Thanks for the respones, while my company is confident that they can get the visa a) becuase they have good n smart mandooob b) the Sheikh / Local has said that if problems arise he will intervine....

To play safe, I will still tel them that you get my Qatar PR first before I resige....

I also been told by some other Pakistani's in Qatar that now a days visa for Pakistani's are relaxed it used to be very diffult say 3 years back or so.

worst case, if I resign and do not have UAE residency how soon can they get my business visa? and can my family also come with me on business visa? i.e. will company be able to get their business visas also along with me in case my residency is delayed?

Thanks for your valuablre inputs

Regards, Irfan
