Living with boyfriend in Qatar?
Hello,
Im new on this site and so far i read some interesting information about life and living in Qatar.
My question is simple: Can a foreign women come and live with bf in Qatar,Doha?...since my bf will take a new job there and i didnt found one yet. Btw , do i have a chance to find a job in textile industry there? We both working as expats,in China first and now India and so far we didnt had problems with us living together.
And another thing: he is black ,im white, can this be an extra problem for us? I dont want to ofend anyone but i dont know how ppl see mixed couples in arabic countries.
Thanks for ur help,
any information will be usefull
I have heard of some de facto relationship exceptions in the immigration dept... ofcourse you would have to pull a lot of strings to get one of those.
You have to ask yourself if it is really worth the risk.
You could face harsh penalties if caught, would it be worth it?
Why not come here on your own and if things work out with your boyfriend then great, but if not then you know if was not meant to be.
Is this guy worth risking you freedom when you could easily be a couple without living together?
as long as it is a private compound with mostly non muslim westerners and europeans living and as long as you keep a very low profile. it should not be a problem and try not to make anyone dislike u in ur neighbourhood. I have seen women and men jailed for illicit relationships as they call it here. They have no concept of boyfriends and girlfriends here in this part of the world. but it is better than Saudi Arabia.
unmarried living together is not allowed here, i think sooner or later it will be known by the authorities.
color and where u come from is not an issue here as far as i can c.
yes mir thats what human being meant . i dont think he was being racist or anything just stating some dark facts of life that white skin probably gets preferential treatment here.i am not sure if people here are aware of india s gdp but they will be surely in about 25 years from now when that country becomes the third largest econonmy in the world(goldman sachs)
I still didnt get ur last post! What do u mean by 3rd world? Indians/Pakis????
Indias GDP is booming..... Hello any answers???
easy let him go to dana hotel beside the cornish and get for u visit visa from the hotel he will pay 100$ when u come u dont stay in hotel u go to his accomodation and stay there and its beter that his accomodation be privat and no qatari ppl beside the house this will be save for u i know too much guys live with there gf here in doha so dont afraid,u will find work here,when u will come i will let u meet romanian girl here alos i think u r romanian right/?
You can live with your boyfriend or any kind of friend/s as long as you are not a 3rd world country passport holder.
Qatar is becomming a cultural hub for middle east. God bless.
Test how strong your relationship with your partner before you make any major sacrifice.
All the best
thank you all for reply,i will take into consideration..so first a new job for me, after that we'll see...maybe its a good way to see how strong is our relashion, or if can move forward.
thx
Before you worry about your accommodation in Qatar, I should ask you, did you check what kind of visa will you need to get into the country? If you are not on a business or resident visa, are you going to be on tourist/temp visa?
Wouldn't that mean that your partner should get into the country first then invite you?
It is not easy for a woman to come into the country (unattended!!!) so, please make sure to check the visa process first.
Very good luck.
It is quite tough to do so...but then nothing in this world happens without risk...but then again u can always come to Qatar and take 2 sep places beside each other and spend the max time together...
So try out this option...it will work out and there is nothing to worry bout champ...
So anything else pls feel free to ask buddy...
Welcome to Qatar...and hey u can always good textile jobs here in the retail industry...

if you get caught you face deportation and jail
I agree with novita.The problem is not the different skin colour,it is because you are not married.Normally you have to show the marriage certificate if you want to rent a room or villa.
Wish you good luck and all the best.

many ppl do it ... but it is risky. It is against the law living under the same roof unmarried. If you got caught or somebody who dont like you reported to the authority, you will be in the big trouble.
And if you do it ... dont advertise it on the forum.
