Parents issue

Sohaib Ahmed
By Sohaib Ahmed

What are the ways for bringing and supporting parents in Qatar. My parent (father has passed away and my mother is my dependent) is about 52 years of age. I am a Pakistani national.
If I get a good (salary wise) job in Qatar, then what are the chances of bringing my parent in Qatar. I want to support my parent in Qatar somehow.
- If I first bring my wife and get a resident permit then get a visa for my parent, then for long can it be valid. After the visa expires, for how long she would have to go and stay outside Qatar before coming back to me to again get her visa validated and stay for some period with me.
- Also, if my mother buys a property in Qatar, will she be able to get a permit and for how long. What is the usual minimum price for a property.
- If I am able to support my mother (support of medical and other living) then could she some how live with me.
- Or is there any rule, so that my mother buys a property in some other UAE emirate and then she can travle to me or live with me.

Thanks for reading. I am new to this.

the best possible option would be...

-Get the job here, get family visa and then applied for her visit visa.

-Once she is on visit visa, you can approach the immigration department for issuance of a permenant visa for you mother on your personal sponsorhip.

-Thoug they have no certain rules regarding the visa/RP for aging parents, but sometime approval is granted for permenant RP on personal sponsorhip.

-Property won't be a good idea. Too expensive and too complicated overhere.

Some of my friends brought their families first then applied for Rps of their parents mentioning them dependents in the past...

As you have been offered a good job & your mother is below 60, I'm sure you won't face any problem to get resident visa for her...

The property option is also valid for her for getting a visa as some fellows mentioned above.

Buying a property is not a good idea brother. Its better to bring her here on visit visa first. For a longer period of time ur sponsorship is best solution.

Buying a property in Dubai will qualify her for a 6 months UAE visit visa(renewable),not a RP, under the condition that property's value exceed 1 million Dirham.

buy a property in dubai then she can come here and stay for long?? i am not sure about this ,but you can get her a visit visa for six months and if you proved to be the only supporter to your mom maybe not sure you might get her to stay under your sponsorship

You can bring her on Visit only for six months. After that, she would have to leave and can come back after further three months.

Yes, you can buy a property in her name and she'll get a Resident Permit.

You can buy property in West Bay, The Pearl, Lagoon Towers (Zig Zag Towers) and Al-Khor. Price may vary from 1 to 5 Million depending on structure, whether apartment or villa.

You can also buy property in UAE in her name. Prices are low in Dubai...she can travel to Qatar without any hassle then but on visit.

I may not be 100% right...so wait for others to respond.
