renew visa for americans
hello i have an american passport.. my tourist visa expires in about a week and want to know where do i have to go to extend one more month or where can i call to get some info on this... also is it possible to extended for 2 more months?? my husband got residency here in qatar from his work.. thanks
ok thanx soo much.. do ya know how much time in advance do i need to go in to renew the visa??
It will probably extend 1 more month as elxxxv has said. If you want to continue staying you can do what is called a "visa run". Just get a same day return ticket (the cheapest is usually Bahrain) and just go and come back on the next available flight. You automatically get 1 month visa on arrival back in Qatar.
Or if your husband has already got his residence permit, just ask him to apply for family visit visa, which is for 1 month extendable upto 5 more months. Once it comes through, you might be able to transfer your tourist visa to that without leaving the country. He should check with his company PRO for this.
the thing is that im only stayin here till august and after that im going back home to the USA..
look for sponser,it better
Yea exactly, get ur husband to be your sponsor, coz basically tourist visas are not extendable be it American or Bangladeshi... and there is hefty fine for overstaying per day
Since your hubby has a residence visa, why not have him sponsor you so that you can stay here forever
go to the immigration office next to the airport (departure terminal). you should be able to extend for another month there. after that, most likely you have to leave Qatar to get a new tourist visa.
