I am in London and have just accepted a job offer which includes a return flight home each year from Doha. Do I expect the company to pay my initial flight to Qatar as well?

Qatar is just like any Gulf or Middle East countries that based the salary and benefits of their workers from their nationalities.

Welcome to Qatar!

It is the responsibility of your would be employer to provide you with joining ticket and return as well. Being a westerner, you must negotiate for the following which normally is given to westerners like you:

1) Vacation tickets every six months (some others every four months).

2) Family status if you are married.

3) Education expenses for at least 2 child if you are married.

4) Being into recruitment I have not heard of any company that provides 1 month advance salary. But the start of work should start on the day of departure from your country of origin and joining and return ticket should be your nearest airport.

Hope this helps you.

Depending upon the company you are about to join, you can expect not only the initial flight but a months basic salary paid in advance as well. Not a blanket rule though, you must check with the HR.

Yes, they generally do, don't hesitate to clarify with them to avoid any surprises later on.
