Hi, this web site seems to be helping people like me a lot. Thanks in advance for those who ready to serve the needy.

I have a senior position offered from one of the govt. organizations in Qatar, and planning to move from UAE to Qatar in very near future. I would like to clear certain points from the experienced...

1. I am looking to bring in my family with me while coming on employment visa, as I cannot send them back to India, as all my close family members are outside India. What are the visa procedures if any? (My company told the only option is to bring them on tourist visa. So, I would like to know if anybody can add anything more?)

2. I would like to bring my brand new Honda Civic (3months old) to Qatar. Would like to know the procedures and requirements (docs).

Thanks in advance.

Simple procedure !

Request your Employer to arrange your family visa, since they will be moving with you to Doha. Once you and your family arrives in Doha, your Employer will transfer the sponsorship of your family to you which is a very simple procedure.

2) You can bring you car thru Recovery Service by road (3 - 4 days) or thru Cargo by sea (few weeks)

You need to arrange export number plate thru Dubai traffic dept. and don't forget to make full insurance.

You can also bring your car by yourself but only once your RP is stamped in your PP which i will not advise you.

Well yes my friend, thats right what you say...Visa on Arrival is only for GCC Residence Permit Holders...

Well as I see it, the only option is HOTEL VISA.../ TOURIST VISA...there aint much of a choice there...and that too is valid for only I think 2 mnths max...but I'm doubtful if you could get a Family Visa in that time for your Family cos I also hear( and for this I await clarification from your company or anyone else here) that an Indian can get Family Visa only on production of 6 mnths Bank Statement...but foryour comp and position Might change so get that sorted out with ur company...

Anything else just shout..

Cheers and ofcourse before I forget, welcome on board Qatar and Qatar Living...

Have a nice time!!!

As I learned the visa on arrival will only be for GCC desidence visa holders. I am cancelling mine and family's visa from dubai and coming. Still my family will get visa at airport? Please clarify?
