I am going soon to visit Erbil as well, and I know a few friends in Qtar. If you need their help I can give you their details on skype. YOu may call me any time: my skype is: ahsanahsn720

Hi Lee101,

I have lived in Qatar for 7 years before moving recently to Bahrain; and I think Qatar image is quite different from the one you have in mind.

Expats in Qatar are more than the local citizens and you can meet them everywhere, wherever you will stay you will be surrounded with lots of them and you will be able to have many friends once you socialize with your neighbors.

Since your husband already has his work permit, then he has to arrange for your residence visa so that you can join him and start the immigration process to get your residence permit. Process time vary based on how fast the PRO is but usually it shouldn't take more than 3-4 weeks.

However the society is conservative as you said, but you will have the opportunity to work and excel in your career, It would be good if you follow the Qatari newspapers classifieds section to check the offered vacancies which may suit your skills. Also you can check the websites of the major organizations in the Qatari market to get an idea about the market demands.

If all fails, independent and international schools are many; you can apply through the website of the ministry of Education; also language training centers are many as well and it's a kind of part time job that might suit you better.

As far as you wearing decent cloth, you won't be having any problems at all … You are not obliged to wear hijab as you mentioned.

I'm sure you will have a great time over there.

The following website may give you some more information for your reference.

Hope this helps:)

Cheers
