To all my fellow Filipinos please advice. . I just asked my wife, she said it will take time for us to get a NSO authenticated marriage certificate, we only have the original marriage certificate from our Local civil registrar. . . can we used this to get a visit visa for her? What are our options?

For visit visa, as far as I know is that it its fime to have a stamped marriage certificate from you civil registrar. You will just pass it in the immigration unless it will be for Family Residence visa, a NSO Authenticated one is required.

Try in wakra immigration the captain there was absolutely nice..

Only 1 month maximum, you can get your NSO authenticated certificate. Just go directly to an NSO office near you.

And you may also need the DFA seal (red ribbon seal). That makes it more official.

if you really want a family visa, you don't have a choice but to do it by the book and get an NSO authenticated MC. what's the rush anyway.. It's better to get the authenticated copy anyway because im sure you'll need it for other purposes as well.

If you need a 6 months family visa you need to undergo all those procedures. But if your wife will not stay more than 1 month here in doha you can go to hotel to apply for tourist visa. La Villa Palace Hotel is issuing a 1 month tourist visa for only 500 QR. you can call this no. to inquire 4367301.

hhmm... maybe the person in NSO whom your wife talked to is asking for money ;) *lool.. so he said it will take a long time and with money it will take 1 week ;).

Applying for an NSO authenticated MC only takes 1 week, and if you applied for a visa, will take you another week, plus translation in the Embassy will take you roughly 1 week. So, what's the rush? Ministry of Interior will ask you to get the stamp from the Embassy, and in order for you to get that from our embassy, it needs to be from the NSO. If you're really in a hurry, buy a business visa, or book her in a hotel and get the 1 month tourist visa. If you want the 6 month family visit, you need the proper document.
