Working and living in qatar

Good morning everyone, so I come to clarify a doubt I have.
I and a couple of friends are planning to go to Qatar to try to build a stable financial life and maybe later go back to Brazil.
You have to give some hints for us to have an idea about how the place is and everything?
Waiting for reply.

Raony.rocha, as Mandi said, the best way for you to come to Qatar is to find a job here first. Go online, search for a job, keep sending your CVs, and at least see how the companies react.

To come here for job hunting, you will need a tourist visa, meaning you will have to book the hotel, and it can't be a cheap hotel, as only 4+ stars hotels provide tourist visas... You might spend plenty of money and eventually go home empty handed..think about it..

try to find a job first, then come here secured.

And it is illegal to co habitate with others of the opposite sex unless you are married. Getting a visa is for your sponsor to do, not you. And often getting that visa is difficult depending on your nationality and the job you are being hired to do.

Raony, please hang out here on QL and read more posts. Qatar is very different. You can't just come and get a job. There are visa issues and employment protocols that need to be followed. You are young and a "specialized course" is going to get you nothing in terms of a good job here. Feel free, however, to submit your CV from Brazil. That's how you get a good job in Qatar.

Qatar is a great place; no crime, good country, decent society. Summer can be quite hot (about 3 months), rest of the time is pleasant. Winter (4 months) is very comfortable.

Qatar is on a fast pace development mode, and job openings are likely to be many.

is very laborious work to get a visa?

So you have a firm job offer and the employer is willing to go to the expense of bringing you here and taking you throught the visa process? Otherwise, forget it.

Most expats are hired offshore (i.e. in Brazil) and offered tickets, medical and housing as a minimum. If you're coming on a visit visa on spec you may be out of luck - especially if visas are restricted for your occupation or nationality.

I really understood there was going to try life in football and if not I would try that in some firms oil or gas because I have some specialized courses in this area here in Brazil ta all very confusing that the management is very disorganized parents want to go actually to make my life I learned that the hotels are quite expensive around five thousand per month with three more friends would be easy to make an expenditure management because everything would be divided agree?

....but what do mean by stable? What are you specialized in.....Brazil being a BRIC nation, if you ain't stable there, it would be difficult to be stable here.

Money for sure better here.....period. For me, I enjoy my life here - its home for me.

It's nice here, money is good, safer than brazil. However if you are on the bit of the dark side Brazilian wise you could have problems. Remember also having fun like in brazil is not tolerated here, in fact fun is discouraged.
