FAMILY VISIT VISA TO RESIDENT PERMIT

FAMILY VISIT VISA TO RESIDENT VISA:

STEP WISE GUIDE FOR EXPATS:-

ASSUMING THAT YOUR FAMILY IS ALREADY HERE IN QATAR ON A FAMILY VISIT VISA -

STEP 1: DOCUMENTATION:-

(THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP ACCORDING TO ME, HALF THE WORK IS DONE IF YOUR DOCUMENTATION IS IMMACULATE)

-NOC from  employer(plz note specificallly mention your wife,daughter,son or ne of the family member from whom the RP is to b made)

-bank statement 6 months-stamped by bank authority

-DEGREE CERTIFICATE STAMPED BY MOFA IN QATAR

-MARRIAGE CERT FOR WIFE STAMPED BY MOFA IN QATAR

-BIRTH CERT AGAIN STAMPED BY MOFA IN QATAR

(KINDLY NOTE ALL THE CERTS EVEN IF STAMPED BY QATAR EMBASSY IN YOUR HOME COUNTRY HAVE TO STAMPED BY MOFA IN QATAR-ONE CENTRE IS ON GOVT SERVICE COMPLEX C-RING ROAD)-COMPANY COMPUTER CARD

-YOUR RESIDENT PERMIT COPY

-YOUR PASSPORT COPY

-WIFE,DAUGHTER PASSPORT COPY

-HOUSE RENTAL AGREEMENT STAMPED BY BALADIYA WHICH HAS TO BE IN YOUR NAME.(DONE BY YOUR LANDLORD, DONT RENT A HOUSE WITHOUT THIS COZ WITHOUT THIS DOCUMENT YOU CANNOT PROCESS YOUR APPLICATION)

-VISA FORM COMPLETELY FILLED IN ARABIC, THIS FORM IS FOR TRANSFER OF VISIT VISA TO RESIDENT VISA.

-YOUR JOB CONTRACT SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES & STAMPED BY MINISTRY OF LABOUR.(DONE BY YOUR COMPANY)

STEP 2:

SUBMISSION OF DOCUMENT:-

HEAD TO GARAFFA - BUILDING NO4 - TOKEN - SUBMIT THE DOCUMENT (ALL DOCUMENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A COPY EXCEPT NOC AND BANK STATEMENT, BUT CARRY ALL YOUR ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS AS YOU HAVE TO PRODUCE THEM IF ASKED, OR WILL BE SEND BACK)

IF ALL IS FINE YOUR DOCUMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED AND YOU LL BE GIVEN THE RECEIPT FOR ACCEPTANCE OF APPLICATION.

STEP 3. LOOK ONLINE FOR PROGRESS

-VISA APPROVAL TRACKING-APPLICATION NOS: VB-2016-******

SELECT VISIT-NATIONALITY.

STEP 4. VARIOUS STATGES OF STATUS-

-APPLICATION IS ACCEPTED-ONLY ACCEPTANCE

-UNDER REVIEW-BEING REVIEWED

-UNDER PROCESS-CASE UNDER STUDY(DOES NOT MEAN ITS ACCEPTED)

-UNDER PROCESS WITH EXPIRY DATE(CONGRATS BIG STAGE PASSED)

STEP 5 HEAD TO GARAFFA FOR PAYMENT-

CARRY YOUR ACCEPTANCE RECEIPT AT THIS STAGE(KINDLY NOTE HERE THAT HEREON WHATEVER RECEIPTS YOU GET KEEP IT SAFE WITH YOU)

YOU CAN DO IT ON METRAASH 2, BUT MY PERSONAL ADVICE GO TO GARAFFA OFFICE TO PERSONALLY.

BUILDING NO1- TAKE TOKEN -SUBMIT YOUR ACCEPTANCE RECEIPT-SPECIFICALLY SAY YOU WANT TO TRANSFER VISIT VISA TO RESIDENT VISA-WITHOUT FAIL SAY WITHOUT EXIT VISA FEES PAYMENT IS TO BE DONE.

