I am an American coming to live and work in Qatar this month. I want to bring my wife to live with me but am unsure of the process to obtain a visa for her.
Would someone please tell me what we need to do or tell me where to look on the internet to find the correct information.

Just to inform everyone, my company does not allow me to have my wife with me and I will be responsible for all costs of having her with me.

Why would you take a job that doesn't allow family? Sounds like a job that will take advantage of you. Do you realize you cannot leave this country or your job without the permission of your boss? It's always less complicated for them to do that if you don't have a family here... I would not take this job if I were you.

Better read the peninsula or gulf times to learn about how workers are mistreated with respect to exit permits. Not all companies are bad and the government is trying to stop this practice but as always there are a few copmpanies who keep trying to practice outside of the law...

After you get the NOC, then u can proceed with these (but if your sponsor refused to give an NOC, forget about it):

1. Marriage Cert in Arabic (better you also have with you the original copy and English), so next next time if they ask you u have the documents ready bcoz laws are changing here in daily basis. Get of these (Arabic & English) attested in your Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Qatar Embassy in your country.

2. Copies of your passport and also your wife's passport.

3. Copy of your visa.

4. Copy of your Qatar ID.

5. 2 passport size photos of your wife.

6. I not sure about minimum salary requirement, some say QR4500 and the others say QR7000, u have to check with your sponsor.

7. 6 months bank statement.

8. Then, submit all of these docs to your sponsor and wait.

Hi.There is no restrictions on Ukrainian nationality esp.for a married woman.For the visit visa just go to the airoport,there is office ,not sure about

no- objection letter from sponsor and salary sertificate.

She will need a residence visa to live here.(its not an expensive staff but you need some paper work from your company to be done).

Im from Ukraine and sponsor for my family.

Good luck...
