How can my boyfriend who currently works for a government office there get me and our baby a visit visa? How long can we stay there in doha and can we also get married there as well? Can we stay together in his house there? Can you give us advice and the steps to take for getting visa and requirements for marriage there in Qatar? It will be greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance

much easier to get a civil married first then apply for the visa,this way you can stay with him legally with no worries at all

thanks for your answers but I really would like some help on this. We want to get married in Qatar. The fact that we are getting married there is it not proof enough for Qatari officials to know that we will be legal and enough requirement for us to stay with my fiance in his house? We were supposed to get married here in the Philippines but he didn't have time for us to set the wedding here..Thanks again!

Dear,

Why dont you let your boy friend arrange the things for you if he really wants to marry you here. The process would be long and lots of documentations needed.

I have a friend who got married here (no child) lots of documentation needed and takes long time to get their marriage certificate issued and therefore she had to fly back to her home country waiting for the attestation of the marriage certificate.

Once it is done, then waiting for family visa to be processed. So get yourself ready for all the process. Good luck for your wedding.

Hello All,

Is it possible for her and her child to visit Qatar and stay at a hotel to see if she likes Qatar before getting married just because you have to so as she can live with her partner. It would simply be a holiday with her and her child.

I am curious myself as my sister wants to visit and she is un-married with a 4 year old boy.

your nationality plays a major role here. coz there r certain citizenships who can get on arrival visas just from the airport on arrival. if u r from one of those countries, u don't have any problem. just buy the tickets, come down here, get the visa from the airport on arrival BUT YOUR CITIZENSHIP......!!!!!

As far as i know you need to show a proof as a marriage certificate when applying as you have to show your proof of relationship.

Boyfriend cant. But as a husband he can apply for visit visa for both of you.

He can't sponsor you.

It is illegal to live with someone you're not married with - you will be subject to arrest and deportation.

Police won't come looking for you but will act on complaints of nosy neighbours.

Marriage? Why not get married where you are and avoid the first 3 problems altogether?
