How to transfer a family status visa into a working visa?
By nishiarlyn •
My husband went on vacation, and now he opt to stay back home for good and no more intention coming back here. I am under his sponsorship, what will be the consequences of his decision to me? Can i transfer my sponsorship to a company or in a working visa? when and how can i do that? is there any freelance working visa available now? where can i get/buy? my RP card visa is valid till Feb 2010... if my husband visa will be cancelled by his employer, mine will be cancelled too? will i be put in jailed if found out as in TNT here? can somebody help me or explain to me further... thanks for your prompt reply...

And learn from it.
There is no such thing as "freelance visa". Once you are caught working for another company other than your sponsor, you will be put in jail. You will also pay for penalties/fines.
as per revised qatar labor law. all ladies working and husband sponsored cannot be tranferred to work visa anymore. you must exit qatar before 6 months from the date your husband leave qatar, but if the sponsor of your husband will cancel his visa before 6 months you must leave qatar w/in a month to avoid any problems and penalties. you can come back to qatar on a visit then to work visa after you exit.
