Hi everyone,

Would Greately appreciate your views

I am currently working in India. I got a offer from a local bank in qatar in december, but now they say that they are not getting the work visa and work visas stopped for Indians. Now they explore option of transferring an existing work visa issued to an Indian which is not used . Whether this Option will work ?. If not how long the ban on Indians will continue?.

Regards
Raaj

Due to Large number, and un hygienic life style

Philippines are more welcome now coz at least they shower, dress well... Etc

Rules might change soon due to construction needs..

 Qatar has planned to focus on infrastructure development, hope you gaze the news " 800 High rise buildings in 10 years!". I think the providing the visa is differ from company to company. so in broad prespective..i dont agree with you.

Although you are born in Doha, this doesn't make any connection in taking a visa. If you are still minor or under 21 years old, you can be sponsored by your parents if they are still here. You will have RP by your father sponsor and you can find a job.  But eventhough your father is still here in Doha if you are above 21 yeaars old, you can't have RP and job here because as they said, no visa for Pakistanis.

There are Indian visa problems in most of the private companies.

Transferring another visa and similar short of things, also some time works.

Thanks SHAHEEM.

This will help everyone i guess. Actually the sponsors mentioned last week that all their visa applications ( for indian) are rejected and thats why they want to explore to transfer to me a previously issued visa for an Indian which is no longer used now.

Any idea how long will this take?

i dont think there is a problem nowadays with visa. Most of the reputed companies (banks, oil companies) get them easily. But if u happen to know that there is a problem to this particular bank, then its possible to get back that indian visa u are talkin about.

usually, the government issues certain number of visas to establishments. If they bring someone and finds that he is not good or he misbehaves with the officers, then they have the right to kick him out of country, in that case the company gets back that visa and can bring new staff from india...
