Visa for partner

Hi all

I am currently going through the interview process for a 2 year contract in Qatar. However, I want to know if there are any possibilities of obtaining a visa for my partner. We are not married and so looking into it there is zero chance of getting a visa as a dependent.

As such are there any options for getting a long term tourist visa as my partner will not be working during our time in Qatar.

The tourist visa's seem to only be for one month renewable for a further one month. I do not want the uncertainty month to month and so if not possible for my partner to get a visa I will not go.

Thanks
Richard

there is no option for you and your girl, as long as you guys are unmarried.

As floor mentioned, either marry her, or let her find a job, i.e. get sponsored by the company, since you cannot sponsor her. Without a sponsor she can only be a tourist here, and yes you are right, she will have to exit and enter qatar every two months.

1. Marry her so she could get a dependent visa;

2. Don't push through with your application

3. Ask your partner to look for herself a work where she can have her own working visa, BUT live-in relationship here although can work-out is HARAM (if you are caught);

4. Choose either of the above options!

Hope that help!
