Hi everybody! hope you can help me on this.

Is it possible to transfer my wife working visa to husband sponsor. She decided not to work anymore and stay for the kids. The problem is her present employeer refuse to give her NOC. Can I still transfer her visa to husband sponsor even without NOC from her previous employer? how long would it take to transfer her visa and be back in doha if they sent her back to the philippines?

(She will not work anymore, only to take care of the kids.)

but now the question lies on whether you are capable on sponsoring your wife or not.. if you are eligible to sponsor your wife then there shouldn't be a problem... tell your wife to resign immediately and exit qatar to cancel her work visa and you may start applying for her family visa..

Yes Possible,

Ask the employer for NOC,if they dont want to give, No problem then she have to resign then exit Qatar and the very next day you can apply for a Family visit visa.

After getting the family visit visa she can reenter Qatar then apply Labor department to transfer this family visit to Residents permit without NOC from the previous employer.

Not possible to transfer without NOC but can apply for a family visa but she should resign, cancel the work visa and leave Qatar.

NOC is only required if the person will transfer and work for another company.. this is to process a new work visa.. but for family visa i strongly believe NOC from the current employer is NO MORE required .. your wife has to resign and go back to phil to cancel her current work visa and then you apply for a family visa for her.. the duration of the processing will depend on the immigration officer who will assess and approve your application...good luck...
