It's not about tit for tat. It's about making life easier for everyone. Do you know how hard it is for any asian or african to get a visit visa to come here?

Do you know how hard it is for an asian man working here, and I mean a professional and not a laborer, to get a spouse residence visa?

I have friend in an executive position with the biggest logistics company in Qatar and his wife's visa application was rejected 13 times.

And every time your spouse application is rejected you cannot apply again until 3 months. Can't a man who is giving his blood and sweat for this nation at least have the right to live happily with his family? Isn't that fair enough?

Besides if I have my family here then I will spend most of my earnings here itself, which is good for the country. I will not repatriate all my earnings to my home country.

And last but not the least a happy and content employee is a productive employee. So let him be happy with his family.

From a business point of view why would i want to invest even a penny here if i can't even get a visa to come here, or get visas to get skilled employeees from the mother company back home to work here?

Any company would definitely prefer people of their own nationality as it is easier to communicate, and communication is the essence of a successful business.

sorry for the long winded message, and i don't mean to antagonize you but i decided to write because this is something that affects all of us (i assume you are asian too).

So irrespective of nationalities, certain restrictions with respect to visa should be eased.
