Please advice me how to change the business visa to resident permit. i have the employment offer and visa has been issued by the employer. should i exit and entry to get the RP or can we change the visa without exit?
Rheisalyn, One option is to exit Qatar the process all depends on the company's PRO and availability of approved visa.. Max. number of days not more than three. You also have an option of not exiting the country, business visa can be transferred while you are still in the country..
can I ask also, my business visa is now expiring and my employer want to transfer my visa to working visa. They want me to exit as soon as possible so that they can transfer the visa on my name. Can I ask if i will buy a ticket to bahrain how long it takes to transfer the visa under my name. Is it ok to stay in the airport atleast two to three days.
Qatarisun, I was reading through your comments and advise which does make a lot of sense for me. I need help for a similar issue! Can you advise please.. I have entered to Qatar 2 days a go via a business visitor visa and have found that the company is giving me rubbish salary to survive here in Qatar.. I wasn't aware of salaries etc and costs living! So when I have spoke to some people who is doing same job on the same field an less experience told me that I'm in very low wage compare to them! I'm a British citizen an need some help please? Company is asking me to do medical test then fingerprint to issue me a PR. shall I do it or not? I was told if I do I'll stock with them otherwise I can leave the country then entre with a new visa obtained on arrival( visit)??? Please help ??
You don't need to exit. Just get an NOC from the sponsor that got you the business visa along with the new one to Immigration Dept at Gharaffa. I believe you need to fill a form (not sure now). Your new employer will pay to transfer sponsorship. Just ask your mandoob or your new employer for details. But I'm sure you do not need to exit the country before being issued an RP for sure.
