Query on Business Visa extension- URGENT Please Help
By hemalimody •
Friends,
again need your urgent help. I came here on business visa valid for 1 month. My visa is getting expired on 11th Oct, 08. Client has given my visa for extension but they are saying that it will take 3 days to get it done.
I m confused becz if my visa will not get extended then i have to fly on 11th and in this case i dont know when i will get my passport.
Can anyone update me how many days immegration team takes for such kind of visa extension? your suggestions are require on the same.
Note: Client has applied for visa extension on 6th Oct, 08.

Hemali
Normally it should take 2 or 3 days,
The process is : 1st day you will have to submit application for extension, they will give you a yellow colour slip to come back and check next day or after 1 day,
you can know is your extension application is approved at that time on the second check only, if it is approved then collect that application with approval signature from that counter and take it with original passport to the visa extension counter, pay fees, and get the extension stamped (sticker) in passport.
The extension counters do not work on weekends and on weekdays only during the morning shift.
Immigration and visa processing is closed during fridays and saturdays. I'm not quite sure if they are halfday on Thursday. Check with your client when you will have your visa because you might have problems. When I had business visa before we do not wait till the expiration day of the visa, we exit a few days before to avoid problems. Hope you manage to get your visa soon.
Friends,
thanks for your answer....again a query that Qatar immegration team works on weekend?
Please respond ASAP.

Ideally it should not take more than a day to do this.The client will require your passport to get this done.So be assured it will be done on time as promised by them.
If your client takes proper route then it should not take more than one/two day..
