I heard that not until 2014 they need to clean the pool and also many people that is sitting in Doha doing nothing with and without TR, getting salary and house and not flying. But this are only rumors...

Hi guys I already have my joining date was wandering if anyone tell me when do you normally receive the visa and joining ticket for me and my wife .
Also once I start training can my wife travel out of qatar after getting her initial tourist visa or does she have to wait for the resident permit under my sponsorship
thanks

Hello speedhold nice to hear your good news! I have no idea about the visa requirements and procedures about bringing your wife,but my feeling is that it wont be too complicated. The most complicated thing must be the recruitment procedure. I am trying to understand the logic behind this,what would be the average time frame from initial assessment until someone gets a joining date. When did you do your interview and when you got the DOJ letter?

Joining visa
Congrats Speedhold... U will get your visa details about 3 or 4 days before travel. When I joined I told my contact at hr that I will need ticket for my wife and son and they processed that right away. If u r coming from a country where they give visa on arrival then it's easy for your family. Otherwise they will need proper visa prior to arrival.
U will have the proper paperwork to come inti Qatar with a work permit but your family will come in as visitors initially and once u receive your residence permit ( 3-4 weeks) you can change there visit visa to a residence visa under your sponsorship.
Hope the info helps.

Normally the non Qatar sector must be pre-approved.
In my case I said united is cheapest from Bil-iah.
They will normally have you purchase it and reimburse you.
In my particular case they said don't buy it we have a better fare and sent me eticket from bil-den-iah- doh for whole family.
