I’ve got penalty on my visa under my brothers sponsor even if I’m already under my company’s visa...
Here’s the case of mine.
I am under my brothers sponsor “Family Visit Visa”
I got a job and they process my working Visa and every time I will check my passport number in MOI VISA it says there “my company need to pay my visa either nearest center or through metrash thats why I alwasy asking them when will they pay my visa.
but when the metrash message my brother that my visa will expire , I went to my employer and ask them if what will they do. the day after my expiration date of my visa they paid my visa under their company. they even showed me that I was under their company visa. after seeing that new visa of mine I got relaxed and I told to my brother that everything is settled so we dont need to renew my visa under my brothers visa. But after 11 days my brother checked his MOI (maybe its just his instinct to check it without any intentions) and he found out that we had a penalty 2200QAR for 11days , 200QAR per day... we didn’t know the reasons and whats really going on. thats why I ask my employer again... He said why my brother did not check it and why it tooks so many days to found out that I have penalty. In other words “they keep on blaming me and my brother about that case” my concern is How come I’ve got penalty when in my visa says I Am under there company’s visa ... I’ve got no explanation comming from them why it happened. at first they want me to pay all 2200 but I said no. then after they offer me to pay 1100 because they say I have no choice wether if I ask them to release me still I will pay the penalty. Thats why I agreed to pay half by salary deduction.
But still I really want to know the main reasons why I got penalty . and another thing I got my working visa for 6months and it says VALID TO USE.
thank you so much in advance for those who will enlighten me .
PS: I gave all the documents to them even my NOC . is it still my fault for having penalty?
I would like to ask if I can ask POLO regarding my concern here? as of now my penalty is 5200QAR .. my employer alwasy keep saying it will be transfer today today, I just want to know if there is a chance to pay everything under my employer? I mean even if I want to request for a release. because they said if i’m going to request for release I will shoulder all the penalty .
thanks again...

Sir/Madam I’m still waiting for my medical and finger print.. actually it’s almost 4weeks now since they said that they will set the date for my medical and finger print..
They say that tomorrow they will check my papers if it is approve or what .. thank you so much for the time.
If your new employer has not cancelled your existing visit visa then the penalty would still be going on - because as per the immigration system it shows that you are still inside the country even after visa expiry.
If your employer has applied for a work visa, then you must undergo medical test, fingerprint test before you get a RP.
Did you get any schedule of this?
I assume that your work visa is active but as per MOI system it would be entered as issued but not entered the country.
You will need to take your employer PRO to immigration department to sort this out.
@ dp1510 Thank you so much ,if thats the case can I disagree to them in terms of paying the half of penalty? Is there a receipt that I can ask to them to show to me if they really pay 500QAR that day?
- I check my Visa and its still the same, and the penalty is still on going.
I will give you an example of Family visa - may be this would help you understand about your case.
When we bring family on Visit Visa and while they are in country you can in parallel apply for Family RP. Once this RP is approved, there are 2 options.
1. The family has to quit the country and enter with the new RP visa
2. The family can still stay in the country without exiting while you can convert their visit visa to RP Visa by paying penalty of 500 QAR per head in immigration department. By doing this, the visit visa stands cancelled and it shows that the person has entered using Family RP visa. After this process you can go ahead with other formalities like medical test & finger print.
Now, with the above scenario, your new employer might have not done this and that is why your visit visa still shows active and you had to pay the penalty.
