Family Visa for Parents

Thank you @iswaria for your valuable response..that's what I too read on various online sources..3 months for parents visa.

I'm planning it this way, let me bring them on visit visa, make them stay for 3 months and let them go back to my home country and once I have my 6 months bank statement and house agreement, I'll apply for permanent dependent resident visa and bring them here.

For parents only 3 months u Need 10k riyal u Need house contract, qid , all pp copy , noc, comany contract visa should be eligible to bring family... though 15k is good

Molten metal y always telling to work separately without family money s important saving also Need but happiness with child wife s entirely different u can't get it back with money or if u r crossed that age ul never get it ,,,

Thankyou @sneakerhead for your valuable inputs, your point helps me to plan for my parents visa, thank you so much.

Thank you @smoke for taking time to respond to all my queries and your detailed explanation helps me a lot in planning my settledown. Thank you once again.

d. Can the visit visas made multiple entry?

no. you cannot make or apply for a multiple entry but you can apply for re-entry visa as long as you will provide or show air ticket especially the date of return. they can leave and come back as much as they want as long as their visa is still valid. the fee is qr200 per application per person.

a. If I come on a work visa, from when can I bring my parents on a visit visa (can this be done the first month I'm here?).

- To apply for Family Visit Visa you will need to have your RP and ID.. Sometimes they also ask for a house contract, bank statement depending on the officer's "mood".

b. Inintially all the visit visas are given for 1 month as I understood. After my parents arrive here on a 1 month visit visa, how long can I extend their visa further (for 2 months or 5 months?).

- Yes all visit visa issued for 1 month extendable by 5 months (6 months total) After their entry into Qatar if you wish to extend their visa you have to take them to the Medical Commission and get a medical examination done by the first week of entry.

Visa renewal can be done through the Metrash2 app. Qr. 200 per month per person.

c. After 3 months (or after 6 months) if I need to extend the visa is it still possible, if its not possible then I shall send them back to my home country and after this how many days should I wait to apply for a new visit visa for them?

- I heard the new rule is you can apply for new visa as soon as they leave the country before there was a 3 month or 6 month waiting period. Now they can just exit the country can come back if you have the visa ready.

d. Can the visit visas made multiple entry?

- No, on a 6 month visa only 1 exit and entry is allowed. Qr. 100 for each person.

e. To apply a permanent dependent visa for my parents, how long should I had to be stayed in Qatar and how many months of my bank statement (proof for salary credit) must be shown to support their visa?

- The old rule was you could not apply for a permanent visa for your parents over 60, recently i heard this has changed and you can apply for parents through the same procedures as any other.

* 3/6 months bank statement of salary transfer.

* Attested copy of House Contract

*Salary more than 12K

*All form filled up in Arabic is preferred. This can be done at any typing center.

Hope this helps, my info may be wrong but this is how is usually is :P

Thank you @Molten Metal for your wishes and suggestions..though I want my Parents to stay with me for few months in a year..I'll take extra efforts to manage my family-work life balance..would be great if you can give your opinion on the clarifications I requested..

I welcome you here & wish good luck ! ...................

Please, Do not mix your work & family life. Keep both the things separate. You won't be able to give 100% attention to your job, your boss will notice it, this will affect your increment & promotion ........... It is my views ......... ........
