Qatar employs thousands of skilled professionals in:

Engineering
Oil & Gas
Construction
Healthcare
Education
IT & Telecom
Skilled Trades

These same occupations were heavily invited under Subclass 189, making it a perfect time for expats in Qatar to assess their options for Australian Permanent Residency.

I didn’t have to stress about anything, they took care of it all. Honestly just a really smooth and professional experience. Highly recommend them❤️
