HI

My husband and I are due to travel to Doha this month, from the UK.

He has a sponsored work visa.

I realise I have to travel on a tourist 30 day visa, but how can I remain in Doha after the 30 day period and also how soon can my husband sponsor me to remain permanently?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated !!!!!

Has your husband been offered a "with family" contract? If so, the employer should be sorting out your entry visa (not a tourist visa) which would be converted to a family residency visa once your husband has his residency. If the PRO is any good, and the company wants your husband badly enough - this can be done in a matter of weeks usually. No need to exit. Tourist visas can be extended one time only I think for a further 30 days but I may be wrong on the number of days.
