It is not possible to move with your family until your visa stamped by Immigration Doha..because your spouse will be you only. once u arrive in qatar, u have to go to medical,once it found ok (2days time for result), then ur company representative will take printout of those documents from the net and will take you for finger print (CID), that will be entered in the system within 2 days time,,after that representative will take ur passport for stamping visa,,max 2 days....it will be over max 1 week (max 10 days including holidays). After that u have to open an a/c any of the bank and get a letter from bank that u r having a/c with that bank and salary Qrs..xxxx/- will be transfered to this account.Make a visa application with your passport copy,bank letter,company no objection with your profession and salary,marriage certificate and spouse passport copy, then submit to Labor dept...within 2 days u will get sms the visa is approved or not..if yes u have to go back to labour with the receipt which u got submitting the application,they will provide u the approved copy,,,then u have to go immigration with that receipt and pay Qrs.200/- the same time they will be release your spouse visa..pls note that they will not accept cash (only ATM, credit card, debit card)..bye
