Is police clearance required for all transfers of sponsorship?
By northandsouth •
I have recently switched to a new job and sponsor in Qatar. I am now being told that I need to produce a Police Clearance certificate from my home country, before I can get the transfer of sponsorship.
When I came for my first job in Qatar, 3 years ago, I was never asked to produce a Police Clearance.
Would appreciate any clarification on the rules regarding this. Thanks.
Jok, Yes, That is true .................
I heard PCC is no more needed for transfer of visa in Qatar. Anyone did it lately?(like from last week)
A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)from your country of citizenship is mandatory during sponsorship transfer.
At the Indian embassy, the PCC (for Indian Nationals) will be issued within 2 days. Need to fill up the form and 2 photos and around 80 QR.
This PCC then needs to be stamped at the Ministry of Consulate Affairs (this is the same MOFA but they've shifted and renamed this section, the building is on your right when traveling from Munthaza signal (Radwat Khalil intersection) to Gulf Cinema signals.
This document then needs to be submitted to your new sponsor, they will get a medical date for you (yes, it needs to be done, even if you've done it before for the previous employer).
When the medical result and PCC is submitted to the CID, you'll go for fingerprinting and then in 2 weeks CID will either approve or deny the sponsorship change. If the sponsorship change is approved, they will give you / your sponsor your Qatar PCC. End of procedure. Enjoy new job :-)