FEE BREAK UP-500QR FOR WITHOUT EXIT FEE + 200QR FOR TRANSFER

- TAKE THIS PAYMENT RECEIPT AND KEEP SAFE.

sTEP 6 HEAD TO MEDICAL COMMISION-

SUBMIT THE ABOVE RECEIPT TO COUNTER 4 AND SAY TRANSFER OF MEDICAL RESULT FOR RESIDENT PERMIT.

TAKEN FOR GRANTED THAT YOUR FAMILY MEMBER HAS UNDERGONE MEDICAL FOR VISIT VISA EXTENSION. AND THE SAME RESULT IS FORWARDED AND NO MEDICAL TEST IS REPEATED.

CHILDREN BELOW 16 YRS DONT NEED MEDICAL.

PAY 100 QR FOR EACH VISA FOR TRANSFER.

NEXT COUNTER I THINK 64 IS TO TAKE THIS PAMENT RECEIPT AND SAY TRANSFER VISIT TO RESIDENT.

METRAASH 2 MOBILE UPDATE U LL GET IMMEDIATELY SO YOU KNOW THAT YPOU CAN HEAD TO FINGER PRINT.

STEP 7-

GET A PHOTO WITH BLUE BCKGRND AND BLOOD GRP REPORT

MANY FORUMS STATE THAT HEAD TO FINGERPRINT STRAIGHT AND PHOTOS AND BLOOD GROUP REQUIRED LAST STAGE.... BUT I WAS TURNED DOWN AND ASKED TO GET THE FOLLOWING

NOTE:-1-CARRY A PHOTO WITH BLUE GROUND

               2-BLOOD GROUP REPORT EVEN FOR ABBAIES THIS IS NEEDED SO PLZ CARRY BLOOD GROUP REPORT FOR BABIES ALSO.

STEP7- FINGER PRINT- HERE IS THE FIRST PLACE WHERE YOUR WIFES /FATHEER/MOTHER PHYSICAL PRESENCE IS NEEDED FOR THE FIRST TIME

THEY WILL TAKE ALL D DETAILS OF PASSPORT AND ALL AND FILL A FORM FOR YOU AND ASK FOR PHOTO AND BLOOD GROUP REPORT-TAKE YOUR FINGERPRINT -ON THE BACK OF FORM/RECEIPT THEY LL SIGN FINGERPRINT K.

YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY NETHIN FOR THIS STEP.

NOW SIT BACK AND WAIT FOR METRAASH UPDATE SMS SAYIN FINGER PRINT FOR ABC/EFG/HIJ IS OK.

STEP 9:-

HEAD TO IMMIGRATION OFFICE AGAIN:- BUILDING 2 THIS IS GARAFFA OFFICE.

TOKEN-SUBMIT ALL RECEIPTS AND FORM SO FAR YOU HAVE COLLECTED-ARRANGE ALL THIS PROPERLY AND SUBMIT IN A METICULOUS MANNER.

ONE RP CARD PAYMENT 500QR.

WAIT FOR 10 MINS - RP CARD IN YOUR HAND!!

IN SHORT 1200/1300QR FOR ONE RP CARD IN TOTAL

CONGRATS!!

FEW POINTS_ALL PAYMENT BY CREDIT/DEBIT CARD ONLY

MERTAASH 2 ON MOBILE NEEDED NOT COMPULSARY BUT MAKES LIFE EASIER AS U GET UPDATES AND YOU KNOW WHEN TO HEAD FOR NEXT STEP.

THIS IS MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ...ALL OFFICES ARE HIGHLY COPERATIVE AND SMOOTH FUNCTIONING MACHINERY.

FROM OUR SIDE ALL THE PAPER WORK HAS TO BE IMMACULATE.

POSTING THIS FOR ALL FELLOW EXPATS HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.

GOOD DAY
