I am a EFL Teacher in Saudi Arabia and my husband works as a nurse in Qatar but we would both like to live together in Saudi Arabia but unfortunately it seems difficult for me to find a job in Qatar and him to find a job in Saudi...what options are there for husbands of EFL teachers..that do not have British/American citizenship?

He can get a nursing job here, or you can get a teaching job there, I don't see any other way for you two to be together and working.

Other option is for one of you to quit and become the dependent of the other, then look for jobs while there, and then try to get a work visa.

I think it will be easier for you to get an ESL teaching job there than for him to get a nursing position here.

Yes that is true..I just need experience and Masters which I am in the process of..but problem is I really dislike Qatar compared to KSA..had I not worked in Saudi it would be ok to stay in Qatar but I prefer to live there and cheaper cost of living etc..I know most people rather Qatar to ksa though.
I'm just wondering if there are any general jobs that he could do for a reasonable salary each month if he can't be a nurse there.

If he worked in England for a short time would that help? As he would be a Registered nurse there..so surely he can find a job as a nurse in ksa as a westerner would..even though he would not have the nationality?
