female visa in Qatar

Why oh why there's limited visa for ladies here in Qatar. I've been to a lot of interviews yet there is no visa for ladies. I was a document controller and as secretary in a construction company in UAE for 8 yrs. My experienced is more on construction and they say that construction is a male company.... how is it Qatar?

warning to some ladies out there. there are companies who will only assured you that they have female visa but then at the end of your current visa they will tell you we can't issue visa and goodbye. and worst is like what happened to my friend, she was hired then the company said that they are already processing her visa. but the one month tourist visa was over yet there's no visa yet. so she was asked to go out from the country and get another tourist visa because according to the boss it takes time to process the visa. but she was wondering so she tried to talk to the mandoob and found out that they have no female visa available. quite embarrassing.... they are taking advantage to some poor individuals.....

It depends to the company if they have available visa for lady,, other companies are not given a visa.. try to apply another job,.. Cause sometimes they have available visa..

hi Mennen, I think the best way is trying to post your CV on online recruitment agencies like

monstergulf.com

bayt.com

qatarlabour.net

...

good luck

Hi Desert Fox

i wasnt say about female visa in uae i meant i tried applying from qatar for work there. they only hire locals it seems.

but for Qatar, fact is they hire locals on husband or singles father sponsorship only.

yah desrt-fox. visa in uae are unlimited. companies would hire as many as they want as long they have still that slot. there's no question of the gender as long as the company would want you....

Dear Mimi,

you info about UAE (what includes Dubai btw)is wrong. there is no female work visa quote in the UAE. I have never heard in 12years time that a work visa got rejected - only when your eductaion does not fit the visa requirement.

To issue female work visa the employer has to be registered with an authority here ( I am sorry I forget the name of authority). Unless the company is registered they cant issue work visa for single ladies.

I face same problem. I have been here 10months, great interviews, been offered great positions, from big compaines you would think can get female work visas, but nope. Right now must be on husband or fathers rp.

I was told the quota for female visas are at quota, but wait until 2013. I even tried outside of Qatar, tried applying before i came here and get married. Didnt work.

Same problem when i apply for AUE, or Dubai.

Best wishes.
