Visa for Wife
Hi there,
I am in the process of accepting a work contract in Doha starting at the beginning of June. Unfortunately the company says that my wife (and baby daughter) will have to wait 3 months before they can enter. This does not make sense to me and I understand that they can get a 14day Tourist Visa which can be extended to 1 month. What happens then ? Can someone please explain as surely that has affected a lot of married people. The options that I have heard about are:-
1. Wife (and baby) arrive on Tourst visa and extend for 1 month. (Does she need a hotel address and return ticket ?)
2. Can she extend the visa after one month ?
3. Does she have to fly out to Bahrain
4. Can she get a touirst visa extension from travel agent in Souq asiri for another 3months for a agreed fee ?
5. Get an Affadavit from our Embassy (Australian) stating that I am prepared to incure medical expenses and take responsibilty.
I have also heard that you can apply for a "personal visit visit" but when can she do that. We are Australian citizens but also hold right of abode visa in the UK.
Can anybody help me ?
If you are still in need of advice on your wife coming to Doha, I may be able to help. I have been here since 22 Dec. When I arrived, I purchased a tourist visa. Since then, I have renewed it 3 times. If you have any questions at all, feel free to post here or email me ..... [email protected]. I certainly will not have all the answers, but will try to give you some insight on what your wife will need to do. It is definitely a process and can be quite frustrating, especially when you have no idea what to expect. I am saying this cause I have been there. Let me know if I can help. Good luck to you!
Well when my husband got a job here in Qatar,we came here together and we are not even married then yet, but my husband's company gave me a tuorist visa that's for two weeks and can be renewed for a week, ull just have to pay 100 riyals,( by the way im asian)in ur case ur wife can just go to bahrain, dubai. abudahbi, when her tourist visa s finish and just come back in hre in Qatar
She can apply for that tourist visa again (that's called visa on arrival)for 55 riyals....

Sounds to me like your company may have you on a 90 day trial period and they don't want to do the work for your family until that time is over. Maybe not. 1 month tourist visas can be extended and I don't think you need a hotel once you have your RP. You get the visa extened over next to the airport.
When my husband moved over it took them 6 weeks to get us over here and that was mainly because they didn't have a house for him yet.
Best wishes
