Quick question: Can a lady who is under her fathers sponsorship get a liquor license? She is working and meets the salary requirements and not muslim, any clues anyone? If yes what are the procedures? same as men? if NO then have a good day visit again ;) lol

CB - It's not strictly true that only one person in a family can get a license. My wife has a license with an allowance based on the amount she earns. She then signed a form to allow me to get a license. However, I don't get a separate allowance - we share hers.

Everbdy can get a liqor permit evn muslims too...coz i had seen some muslims holding liqor permit...the only thing your require is a NOC statin your salary and entitlement from your employer/sponsorer....and accorrding to your entitlement the ministry will decided how much quota weekly is permitted to you...i.e if your entitlement shows that your accomodation is provided by company u'll be permitted for bigger unit and if you own a car with trnsportation allowance the unit will increase and if your jst state ur salary without acco. and allowance the unit will decrease...

THIS INFORMATION IS WRONG AND IT IS NOT A NOC - IT IS A SALARY CERTIFICATE WHERE THE SALARY AND THE ACCOMMODATION IS STATED SEPERATELY FROM THE PERSONNELL DEPARTMENT AND THEY NEED A VALID QATARI RESIDENCE PERMIT.

THEY NORMALLY DO NOT ISSUE THIS TO MUSLIMS IF THEY DO IT IS THROUGH WASTA IN THE COMPANY WHERE THEY ARE WORKING. THE POINTS YOU RECEIVE ARE CONNECTED TO YOUR SALARY. THERE IN NO MENTION OF OWNING CAR WITH TRANSPORT ALLOWANCE.

THERE IS ALSO A PROCEDURE TO BE FOLLOWED TO GET THE LICENSE. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD READ UP ON THE MANY THREADS WHERE QL PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO INFORM THEMSELVES AND THEN TAKEN THE TIME TO INFORM OTHERS OF THE CORRECT WAY.

MARRIED LADIES FOR EXAMPLE WHO ARE SPONSORED BY THEIR HUSBANDS CANNOT GET THEIR OWN PERMIT. THE SAME AS THE DAUGHTER LIVING WITH HER FAMILY AS ONLY ONE PERSON IN THE FAMILY CAN GET A PERMIT.

POSTING WRONG INFORMATION MISLEADS PEOPLE AND THEY WILL HAVE EXPECTATIONS PLEASE CONSIDER THIS IN FUTURE POSTING..

Telljax, I want to get a license too so that I can quit bugging my dad but thing is I don't want my visa to be transferred under any company just yet. I enjoy going in and out of Qatar and not having to request for letters and permits.

Can I still get a liquor license?

I am also sponsored by my dad and i went to QDC last week to apply. They checked my company letter and salary details. they said that as long as my basic is at least 4000 riyals, i am eligible for a license. The only conditon is that the RP/ ID card should be valid at the time of application.

I got my license instantly and my company plans to change my sponsorship around 1st november( thats when i complete my probation period).

Also your allowance would be equal to 10% of your salary.

hope this helps.

The husband or wife of someone with a license can get a license for themselves. The allowance is shared between the two of them.

According to the License Department, if the girl is living in her father's home - with her family she can't get one. If she has her own appatment even under the sponsorship she would be able to.

Charan - Same goes for your wife as I think she is still living in you home, but perhaps you can ask one of the many lady followers. lol lol.

Women can get them but I do not know if they must have their residency permit first.

They just need to go to the proper agency. I believe the fee is $1,000 QR.
