I am being offered a job as piping supervisor by a construction company in Qatar. Will they be able to get visa for me considering that my age is nearing 60 years.

I know few guys working here even after they reached their 60s, however, the work visas are issued only on yearly basis. For the age below 60 work visas are usually issued for 2 or 3 years.

My husband was over 60 (by about 2 months) when he began his work here in Doha and he had no problem. What's more, the senior British guy in his office is 73!

Hub said there IS a cap on age in UAE, but not in Doha - says he's living proof of that lol

I am almost certain that you won't get a working visa.
