Me and my wife will work for the same firm....shall we get individual visa or a family visa?
Hi Guys,
Me and my wife will be working for the same firm in Qatar. We intend to move soon to Qatar.
Regarding family status, how does the system work in Qatar? Will we be considered as a family although I am not sponsering my wife's stay?
From the point of view of having kids, will it be more useful if we come on a family visa or will it be more useful to come on individual visas?
Thanks in advance.
DEAR FRIEND FIRST YOU COME TO QATAR AND THEN APPLY FOR A FAMILY VISA FOR YOUR WIFE, SO THAT SHE CAN WORK IN THE SAME FIRM AS WELL AS ANYWHERE SHE WANTS.IF YOU TAKE HER ON THE FIRMS VISA THEN YOU HAVE TO DEPEND ON THEM FOR EACH AND EVERYTHING , IF SHE IS ON YOUR SPONSERSHIP THEN YOU ARE THE PERSON TO DECIDE WHERE SHE HAS TO WORK.BUT ONE THING IF SHE IS ON YOUR SPONSERSHIP THEN SHE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY COMPANY BENEFITS, BUT IAM NOT SURE ,LIKE ANNUAL AIRTICKETS, BUT REGARDING THE BENEFITS PLS DO CHECK WITH YOUR FIRM , AS IAM NOT VERYMUCH SURE, BUT I SUGGEST YOU TO BRING HER ON YOUR SPONSERSHIP.
ALL THE BEST
You need a work visa to work in Doha. Family visa is for those dependants who are not working.
From the point of view of having a family; you will need to change your wife's visa from work to family visa if she stops working in the future.
