Hi, If your spouse is under ...Hi,
If your spouse is under your sponsorship: meaning the visa indicated on his/her Qatar ID or Resident Permit is Family Visa, then there is no need for them to be sponsored by an employer unless you feel that there will be more benefits that you can get if your spouse will get to be sponsored by the company they got accepted at. But if your spouse's visa is just Family Visit, and they landed a job with another company and you cannot have him/her under family visa, you just have to submit a No Objection Letter to transfer the sponsorship.
Afifa said
people under family visa can ...people under family visa can work without transferring visa but most of the companies now require the person to secure a labor card or a work perpim from the labor department if they would like to work.
some companies required trasnfer of sponsorship.
qatarisun said
they don't have to transfer ...they don't have to transfer their sponsorship under the Company, unless they either want to or the Company requires their transfer.
but, as Afifa indicated, they MUST obtain a Work permit from the relevant authorities in order to work in Qatar legally.

Spouse visa ...How do you know if the spouse visa is "Family visa" or Family visit if it says "VIS"
Okay the spouse can work without sponsorship transfer on the basis of no objection unless they choose or employer choose. Then where can you obtain the "work permit" from what is Afifa and what are the steps, time frame, etc.

6 months "Family visa" and ...6 months "Family visa" and "Family visit visa" is the same.
If you want the Residency for your wife, you have to take her under your sponsorship for further RP. After that RP is issued. After that Work permit is obtained in the Ministry of Labour.
