I work for a company from Oz. They have told the employees that we have to pay for our visas for our family. Does any one know what Qatar labour law states as i think its disgusting that we have to pay when the company wants us to work for them in qatar??????

Be interesting to hear peoples views......

Employers pay for the work visa of the employees. When employees will get his family, they will shoulder the family visa expense.

You are the employee, your employer pays for YOUR visa. You have a family and want them with you, YOU pay for their visas because YOU are sponsoring YOUR family.
