Getting Family visa
I am working in a company as Operations manager and my monthly salary is 30000QR. I understand that there are few mandatory requirements for getting the family visa out of which I am not able to 100% comply in 2 points. First is, since company has provided me the house thus I dont have the rent agreement in my name. I can get rent agreement in favor of my company and an endorsement letter confirming that the house is provided to me from company. Second issue is now I can provide bank statement for my salary only for 3 months. Besides all other documents like marriage certificate, children's birth certificates etc are already with me duly attested from authorities. Kindly share your view and experience and suggest me whether I can get visa for my family...
Thanks
