Changing your profession on Residence visa
My profession shown in my residence visa is Technician whereas in reality I am working as Manager. I tried to change my profession from Technician to Manager through our agent but for some reason he is saying it is not possible. I have Masters in Business administration and Masters in Geology. I really wonder why this change can't be done. Does any body has any suggestion of how to do this change?

its just a matter of wasta. ...I used to be an electrician in my visa as we dont have a visa for professionals way back in 2005. now it was stamped according to what I do now in our company. It took them 2 weeks ot process it, They submitted my authenticated Diploma and NOC from my employer.

i think smithbits ...you can do it on your visa renewal... just submit your certificates/diplomas, they have to change it for you. unless the company doesn't have a visa for the certain positions/nationals.. coz before issuing visa on particular name, company has to get an aproval for the certain nationality and position, and then they apply your name to this visa...

First get the Application Form for Profession Change,
get your sponser sign & seal on that paper then goto Labour Dept(near to American Hosp) along with,

5) Aggriment Contract (3 New) (newly printed)
6) Aggriment Contract (3 Old - Already signed)
7) Your PP , Visa and ID copy.
Submit this and get sign from officer he is sitting in 3rd Floor.
Once you got the sign goto the nearest office for attestaion of your contracts.( new 3). while attestation you have to pay 50 QR.
wait for another 10 days and got Immigration office(garaffa) and show your receipt from Labour by showing them the New Application for ID change with your photo.
Then go Buiding no: 1 and submit your application there, you have to pay 300 QR.
On the spot you will get your new ID and Visa sticker on your PP.

What's the big fuss of ...What's the big fuss of changing your position on your VISA? Can you even READ what is written on your PATAQA? Do you go around with, showing everyone your LABOR CONTRACT where it states that you are MANAGER? Does anybody around you care whether you are Manager or not on your VISA? I can't even seem to find the benefit of changing the title, not unless you want to brag around everyone saying 'I've got a Manager's title on my VISA'. I am an ENGINEER without a MASTERS degree, but my title is ELECTRICIAN. What's the BIG DEAL?
It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare, it's because we don't dare that makes things difficult!
rejiputhooran said
Yes there is some deal ...Hai guys
I have been working in qatar since 1995 in a reputed company as a supervisor. The title of my visa was labor.As uyou said it doesn't make any difference
until I try to bring my family here, Because we are not able to bring our family if our visa in such title even we are working as a manager , I canceled my RP while I go on vacation and cameback in new visa as engineer. I heard that even we we can visit UAE for 7 days if we had a engineer or doctor visa (not sure).
jack01 said
profession change is ...profession change is required for Family and Visa on arrival purpose.
If you have a labour or electrician title you will face problem for the above.
As long as you we are not lookin the above things there is no need to change profession.
