WORK VISA TO BE TRANSFER TO HUSBAND SPONSORSHIP IS IT POSSIBLE?
Hi Kabayan it seems that you know a lot regarding Qatar Law I need an advice from you I am planning to get married next year in the Philippines my fiancee is here in Qatar also My boss are Indians and they think differently specially when it comes to marriage I am under work visa,my contract will be finish next year Oct.2012 my fiancee is capable of putting me under his sponsorship once we got married he is also a filipino. My plan is to go back to Phil. next year on May 2012 get married fixed the documents there then we'll come back here process the documents and try to transfer my visa under his sponsorship because according to some other kabayans its faster instead of me going back to phil. and process the documents there. Do you think this plan will work? or do you have anything in mind that you can share with us?
get also opinion from other people who have experienced the same situation like yours... only one thing is for sure, you can never transfer or change your current visa without cancelling it first... i also suggest you try to discuss it with your company... perhaps they will allow you... some companies prefer to hire staff under husband sponsorship... if they allow you, there is no need for you to exit qatar... ask also the immigration about the procedure on how to change sponsorship while you are still here in qatar after cancelling your current visa... i just hope your company allows you to change your sponsorship... otherwise resignation is your last option... good luck...
actually, my wife and kids are under my sponsorship... i processed all the requirements while they're still there in the phil... your case is different... if you really want to be under the sponsorship of your husband, your current visa should be cancelled first... how to do it ? resign and exit qatar, so your husband can process all the required documents to sponsor you... i have no idea how long it will take ... do you really want to change your sponsorship because you have no more intention to work in the future or is it only a way to escape from your current sponsor? as i said b4, NOC is only required to process your new work visa if you intend to transfer to another company but to come back here under family visa it is no more required... get also opinion from other people who have experienced the same situation like yours... only one thing is for sure, you can never transfer or change your current visa without cancelling it first... i also suggest you try to discuss it with your company... perhaps they will allow you... some companies prefer to hire staff under husband sponsorship... if they allow you, there is no need for you to exit qatar... ask also the immigration about the procedure on how to change sponsorship while you are still here in qatar after cancelling your current visa... i just hope your company allows you to change your sponsorship... otherwise resignation is your last option... good luck...
