What type of visas are available for wife?
Hello, I am about to get a work visa from the company i recently signed with, and here is my problem. I am american and my wife has a jordanian passport and a US green card. Ideally, we would like to travel together to Doha. How can she enter the country with me when I have a work visa at this point in time, eventually I will obtain a resident visa. Is it possible that with my work visa I could sponsor my wife with a visit visa? Can she obtain a free-lance work visa and enter without a sponsor? how can she obtain a visit visa without a sponsor, if at all. Is a tourism visa an available option and transfer to a visit visa prior to the tourism visa expiring. is there any other options available for my wife and I to travel and arrive together? Please help, your input is greatly appreciated.

Anyway, let me try to answer a few of your questions...
Is it possible that with my work visa I could sponsor my wife with a visit visa
Yes
Can she obtain a free-lance work visa and enter without a sponsor?
Not without a sponsor
how can she obtain a visit visa without a sponsor
no sponsor required for visit visa, you are the sponsor
Is a tourism visa an available option
Yes, contact Qatar Airways
transfer to a visit visa prior to the tourism visa expiring
I dunno... but I transferred my wife's visit cisa to family visa though
is there any other options available for my wife and I to travel and arrive together?
If your sponsor can arrange a visit visa for your wife before you fly here, then both of you can arrive together...
Might be handy for you to know that a visit visa can be extended up to six months...
My suggestion would be for you to first get here, sort out your RP and then ask your wife to join you after about a month or so on a visit visa and then transfer it to a family visa...
