Bring family with me

SBR
By SBR

My company taken my passport details and are processing my RP now with family status. They haven't asked for any documents of my wife or kids.  One of my friend said that I don't have to apply seperate visa for my family and I can just take them in along with me as long as I have the family status in my RP. Is that right? FYI, I am indian citizen.

Thanks for your help!!!

Qatar Petroleum brings the entire family together into Qatar and then process the Resident Permit for all of them. This is the case for senior staff recruitments. I do not know about other categories.

 

Other private companies normally brings the man first, gets his resident permit stamped and then the wife/family joins him later. If you are lucky, it may happen in 6 monts or there about.

RP= resident permit is stamped once you clear you medical (Xray blood test) then you will do finger prints once these reports are submitted in Immigration you RP will be stamped on passport.

 

You can never bring your family along with you. NO company gives such visa.

 

The entire process takes 2 weeks

I am still in India. What I wanted to know is whether I can bring my family along with me as and when I enter Qatar. What I see from your mail is that I have to process the family visa after I enter Qatar. Is that right

SBR, I assume you are single in qatar now.

 

once your RP approved, you may bring along your family only then RP application start for your family. they won't ask for your family document yet.

  

 you may fwd yor family docs. (passport etc) when applying for family visa.
