If I am here under my husbands sponsership, can I sponser

my adult children even if they are not my husbands biological children.... for up to 6 month?

I am asking because my children were here already. They are 21 and 18. They came in August. In September we went and renewed heir visa. When we tried to do it again in October, they said NO. They told us to send them off for 24 hours and they could return after that.

Why then is everything in print saying that a visit visa can be renewed up to 5 times, totalling 6 months? My 18 year old was enrolled at an IT training school and had to leave in the middle of the term. I still had to pay the ENTIRE terms fees and he went back to the US!

What really gets me is that Qatar could in fact keep the money here in this country instead of sending expats outside this country to spend their money elsewhere. In fact it is so stupid a policy that I actually laughed at the whole thing. My thoughts were How F-ing Dumb can this law be???? If they would encourage others to stay, money will be put into this country instead of others, and to me- that is how this country could be a better, wealthier place. So note- that when your oil runs out, and it WILL- who is going to want to come here? and more importantly.....WHO WILL EVER WANT TO VISIT OR RECOMMEND OTHERS TO VISIT??? In my opinion, NO ONE!

Any answers to the first original question are greatly appreciated.

Hold On Sis.

Qatar still a quite Safe Place & by the way you can Pay 1000 Q.R Instead of sending anyone out this is an existing Policy ,this advice was taken from qatar Airways when my friend was doing the same but we already got him an air Ticket to Bahrain, you can also try a business Visa it`s valid for three Months & can be renewal unlimited times, it will cost you around 100 Q.R only but it must be through a Company,anyway who`d like to separate a Family!!! so do your best & if you need any help try to contact me & i`ll start to do mine.
