NEW IN QATAR

Hi. Thanks Chunk. Are there banks in Dukhan? What about schools? I'm not sure where he'll be assigned but I think in the power station (not so sure).

Thank you very much to all who replied and to those who will still reply.

Thanks to my kabayans for welcoming me too.

My husband is already in Qatar, he's doing his medical right now.

Lia, hi and welcome, i live in Dukhan, and i can say it is a lovely quiet place, very safe, has tennis courts, snooker room, sailing club, golf course....... what more could you ask for??

Which dept is your husband coming to work in?

Hey guys, where are you?

Anyways, so much for the work stuff. I guess I have to see for myself if I can work there.

What's the cost of internet connection there? Are there a lot of WIFI places?

Thank you for all your replies. I'm so looking forward to going there.

Does anyone have any idea if I'm allowed to work?

FS is not same like Rasgas? i htought it's the same......sorry Lia for the wrong information.

Hello Lia!!!! After probationary period, your husband will be a regular employee of QP. By that time then he can request for family visa. So for now ,advise your husband to work hard. Probationary period will take about 3 months. He must have a Residence I.D. so that he can apply for family visa. Gooluck!! Hope to see you here in Doha, Qatar

i'm not in dukkhan but i guess that there is no accomodations there. maybe u'll located in doha or alkhor....let me check and i'll contact u back ok....

welcome to the dynamic world of online interaction!

welcome to Qatar in advance!

Lia ... if your husband would be posted in Dukhan i am afraid you will have to stay there. QP have their own compound in Dukhan. They also have Dukhan Boat Club for their senior staffs over there.

There is a lady call Jasmine Jasmine on this board that live in Dukhan, maybe you can PM her and ask more details questions.

Thanks a lot!

Novita, thanks for the hotel advise, but yeah, you're right, its way too expensive. I guess Ill just have to wait for 3 months. 

Panda, do you have any idea if there is QP accommodation in Dukhan? He'll be in Dukhan but we would prefer to stay in Doha. (I guess that's where everything is, right?)

Are wives allowed to work there? Presently I'm a Branch Manger in one of the bigger banks in the Philippines. What are my chances?

Welcome aboard Lia!

I'm working with the same group QP. about visa it'll take maximum 2 or 3 days don't worry....and I hope u'll join ur husband very soon....

You are most Welcome to Qatar

a very warm greetings for you and your husband

and Welcome to Qatarliving.com

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Your husband will need to get his RP sorted before he can apply a visit visa for you.

I think there is another way ... he can apply a visit visa through hotel, but that would be quite costly.  

welcome to Qatarliving Lia... dont worry Novita will take of you. wink to novita

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.

welcome.. welcome.. and goodluck on coming here.. hope you enjoy Qatar as much as we do.. :)

[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

We're both really nervous but we have to push thru with our plans.

Is there a way where I can visit him in Qatar while he's still on probationary period? How does one get a visit visa? We're Filipinos, by the way.

lia nicole ... if he work for QP once your husband pass his probation you can join him. Then QP will sort your RP out.

For a visa it should be pretty quick ... no idea how long it will takes nowadays. But i did my mum visa through the immigration myself only took couple of hours.
