Visa to enter Qatar and finding work
Hi,
My wife has been offered a job in Qatar, Doha. Her company will sponsor her. She gonna stay there for approximately 2 years. I plan to accompany and live with her in Doha
She will come to Doha with a "Owning company sponsored Visa" and plans to get her residense permit some 3-4 weeks after her arrival.
It is only when she gets her residence permit that she will be able to sponsor me.
Can someone tell me under which type of Visa may i originally accompany her to Qatar? (visa, business, etc...)
Also does someone knows whether i will be able to look for a job and work even though she's gonna sponsor me as her husband.
I know that in many countries, an expatriate's wife or husband is not allowed to work. Is it the same in Qatar?
Btw I am an IT Consultant / Software Engineer.
Thanks in advance for your help
Thanks very much..
if she is qualified to sponsor you here in qatar, good for you..most of family visa wife or husband visa is able to work here in qatar and no problem so far..as long as the company will allow you to work while you are a family visa, or if incase the company wants you to convert the visa into work visa, it can be..so that you are working legally and stay to qatar...
good luck!
