Once sponsored by your company, your visit visa will be switched to a Residency permit, which will have to be renewed every couple of years.....your family can be sponsored by you to get them a residency permit as well. YOu need an RP for stuff like opening a bank account here, drivers license, etc...

 

Qatarization is encouraged, so if a local CAN do your job, you may well be replaced.

 

Good luck, and stay safe.

 

Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
