Dear Ali,


Welcome on board, Congratulations on getting the offer. Qatar is one of the growing economies within GCC, as you already know that.


I will prefare to live in Qatar actual. im sure u will enjoy as well, there is good life here. i had also came from Saudi to Qatar.


Depends on you employer, for how many years visa they will get. usually here the visa renewal are happening here on yearly basis. like we use to have in saudi every 2 years.


No need for any agent in pakistan, they will sent u copy of the visa just travel to qatar with that copy of visa.


No need for NOC but its better u take the noc  for your carreer may beu require in future to go back for any oppotunity in saudi.


would advise u to, once u get the visa from qatar, then cancel ur saudi residence visa and travel to qatar directly to avoid some processes in pakistan. once u are in qatar , get ur residence permit ready within some days , then apply for family visa, and u can travel to any where.


one single room will be like less then 500QR per month. depends what standard u are looking for.


Immigration laws are generally easier, so if u are getting the engineer, manager, executive profession then you will get the family/wife visa faster.


Qatar is good to live.


Goodluck.
