Does anyone know, if you are in Country under a family visa, can you cancel your visa, go back to your home country and come back to Qatar under employer sponsorship and a work visa? Are there any time restrictions once you have canceled your family visa and flown home?

if ur status is family RP, then u only need work permit.

If 6 months Family visit, let ur employer issue the work visa for u then switch to it while u r in country (cost QR. 500 for transfer)u don't need to exit.

The employer who offered you the position is the only one who can help you. How? they apply for a work visa for you, and if that was issued, you can switch, pehapse without leavig the country.

Start with your new employer, and see if they deliver.

Better to explain, I am here on Family Visa. Was offered job in November 2009 and have been struggling with efficient process to obtain work permit. No one seems to be able to tell us the easy process to change sponsorship from my husband over to the company and then have visa now change from family visa to work visa.
