Can I Return to Qatar on a Business Visa After Resigning?

Yes, according to Qatar's updated sponsorship rules, if you resign from your current job, you can return to Qatar on a business visa or visit visa, provided certain conditions are met. These include:

1. No Exit Permit Requirement: Under Qatar’s current laws, expatriates do not require an exit permit to leave the country, and they can freely return on different visa types.

2. Business Visa: You can return on a business visa if you have a valid reason, such as attending business meetings or short-term professional engagements. This visa is usually issued by a company or business partner in Qatar.

3. Visit Visa: You can also return on a visit visa, which allows you to stay temporarily for personal or tourism purposes.

There is no waiting period to return to Qatar after resigning, as long as you comply with your employer’s resignation process and any contractual obligations.
