Can Husband Work under Wife's Sponsorship

Tanuzahir
By Tanuzahir

Hello,

My husband is currently sponsored by a company. He has been working there for the last 5 years. He asked for a release, but his manager refuses to give him one. I am also sponsored by my company separate from my husband's. Can I switch my Husband's sponsorship from his company to mine so that he can leave his current job and pursue something else?

We thought this may be a work around to the situation he is in.

Thanks

Hassan,

Can he quit his job? Go under my sponsorship, then apply for a new job. Or does he still need a release. it is getting unbearable for him, so we are evaluating all options. We have been here for the last 7 years, so we don't want to leave doha, but his job is getting really unbearable.

I have gone through same situation where I couldn't get release from my current sponsor. My wife who is working can take me on her sponsership to stay in Qatar but to work I need to have a release/NOC from my current employer or unless i stay out of Qatar for 02 years. This I have confirmed from the labour department as well. Or if you find a way then let me know :-)

I am an UK national and have a great position and great pay, thus i don't believe that will be a problem. I can sponsor my husband that is not a problem. Would he be able to work at his current firm under my sponsorship, or apply for a new job. If he gets a new job, he can transfer from my sponsorship to his new comp. I know people who came on wife's sponsorship and looked for a job and transferred thier sponsorship to thier new employers once they got a job. But that person did not have a job or previous sponsorship. Our case is different, cause he has a current sponsorship. Only reason why we want to switch is so that he can have some freedom to choose. This whole release thing is like torture.

There are only certain nationalities that can sponsor their male spouse, when requesting for this, they also consider the following:

Salary

Position

For your question if a male spouse can work under the wife's sponsorship - NO!
