Hi! I need your help on this.  I have a job offer in Qatar, I am engaged and is planning to get married before I go to Qatar. Can I sponsor my soon to be husband a visa? What type of visa do I need to get for him? What is the minimum salary requirement for me to sponsor my soon to be husband? How many months will it take to process such visa? thank you in advance.

wife can sponsor her husband in extremely exceptional cases. You have to hold one of the highest senior positions in the Company. Also the company you work for makes a difference. One thing it's a world-wide Company based in Qatari free zone. Another thing is some unknown little kakamayka with 3 and a half employees. Also, if you aren't a westerner and your salary less than about 20-25K, forget about it. You won't find any Qatar's regulation about a wife sponsoring her husband, as there are no such regulations. As i said, every case is considered individually.Don't take me wrong, but I don't want you to have high expectations with regards to this matter and later to get disappointed.  And frankly speaking, your  particular case has next to zero chances to succeed.

Thanks to your replies. We are Filipinos and my profession is Accountant. We will be married before I go there. Would you know the website where I can find Qatar's regulation about a wife sponsoring a visa to a husband? Thanks a lot.
