I know this question was asked on this forum few times already but with new immigration laws coming out in the GCC and with changing economic conditions I need to ask the question again just in case recent updates/development can be shared again. I now work with a multinational organization in the UAE and currently pursuing a new job with a semi-government organization in Qatar. Obviously I have a residency visa in the UAE so does my family. My question is related to my options if the new employer in Qatar extends an offer then the question what would I do. The dilemma is primarily due to the fact that my kids go to school in the UAE and they have to finish the year before we move. So, if I resign and manage to keep my residency in the UAE until May time for schooling related requirements can the new employer get me (only for myself for now) a work permit or residency in Qatar until my entire family moves to Qatar in June. Would be allowed to have both on my passport? Is this allowed by Qatar? Does it need to be residency permit in Qatar or can it be a simple work visa until my entire family move there in 4-6 months?
