Ive been here to Doha a month ago and I have a business visa. My employer is already processing my working visa. If ever I will resign and tranfer to another company, will I be ban? Or do I have to exit Qatar? What are the problems will I encounter? Please help.
The first issue here you enter in Qatar with Business Visa it is renewable up to 90 days. Second,the company who issued you a business visa it is your sponsor, if you working visa still on process with the same sponsor you are not allowed to look for new sponsor. Third, if you came here and use business visa as your entry document and your purpose is to look for other company, still you need NOC from your sponsor, I mean from the company who issued you a business visa.
Mandilulur, FYI my present company is trimming down their manpower everyday. Most of my co-workers have been given their termination papers, after that they won't care about what happens to you. I don't want to wait for my turn. I just want to know my options. Our situations are not being considered in this case. I have no bad intentions towards my company but I'm just looking after my livelihood and survival. Thanks for your comments.
If your employer has paid for your coming to Doha and your visa he will probably not look too kindly on your taking the opportunity to find another job. Transferring your employment means an NOC. If your sponsor hasn't processed your RP but has paid for everything it would be immoral to use this loophole to skip on him. These kinds of shenanigans are the reason for the strict laws in Qatar.
You said "processing" so it means you are not yet sponsored by your current employer. You can resign but bear in mind that you have a limited time to stay here for a business visa or else you have to pay the penalty when your visa expires. So if u will resign, make sure there is one position ready for you and willing to give sponsorship or even pay the penalty when your visa expires during processing.
if you already have İKAMA KALAS YOU NEED NOC TO CHANGE SPONSORSHİP AND THİS VERY DİFFİCULT BECUSE MOST OF SPONSORSHİPS EVEN İF YOU FİNİSHİNG CONTRACT DURATİON THEY DONT LİKE TO GİVE NOC THE İMPORTANT İS İF YOU DİDNT GO FİNGER SCAN NO PROBLEM GO HOME AND CHANGE THE PASSPORT AND COME BY NEW VİSA ( FİNGER PRİNT VERY İMPORTANT ) GOOD LUCK
If ever you resign from your existing sponsor, you will require NOC(no objection certificate) from your last sponsor to again get a visa. If you resign & exit Qatar then for 2 years you cannot get a work visa without the previous sponsors NOC.
If you don't have a Residence Permit you are not required to obtain an N.O.C. so from what i understand of your question, you are free to change employers at any time.

You have to do the following actions before you go for medical and fingerprint processes if you want to change the job,
1. Resign from present job.
2. Go back to your origin.
3. Come back with new employer.
You cannot change job here itself, coz your sponsor is present employer.
All the best

Goodluck!!!
I disagree to Mohan Thomas, even she resigns so long as she's not resident in qatar, then she's free to comeback here in doha in another visa.
