Migration to Qatar and setting up business there

Post new topic

nmmriza

Hi all

I am Ridhaa from Sri Lanka. I am planning to migrate and after much thinking have to choose between Malaysia and Qatar! I need your help to choose a place.

Please help me understand the Qatar business climate, what sort of small business is ideal? (I am in retailing baby products now and have a lot of China contacts)

I also have a lot of contacts with Ceylon Tea (value added high quality) exporters and Gem exporters.

Also please tell me about cost of living, etc. Is it a good safe place? What about English language schools?

Is it difficult setting up a business there? How do I get extended business visa for me and my family?

Many thanks in advance - Ridhaa

Its not easy at all. To start a business you need to have a qatari,s support as a sponser. Rents are too high. Pls send your mail id, so i can give you a contact of a srilankan who have a Phone shop here.
