Please Help
My friend was hire by a company on 1st week of Dcember, but until now she is not yet starting her work, and of course no salary, she is having hard time due to her obligations like house rent, food. She is now under working visa on that company but not yet transferred to her passport, she didnt even go to medical yet.Please is it possible that she can find another job, he signed contract already also but she is not yet working until now.Is there any law also regarding this kind of situation?
Once they stamp the visa she cant change for another two years (not one year one year for Professionals only) if not stamped she can find another job and join. Do not join in that bull shit company. ESCAPE.
If RP not stamped, she can try another job.. If all formalities finished like medical, finger print and residence permit stamped, she has to work with that company minimum one year... for further details mail me... which nationality she belongs....
hello there,
Please read the following regarding new law which is effective from 28-02-2009:
**The new sponsorship law will impose jail terms and heavy fines for foreigners violating rules regulating visas, residence and work. Sponsors will be fined if they retain a worker’s passport or travel document after visa formalities are over. They can be jailed or fined heavily for employing a worker who is not under their sponsorship.
JAIL REFORM
A worker who is issued a residence permit (RP) to work for a certain period, is required to leave the country within 90 days of the expiry of his RP. Failure to do so would also be dealt with the above punishments. Sponsors not sending newly-arrived workers to the authorities concerned (for mandatory health checkups for instance) within seven days of their arrival will be liable to be fined QR10,000.
The Minister of Interior has been authorised by the new law (No. 4 of 2009 regulating the entry, exit, residence and work of foreigners) to identify the department (the authorities concerned, as mentioned above) within his ministry which will be responsible for enforcing the legislation.
If a worker is found without a valid RP or if he fails to get the RP renewed within 90 days after its expiry, he will be fined up to QR10,000.
Similarly, sponsors not returning passports or travel documents of their workers after visa formalities are over, are to be fined up to QR10,000.
