Hello Everyone,


I have just been advised by my employer in Qatar that i will be provided with a temporary accomodation as a shared accomodation before i will get my residence visa.


Is it what normally happens.


Please advise with your experience.


Thanks

As Shonasuvanna said yes and no. It all depends on mobility team working with the company and your company policy. You might want to have a chat with your HR/Mobility team if you don't want to share.

Hi,,, Unfortunately / fortunately yes... Better for you if you are newbie in this country. All weekends are party days here..people have nothing to do ..so they will call their friends home and may ignore you as an occupant... taken for granted...so if you are a party person its all a smooth sail unless you develop a common friendship with room partners. People are smart and rich and ofcourse without brains...so they wont care for you as a room partner and may even gossip...so warning be strick with them...indicate them that they have to mind their business and we are just flat partners and do not bother.  You need to be firm and strict or they will make all atttempts to keep you in a  corner and behave as if they own the complete house. I think i removed too much of my frustration ... but it feels good now... Thanks anyways..

It depends on your Company's policy. There are no standard rules. If you are in a major post most of the Companies will provide you individual accommodation and if you are not falling under the major posts then they will normally give a  single room or shared accommodation depending on your designation.
