Good day,

Ive been working here in Qatar for almost 2 years. Finally my company approved us family visas. Already submitted requirements and waiting for results. I assumed that it was going to be a company sponsored visa since its a big company. Recently I heard that Qatar requires to have at least 10,000 Riyal to qualify for a family visa. Thus this include a company sponsored visa? Is a company assited family visa considered as that they sponsored me? Im only an operator and earning only 7,000 riyal excluding overtime. Kindly help enlighten and help answer my queery.Thanks

Does the profession of the VISA also matter to get family visa apart from the salary?

there is nothing called as a company sponsored visa for a family.

Your company will only help you get a visa for your family under your sponsorship.

And yes, you have heard right about the rules.

Work visas are company sponsored visas. The new criteria for family visa is by the labour dept. My understanding is that your total salary should be 10k, this could include your housing allowance. Please check with your company mandoop for the exact process, requirements and, on how to proceed further.
