By onlyahmed14 •
Hi
Iam from India(Bangalore) my RP is still under process, my medical date is on 12 Dec, am planning to bring my wife on a Tourist Visa(through Travel agent) in the mean while i may get her RP please advice whether Tourist Visa can be Transfer to RP or she has to Exit and reentry agin please help
when your company says they will give you a family visa, it simply means they will give you an NOC for the family visa (which is also one of the documents needed).
Only Q companies apply for their employees' family visas and that too only when they complete a probationary period of 6 months.
Without all the required documents (house agreement, w&e bill, bank statement, noc etc), the labour department would not even accept your application.
i can try to make fast your RP and Family rp if your company providing me all documents, even your medical will be very fast
Oh it could also mean they PAY for the family visa, mostly the cost of getting your family here is taken by the person applying for his visa, but some Govt. or private companies may also pay for the fees of issuing or renewing family visas. Again check proper details with your company.
Your company cannot provide you with a family visa...not unless i know the rules are changed but you have to apply for a family visa YOURSELF. Double check with them first, they could mean you are eligible for family accommodation, allowance, ticket etc but as far as I know companies dont issue visa for family...the Immigration does and for that you need the above mentioned documents.
I could be wrong perhaps someone else might know better.
Thank You for your reply
I wont be able to call her on Visit Visa as i still dont have my RP, i may get my RP in end of Dec and my Company is providing me a Family Visa so i dont think i need all the documents.i need to to know is it possible to transfer a toursit visa to residence permit
You might not be able to get her the RP coz you will first need your Qatari ID issued to you and you will need to have the following:
1. House contract/Water&Electricity Bill in your name (this is exempted if you are provided with accommodation from company and mentioned in the Letter from your company)
2. A 6 months bank statement showing your salary in the bank.
From what you've mentioned you've not even got your own RP yet..plus you have to finish your probation period as well.
My advice is get her here on a visit visa not tourist visa, a visit visa can be extended upto 6 months at the end of that term you can transfer her to RP. Good Luck.
