I have been working in Bahrain for almost a year plus and came back home for a short vacation just a week before. And now I got a better package at Doha with family visa and almost double of what I have gain in Bahrain.
Now the Company at Doha is about to send the visa for us to come there. But still my passport is having the residence work permits of Bahrain
Kindly some one advice me, should I accept the visa and offer of Doha company? If so should we be in trouble at Doha immigration as I’m having an effective works permit for Bahrain
I need your sincere advice on this

You must cancel your Bahrain visa for stamping your Qatari RP. We have a similar experince with one of our employee came here with Qatar RP visa, he did the medical, fingerprint all, but the time when we submit for RP immigration refused and inform us first cancel his valid Bahrain visa then only we can stamp his Qatar RP. We don't have other option than send him to Bahrain. He went again to Bahrain to his old sponsor and cancel his Bahrain RP and came back here with a new visa again, hope you understood. Take care.

Its true you should cancel your Bahrain visa to get Qatar visa stamped in your passport or wait until your Baharain visa expired.

Or ask with your new employer regarding this.

If you can present a passport that doesn't have an existing and valid working visa from Bahrain, then you can get a working visa here. otherwise, no. The immigration will not allow you having 2 Working visa, especially from Middle East, both valid at the same time. either you cancel your visa in bahrain and work here, or work here on business visa, which is technically illegal and exit every 3 months.

Dear, it's not a problem for coming over here. Just come in Doha. No need to think about Bahrain work visa anymore but think about your package in Doha. Cause living cost in Qatar is expensive more than Bahrain. Specually house rent. With 700/800 Qatar Riyal you can find only a bed to sleep at night. So, think twice.

No problem will happen. Get a new visa and come here.

I was in bahrain also.

Qatar house rents are not as same as bahrain. search for the rents in the classified area. Ask the company to provide accomodation. double increase won't work here.
