family visa procedure

Hello every one

My family is here in Qatar on visit visa which is valid up to 21 November 2015. yesterday i got family visa for duration of 5 years. my plan is to exit on 5 th November 2015 to india and come back on 29 nov 2015 on family entry visa.

as my family visa approved, I went to immigration office in garaffa and paid 200 QAR each for my wife and child family visa charges. I got the copy of family visa. also there is another 500 QAR per person charges, that I didn't paid yesterday. as I mentioned above I will exit and will enter on family entry visa with family.

so, my question is, is there 500 QAR per person payment is required before exiting from Qatar..??

Please help..Thanks

You have to get your family on visit visa first and then upon their arrival get the medical for each family member from Medical commission and then apply for the permanent visa. You visit visa will be changed to permanent no need to send your family back.

You will be needing the below

1) no objection letter from your sponsor in Arabic

2) your Qatari ID

3) Your Marriage certificate attested by the ministry of foreign affairs in your country and then from qatar embassy of your country

4) Your wifes and kids passport copies with the visa page

5) your house contract copy

6) your Kahrama bill on your name (Copy)

7) Passport size pictures with blue back ground for each family member

8) your bank statements minimum three months

Thank you althachi and everyone else for the valuable information.

@ehaxhiu... Mabrook...

I believe within 3 months your wife has to land here, or else the visa will get expired.

All the best for a family life here in Qatar... :)

@althachi now that I have my wife's visa how soon does she have to enter Qatar? The visa was issued on 04 November 2013 and expires 03 May 2014. Is there a certain deadline before she can enter Qatar? I am planning of flying her here on or about 15 December 2014. Thank you very much of the valuable information you provided.

@althachi.. thanks for the info. I'm done with the fingerprint. One last question, where and when can I get my ID? i tried calling these hotlines but they don't speak english at all and some numbers didn't answer my call. I would much appreciate it if you can tell me the answer for this. thanks.

@Jasingho.. refer to the link for the location details:

I hope this helps...

@altachi, hi, if i may ask, where does the service center for fingerprinting located? because im planning to go there by tomorrow. thanks in advance.

Your wife has to undergo finger print after medical.

Photograph has to be pasted on the application form. What did they say when you submitted?

Hi althachi and everybody, I've just been in Immigration Garaffa to submit residency visa application for my wife and kid. I submitted also the medical result from medical commission but the immigration officer did not ask me for photograph, payment and for visa stamping...???

Also, when my wife have to undergo for finger printing? need your advice.

thanks.

Hi Ehaxhiu,

Can you kindly tell me what documents did u submit to immigration dept for your family visa because i am also willing to bring my family on residence visa .... please reply me.

Thanks

Thank you everyone for the information you provided. Everything is clear now and I have a pretty good idea of what I need to do. Thanks again.

This is a visit visa for your family. Once she arrives here,she has to go for medical and fingerprint to get residence permit. This is the procedure here. There is no mistake. Dont worry !

just type ur passport number & nationality Followed by this link

thank u

Print the visa paying the amount in any of the nearest service center and your wife can travel here with that visa.

Once she is here, visit the medical commission and have to undergo medical and after the result u need to go for finger print.. Once you get these things done, visit the service center again and pay the fee for residence visa. For 1 year it costs 400 Riyal and for 4 or 5 years it costs 900 QAR.

U need to carry your id copy as well along with her visa copy (which you got from service center), an application need to be filled with a recent photo and debit/credit card for making payment. Thats it.. in 2 minutes of time they will stamp the visa in passport.

All the best.

thank you althachi. according to your experience, what do I need to do once my wife is here?

Nope..that doesnt mean its a family visit visa.. It is family residence visa itself.. Coz off late all the results were coming under visit sections.

Even I experienced the same, but I got family residence visa though it was under visit.

Hope this helps...
