husband has an offer in Qatar and the contract has been signed by the company. now they are requesting passport copy and pics and a date to enter the country on a working visa, since it is not allowed anymore to start a new job on a visit visa.

meanwhile, he has a potential job offer in Abu Dhabi, which is more interesting for his career. but it will take another 2 weeks to be approved/rejected.

if they start processing his visa in Qatar, can he quit while in probation? would he be banned or require a noc (while in probation) to go back to the UAE?

PS: he can no longer hold on without risking to loose the offer in Qatar!

He may have a long wait if my employer's HR dept is anything to go by. We have people who were supposed to start the first week in January - they're not starting for another 2 weeks because of visa issues. If your DHs potential employer has a capable fixer and they really want him quickly and they have some pull at immigration it might be faster, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
