Husband Sponsorship but company does not agree?

I am planning to transfer my visa to my husband. the thing is, my boss seemed to prolong the process and with that, I actually anticipated that he will not give me a release.

Question:

W/o Company Release: If I exit to my country and come back to Doha using my husband's family visit (and granted that I have already changed my surname--for a new record), will I be able to come back and work?

Please reply Mandoobs, PROs, HRs, I need your comment/s.

Jannis,

If you can get the RP cancelled, and then reapply under your husbands, or come over on family visit, extended, and convert to his sponsorship. If you were not married when your initial RP was created, you will need proof of marriage. Name is not important, as they track by the passport number, not name.

Same situation happened with someone I know. His wife's previous sponsor/employer declined to give NOC or release of any kind but agreed to cancel her visa.

He cancelled her visa and she left Qatar, then they applied for a family visit visa, and once she arrived here they changed it to long term family visit and now she is here under his sponsorship. It took about 6 weeks to complete all the formalities from the moment her work visa was cancelled to the moment they got her new residency stamp.

However, in some cases, at the VISA STAMPING STAGE, some people have experienced problems. I guess it depends on the officer present at the time.

Hi just like you my employer did not provide me an NOC for the transfer of my visa from work to family. I opted to let them cancel my visa, although it was a struggle as they want me to sign a contract again for them. I was able to come back using a family visit and my husband applied a family visa. So far I've had my medical & fingerprint and hoping that soon I can have my residence ID or pataka. Good luck

hi thanks for the prompt reply.

But what if I can get a labor permit? They don't have a record of my name anyway because my surname in my passport is changed by then (using my husband's family name). Now I am still using my family name.

If not, can I apply for a job and have a visa of my own from a company?

hi,

you can go back to qatar even if your boss canceled your visa , you can come back to Qatar by a family visit visa but you cant work , because the family viza is not related to labors departement law.

so you can come back without NOC from previous sponsorship.
