| Hi! I’m planning of changing the sponsor (i'm working in muscat) but I right know I don’t have any contract and no passport. My boss has my passport. He keeps telling me that he already applied for my employment visa und it could take up to 3 months but I don't believe anymore what he is telling me. He is the reason why everybody is leaving and why I also want to leave. Does it really take so long to get the employment visa? How can I change? Of course my boss will send me back to Germany but can really go back because of my expired tourist visa? About my visa. I had for 8 weeks a tourist visa and on my last day of the expiring date he said he is applying for my employment visa. It's not my faul that my visa expired. If I don’t have any contract what are the official rues for example I got back. Do I have to pay it or my boss? I mean my employment visa is in process but I don’t know if I could go back. Can you help me? Would it make sense to get a – appointment letter - from him. I don’t know what to do. I just want to get out of this place and start hopfully soon a new job. Claudia |

| sorry to hear about your situation, I don't know much about Omani rules but couldn't you contact the German embassy in Muscat, they may have dealt with similar situations to yours in the past. Good luck. |

| It is illegal (international law) for anyone other than the holder to possess the passport. The passport actually belongs to the country of origin and not the holder (technically). Fayz is correct, i would contact your Embassy or Consulate and seek their advise or ask them to cancel your old passport and reisssue a new one. Then contact Oman immigration. |
