Visit VISA for wife

Seban
By Seban

Hi,

I am here in Doha for last 4 weeks. I got my Residence Permit stamped.

I have the following queries regarding visit VISA for my wife.

1. What formalities to follow while applying for a visit VISA for her? What all documents are required?
2. Can it be applied for a longer duration of stay (say 1 year)?
3. Once the visit VISA is issued, how fast she has to arrive here (period of validity for entry)?

Thanks in advance
Seban

You don't have to be a Qatari to sponcer your wife. You need your R/P, 3 months bank statements and your PRO will do the rest. You will get the R/P within 5 days if your PRO has the right connections. Another option is to bring her on your co. businees visa and convert that to R/P. Done both (I don't have 2 wives)

Hi,

The link provided is mentioning

"You can obtain a visitor visa either via a Qatari sponsor or by submitting your documents to the embassy or consulate in your home country. Single journey stays can be up to three months, but stays of over 30 days require a medical."

"Qatari sponsor" means only Qatari Nationals or I can also apply since I have the RP?

Charan,

Do you mean, I have to apply for a Family VISA for my wife and get her an RP once she is here?

I am told that, I need to submit bank statements for six months from local bank, is it required? If so it is not possible for me, I have come here only 4 weeks back and yet to start a bank account.

I can not answer all questions, but,

initially visit visa is for 1 month, but can be extended. However not upto year.Some visit visa valid for 6months.

the period will be mentioned in her visa copy, she has to enter during that time period.
