Part time/Additional work

Laws concerning part time work have recently been changed. It is now legal to undertake part time work in addition to your primary job if you have the permission of your employer.

This was excerpt from Qatar Living also, so please bear in mind that most laborer people here are after the earnings for their family and love one, and not to betray their employer... Some employer are also violating Qatar Labor Code, so which violates the most gravity? The employee who wants to earn a little outside his/her regular working hours, or the employer who refuse to give the benefits rightfully for the employee?

Do it on your own risk....

I have heard that(don't know how far it's true)one has to take the NOC from its present employer in order to work on weekends or to start different business..But i am not sure though...

Illegal but seems to be largely in practice.

Yes as far as i know you are not allowed to work else where other than what is offered to you by your sponsor.Regardless of what visa you got.don't take a chance i would say.

Now people do small time jobs like photography or teaching academics or cultural activities etc,but stll it's all done under the radar.well,if you look there are lots of them who has been doing this for years,and still no probs.maybe their luck.

It's in Qatar Labor Code that you can't have yourself another job, may it be full time or part time. :)

By definition, you're not allowed to have more than 1 job.
