Not able to apply business visa
Hi.. I had brought my distant relative in on arrival visa on november 4th..since we entered before november 11th,i got it extended for one more month and visa was valid till january 4th...i am working and i have a son who is 4 months old..so i wanted to bring her back somehow..she is a lady 55 years..one travels told they will get us business visa for 3 months..so she exited on 29th and yesterday when they are trying to apply for business visa,they are getting a system error as "The application is received for the same sponsor before'. Now the company PRO is telling that there is some previous visa application for this lady and this has to be cancelled...we never applied for a visa and now we have to cancel a visa application which is not there..we are totally stuck...please advise what can be done ...since applying through an agency,we cant go directly and check and even the agency is not able to do much.
Try from another travels and tell them the issue. Also, in mean time you can reach out to cleaning companies they usually have Indian or nepali ladies who can babysit. But, 4 month old baby is too small to stay with strangers. Find day cares may be they are professionals and will know how to take proper care for your baby.
@morane...thank you so much..actually this travels told me 1 week time and i had asked for 1 week work from home and asked a helper to come from 7 to 5..but next week i have to go to office....have asked this helper to come for some days but she already has some commitments..didnt find a back up plan as i was pretty confident about the visa...
Gauri,
About applying from different agency - only reason is to see if we can apply and what really is the issue. Is it the sponsor issue or something else. May be the other agency would know more or better and will guide you correctly.
At the MOI service center you do not have to specify Business visa. But, you can tell them that you need this person in Qatar to take care of your baby for few months until you find proper replacement hence you were trying to get visa for this relative and your agency is getting this error. Ask them what can be done and what is the best way to rectify this issue.
But, like you said, wait until 4th January and try from other agency as well. See where it goes. I really hope that you get visa. If you are facing issues, then get part time maid who can take care of your baby until this issue is resolved.
Hope for the best.
@morane : Thanks for your valuable time in replying ....
below are my concerns
1)Error says application received from the SAME SPONSER..i wonder how this sponsor is related to on arrival visa...will try applying after 4th January anyways
2) Will they be able to apply if there is already one application from one sponsor
3)Since this is business visa which we are applying through an agency,we are scared to enquire directly as this may create some doubts in them..
More over not many people have committed me for a business visa as it is tough to get for an Indian lady of age 55...hoping for the best...
Hi Gauri,
There are 3 things you can do:
1. Your relatives visa was extended until 4th January. May be that date is still active in the MOI systems. May be you have to wait until 4th January and then apply the visa again.
2. Apply through some other agency for visa
3. Walk in the MOI service center along with the copy of the exit visa stamp on your relatives passport and tell the captain that you are facing issues. They will help you.
