Family Visa

By friendi

Dear All,

I am an Indian, got an employment opportunity to work with a local Qatari company as a Senior Manager with the Basic Salary of QR.13,000 + Furnished Family Accommdation (worth of QR.5,000) + Company Car + Family Medical + Tickets for self.

I am moving in mid of July to Doha, Qatar to take this new assignment.

After getting my RP, to apply for Family Visa do I need to wait for 3 months for producing bank statements ? (or) Can I get family visa immediately after my RP ?
Please advise. Because we don’t have any realitives in India and my wife with a small baby can’t stay such a long time alone with out me. I must bring her to Qatar to join with me as early as possible.

I request you please advise what are the possible ways to get family visa as quickly as possible after getting my RP in Qatar.

Looking forward to your valuable advises / suggestions. Thank you.

Welcome to Qatar. For applying family visa, no need to wait for 3 month bank statement. U can apply after getting your RP., But bank has has to give one letter stating that you are holding a salary transfer account with the bank. I did the same and i got the family RP within one week from My RP issuance, without waiting for 3 month bank statement. These are all depends on the dealings with your company and bank. If company insisits, bank issues such letter. If it do not work out, you can apply for visit visa.

Hi, Mabrook and welcome to Doha, Qatar.

I'm new to Qatar, just three months completed and working with a govt. firm. I could bring my family soon after my RP (less than a month) and had no need for bank statement etc.(only passport copies, photographs, and marriage certificate for wife & birth certificate for children).

I don't know if it is diffrent procedure for private companies and Govt.

Wish you good luck and success

you can apply a visit visa for them, it can be extended until you can apply RP for both of them
