Wife/Husband with family sponsorship to work
By expatliving •
If your wife / husband under family sponsorship of your sponsor wants to work do they have to transfer the sponsorship to new sponsor or they can work without sponsorship change?
What are the steps?
My wife is working under my sponsorship with a work permit.
Can she change job without her current company approval? they are telling that they will black list her if changing job.
pls advise.
If the company agrees yes the husband can work without changing rp. Check with the company that is hiring your husband on how to obtain a work permit, because I think they start the paperwork.
So the husband can keep the same sponsorship under wife and just apply for a work permit without changing RP? What are the steps to get work permit and process and timing?
No, it's not true.
Is this true a wife on husband's sponsorship can get work permit but if the husband is on wife's sponsorship he cannot?
6 months "Family visa" and "Family visit visa" is the same.
If you want the Residency for your wife, you have to take her under your sponsorship for further RP. After that RP is issued. After that Work permit is obtained in the Ministry of Labour.
How do you know if the spouse visa is "Family visa" or Family visit if it says "VIS"
Okay the spouse can work without sponsorship transfer on the basis of no objection unless they choose or employer choose. Then where can you obtain the "work permit" from what is Afifa and what are the steps, time frame, etc.
they don't have to transfer their sponsorship under the Company, unless they either want to or the Company requires their transfer.
but, as Afifa indicated, they MUST obtain a Work permit from the relevant authorities in order to work in Qatar legally.
people under family visa can work without transferring visa but most of the companies now require the person to secure a labor card or a work perpim from the labor department if they would like to work.
some companies required trasnfer of sponsorship.
Hi,
If your spouse is under your sponsorship: meaning the visa indicated on his/her Qatar ID or Resident Permit is Family Visa, then there is no need for them to be sponsored by an employer unless you feel that there will be more benefits that you can get if your spouse will get to be sponsored by the company they got accepted at. But if your spouse's visa is just Family Visit, and they landed a job with another company and you cannot have him/her under family visa, you just have to submit a No Objection Letter to transfer the sponsorship.
they can work ,only thing new employer needs , will be NOC from husband/wife to allow to work
No, they don't have to change sponsorship. They can work under family sponsorship.
