If you have a Residence Permit, different kinds of permits and licenses might not be applied, but you will also be able to apply for a loan or even sign a rental accommodation agreement. Immediate family members will also be able to sponsor personally by you, which includes your spouse, sons, and daughters. The family members will be able to reside in Qatar with a Family Residence Visa (everyone must have an individual Family Residence Visa). The work residence permit will be renewed by your employer every year.
An added note: registering as a working woman means that you are living in Qatar on family sponsorship and your spouse has given approval for work. You can register to work even without a separate work permit
