edbryan, do not listen to anyone above.

only poymaasin is coorect by saying, they have no rights to keep your passport.

alex brod, you are saying nonsense, as Business visa IS for work. So - edbryan - you DO work legally.

Now. Business visa rules are:

1. within first 30 days from the day of your entry you do not need an exit permit. Just get your passport and leave.

2. If your BV has been extended, and you are in Qatar for more than 30 days, you need an exit permit. Go to your employeer, tell them you don't want to stay, remind them that they have no rights to keep your passport, get an exit permit and leave.

Sad to say but if you have known that this will happen, you will be happier if the immigration authorities in the philippines did not allow you to board the flight to Qatar. Sometimes it is for your own good. Good luck my dear.

If you don't have an RP yet, you can find work with another company, go on an exit and come back with a new company's visa.

It is illegal in Qatar for an employer to keep your passport. Report the incident to the authorities.

BV? If yes, then you can work with them. If they will extend your visa, it means they want you longer. If the feeling between you and them is mutual (meaning you don't like each other), then maybe they will send you home.

But if you bought your visa, then it's another story.

But my advice is try to adapt with this company and complete the first year and go home on your vacation.

Still they have you in your neck , you can't get out easily in qatar with out exit permit from the visa sponsor , still you need their mercy... Talk to them in the lowest tone as possible...that you will discontinue to work and wish to go back to your country... If still nothing happens go to your embassy, because if you complian your status to authorities , they will send you to deportation devision and wait a long time before you will be send back to your origin, since your working without valid working visa , no contract no wathsoever...

so that means i can go out from this company

so what could they possibly do?

If your working on business visa , your illegally working you will be catch by police anytime, but if they already in the process of transferring B visa to working visa its ok, but for leaving them with their effort to bring your here , its overwhelming sad part they will send you back with your all own expenses plus refund, hope you will not be hung for so long... Please them they will please you in return.

they don't have the right to hold your passport if you want to go outside Qatar. by the way you are in business visa not in working visa.

if your current employer didn't transfer your business visa to working visa then u still had a chance to discontinue the work and exit Doha.

You just need to have an exit permit from the sponsor of business visa. But if you already had a medical from your current employer then it means that they already applied the change of your visa even if the RP card is not yet given to you and you will be ban for 2 years if you exit Doha. Mostly companies here are not giving NOC, so think twice before you decide.

here are your options:

1. You can tell them that you wanna go home and hopefully they sent you home;

2. If they refuse, meaning they want you to continue working with them, then you have to finish your contract:

3. You can resign but you have to shoulder your ticket and other expenses;

4. If it is their fault, you can go labor office and hope they'll listen to you and let you go home wherein the company shoulder your ticket.

Depends also what is the real situation!

First, read your contract and from there you will know what to do next. My dear, it's a step by step process.
