housemaid visa woes
Hi Everyone..
I need to know some quick information. My husband has recently got a job offer in QA and is a indian national.I have 2 small children and would really like my indian maid to accompany us. I understand that maids from the same nationality are not permitted. My question is, can i sponsor her since i am a british national? If so, what is the procedure?
born and brought up here.
schooling done here....resided in india for 6 years of engineering and masters........then back here again.
happy heart
drive safe cos someone is waiting for u at home
yes thats right...im an indian with a british nationality presently residing in new delhi...tell me, how long have you been in qatar....
hi jez,
there have been talks that similar nationalities will not be allowed to brought as maids...but there are always exceptions. here the fact that u have a british national passport could help you.
even then it usually depends upon the person (mandoop) who gets the immigration works done.
being a QA staff should also help.
but like i said i dont think u can get her along with you if u are coming along with your husband.it cud take time but its possible.
where are u located at present?
are u an indian with british nationality?
happy heart

thank you very much han19. this info will definately help especially knowing that there is a chance. my kids are very attached to my houemaid as shes been with us for about 4 years and is just like a family member now. Keep me posted if you get to know anything else.
hey jez.
ur hubby is indian and u are british nationality.
if he comes here its indian visa and u accompany him so you are on his visa.
for you to sponsor a maid you need to be on your own visa.
its not necessary that they dont issue the indian visa...if u can get the right person to pursue the visa then it can be done on your husbands visa. it may help if your passport shows british national.cant say for sure.
having said that you cant get the maid until your hubby's visa is done so he can get you and the kids here or even if all of you are together here.........until all your visa formalities (residence permits) are done with you cant apply for the maid bcos they ask for proof of residence of husband and wife while submitting the application.
last straw would be to get a job and change your sponsorship which is a very dicey situation (i dont suggest it) and then u can get her on your own visa.
happy heart
