HI,

I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF A TOURIST VISIT VISA CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO A WORKING VISA IF A PERSON CAN FIND A JOB IN QATAR. ASSUMING THAT HIS SPONSOR WILL GIVE HIM AN NOC.

I NEED YOUR KIND ANSWER AND OPINION ON THIS MATTER.

THANKS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS. . I REALLY APPRECIATED IT.. ONE LAST QUESTION, DO I HAVE TO EXIT QATAR FOR THEM TO TRANSFER MY TOURIST VISA TO WORKING VISA? I ONLY WANT TO EXIT TO BAHRAIN OR DUBAI, NOT TO MY HOMELAND. AND WHEN I COME BACK, I WILL BE HOLDING A NEW TOURIST VISA.

THANKS.

yes definitely! as long as you have noc from the sponsoring travel agency or company, usually they are giving noc to transfer your visit/business visa to work visa. For some companies they will advise you to exit prior to transfer of work visa but for other they dont require, case to case basis per company. just my opinion and as per experience. hope this helps! goodluck

Nope. You came here as a tourist and not to work.
