opening a bank acct
I have recently come to qatar on a work visa. My sponsors will not start a salary acct for me in any bank. i need to open an acct after which they will deposit my salary to the same. Can anyone tell me the procedure to start an acct and the necessary documents i may need to start an acct??? appreciate straight answers...
I just opened a bank account to CBQ. The requirements needed are: salary certificate from your company, RP ID copy, Passport Copy, and if you have an existing account with another bank, you need a clearance from that bank. Hope this helped....
Thanx a lot for all ur answers.. they help..
A few years ago I was on visit visa, and I was able to open up a savings account. The bank just asked for my passport and took copy of my visa stamp page. I got an ATM card but no cheque book. This was with Doha bank. Try smaller less busy branches and speak to a customer services person and discuss your options with them. However, this was a few years back,.. they might have changed those rules. Try a few banks and ask if they can open you a savings account. Good luck !
You need a letter from your sponsor - they should be telling you this!!!
your sponsor will need to write a letter to the bank, listing the usuals, plus the amount of your salary. Then you take this letter to the bank, along with your residence permit, fill out the forms and you should get an account.
