family visit visa for my wife.

here are some things that might help.

firstly, the bare minimum stuff.

1) salary of 7000 or higher (sometimes they approve for 6000 also).

2) six months bank statement with salary transfer.

3) you need to be an rp holder.

4) your designation on visa shld be respectable. something like engineer or doctor or manager or accountant etc.

believe me point 4 is the most important. i have a friend who earns 15k per month, but due to lack of visas his company had given him a field operator visa for temp purposes, and now he is not able to sponser his wife.

now that you got the basics straight... you need a few documents.

1) go to some arabic typing guys near sofitel (there are lots of them there).

2) they have a sample of no objection certificate. get it typed in arabic with your details.

3) get the offer letter (they have sample) also typed from them.

4) get 3 copies of 2&3 and get them signed and sealed from ur sponsor.

5) take those docs to the labour department and submit them. they will keep 1 copy and return you 2 more. keep 1 for yourself and give 1 to your employer / sponsor.

if you already have a 6 month bank statement, then you can readily apply for an rp. if not, you can get your wife here on a visit visa and later convert it to rp.

to apply for or visit visa, get the visa form filled (from same sofitel place) and take it to any visa centre (meisaimer center is good as it has good number of counters).

all the best.
