Can I go to Qatar and find work there?

I am from the UK. My partner has been offered a job in Doha. We are seriously considering relocating provided I can get a job and sponsorhip for myself. I haven't had much luck so far. Just companys saying they will give me a try once I am over there and they meet me. Can I do that without a sponsorship in the first place?How does that work does anybody know?
Thank you

First, what do you mean 'Partner' a spouse or just a fiance?

If you can get a family visa, then that could be the best thing to happen for a person's life (at least in Qatar).

Now, here are some tips to get family visa.

You need to provide marriage certificate. Then, your spouse should get salary certificate (a minimum of QR.7500/-). Then a bank statement (for residency permit - I guess).

The question after that, is whether you both can come to Qatar together. Answer, technically would be a big 'No!'. However, some companies are providing separate visit visa for the dependants of their employees. you could be lucky, if you get like that.

Anyway, Good Luck.
