1.i came here first on tourist visit visa, it expires and i need to exit bahrain get a business visa valid for 3 months but renewwable. i got it from gulf paradise hotel, - Actually this is where your problem started, the moment you bought a business visa. Buying and selling of visa is illegal in Qatar. It does not matter whether others did it and are now successful in Qatar. This process is still illegal.
2. now the cost of renew every month is 1000QAR... - This is because it is illegal. They are making a business out of the business visa. The Ministry only charges QR200 for each month of renewal. (BTW. You have just exposed the hotel because of this post).
3. so before it expires again to renew for a month i decided to grab the opportunity to have a job, eventough the job is not that promising,only 2500QAR no accomodation and no transpo, just to save me from paying 1000QAR on renewing my visa..... - Now this is where the "sh*t hits the fan" as they say. You should have known the implications of signing a work contract with any company here.
4. now heres where my problem starts....this company, when i completed my requirements for me to have a work visa,told me that i will start to work once the visa is released..it was released after 5 days...a work visit visa valid for 5 years with a proffesion of electrical technician. - You have a work visa from 'this company'. This means 'this company' is your sponsor now.
5. now that was on the 1st week of may...now it has been almost a month of not having any work, not having any medical or finger printing...so i decided to look for a job and finally landed on the job that suits my qualifications...now i told the new company about my situation and they told me that since im not having medical and finger printing, they can transfer my visa to them...all i need is an NOC on my company who provide the work visa...now the company is not giving me an NOC... - Giving the NOC is 'this company' prerogative.
6. they said that if im going to work into another company and since i dont have a IQAMA/PATAKA...they will cancel my visa..... - Being your sponsor, yes, they can do that.
7. does it mean i need to exit qatar??? YES
8. and does it mean i will be ban here for 2 years??? YES
9. how can i work here if i will be ban?? Wait for the 2 years or better yet try another place.
