Just today i went for the workpermit medical. I think the process works as follows:
1. Your company applies online for WP and you get a piece of paper that it is issued. - Max 1 week.
2. They get a medical date - another week max.
3. Finger printing - another 3-4 days.
4. WP card - another 2-3 days.
above days are just from my personal experience and may vary.
