I'm a Sri Lankan IT Professional and currently in Doha for the last 3 months on a Visit Visa. But I could not find a job. Now I'm Planning to get a FREE VISA. If I get a free visa, can I do part time jobs. Is there any restrictions for these kind of visas? Is it illegal? anyone please advice me.

if u decided to buy a visa, i m not against ur decision, But u must know the some...

1. U must know ur sponser directly. after getting visa u avoid the middle man. Other wise the middle man may be exploit u.

2. Confirm with ur sponser that u need atleast 3 times renewal each year or 3 years visa at first time.

3. If u r confident about ur profession, u move forward...with brave, confidently.

It is so difficult to find a job here with Work Visa, thats what I'm going for a Free Visa. I have spent lots of money to come to Doha and for the accommodation and food. I can't go back to my country.

If you want to work in Doha, why don't you apply for jobs? Committing visa fraud suggests you are not capable of applying for a job officially.

lymisaj, you are giving false information to public, as others mentioned there is no Free visa, there are some people selling few visas by their influence with Sponsor and allowing him to work outside (illegally) and none of the company will appoint you unless you have proper visa, once you got a personal sponsored visa you cant change your visa for another 5 years and within this time you are working here illegally and if they catch you you will be in jail and will be deported. If your visa is under any company you can chage after 2 years. Always good way, apply for jobs in Qatar with your qualification, now a days most of the companies are getting business visa under their company and later you can change to work visit. Some times Free visa holders stuck in this country and you may never meet your sponsor after you arrive in this country and may not get Exit permit to go for vacation or Emergency situation.

Free visa means...work visit visa...its 3month duration and tranferable option....must be a sponser for this visa and has to give NOC for the transfer to any other company.

Free visa....????....Naughty...!!!...no such visa issues..without someone sponcership no visa issued in Qatar and for the money making purpose someone get visa and sell it and they may say you can do whatever you think???? (cheating)...okey do it and see what will happend next???...so you can do with sponser's support whatever you do no problem. its called free visa(choice to do things with support by sponcer).

dear mackman....

IF U R CONFIDENT ABOUT UR PROFESSION, AND U BELIEVES U CAN DO THE WORK UR SELF IN UR ROOM OR ANY OTHER SAFE PLACE.......

dont worry to buy a visa, as telling the seller it is not a free visa, it is either a company visa or house maid/driver visa(good is company visa)

i m now in qatar since 2006 under "free visa"(company visa). i didnot happened any problems until now.not only me, thousands of people are still in qatar under "free vias". They r doing job,in another company, by giving No Objection Letter from his real Sponser.

As telling FREE, u r free (freedom) from ur real sponser. If u get a good opportunity u can change ur job, but all time u need the No objection letter form ur sponser. But after 1 year only, u will get No objection letter. if u want to transfer ur visa u can do it after 2 year ONLY.

really the slavers are the others, becouse they are always facing the THREAT of TERMINATION......

There is no such a visa type in Qatar. "Free Visa" is only the marketing name amoung the people doing the visa business.

I agree with mandilulur,better work in a legal way and stay away from trouble or u will gonna regret it.

A "free" visa is when you sell yourself into slavery because when you purchase an illegal visa you have no rights, no contract, no legal recourse, and are subject to blackmail, extortion, jail and deportation. Enjoy your "freedom" and gee, thanks, keshav. Nice to know there are still people involved in the slave trade here in the Gulf!
