Transfer of Sponsorship – Formality Please help me in urgent basis

Anybody knows if the sponsor company is ceased to operate, Computer card has been expired, as it was direct registration there was no Qatari personnel for the company as sponsor. As my VISA had been stamped for two years, I could continue here legally even after the expiry of the computer card . But now how can I transfer my sponsorship to another company.

what i understood from from your query when you said (computer card) seems you meant the company's computer ID, if this is what you meant, then no, you can not process anything eitehr for yourself as well the company it self, in Immigration Dept. or any Gov. Dept.

Firstly, you cannot transfer sponsorship without a release form filled up by the previous company and NOC.

Secondly, you cannot transfer sponsorship with an expired residence permit. It needs to be valid prior to renewal in order for the transfer to proceed.

Lastly, there is no such thing as formality in transfer. you have to go with the procedure, and the requirement is what i stated above. Even if your contract states 2 years (if that is how i understood), but your Pataqa is expired, so does your permit to stay in Qatar expires. If you get caught by the police with an expired visa, chances are you'll go to jail and pay a fine of QR10,000. Deportation has to go thru your embassy, and it's not an easy procedure where you can just walk in and ask to be deported.

I know you're stucked with the situation, but you need your previous employer to sign a release form and NOC before you can work again legally.
