The locals will promise you anything and everything to get you there. Once there it will change and you will not get the package offered or there will be a reason not to give you what you were originally told. Added to this, there is the uncertainty that they can (and will) terminate your contract immediately if they so wish just because they feel like it. Excuses for not paying annual bonus's etc. I hear the guys ddi not have internet connected for some months and there are suspicions of monitoring communications etc.
Despite this, if you go there, stash as much cash away as possible, dont spend too much, make sure if you need to, you have an exit strategy so if required you can take your money and run.
Remember! you need your sponsors permission to exit Qatar.
A number of guys have left of their own accord, some have left as a result of the Qatari's terminating contracts early.
From what I've heard, NAPT are useless as an employer but experts at incompetence. Late salary payments, witheld refunds of allowances etc.
How do you know if NAPT personel are lying? Their mouths are moving!
