Visa for my Parents above 65 yrs

hi can i get my parents ..nationals of india to qatar and get RP for them through Wasta ..there ages are 57 and 67 respectively ..pls reply

My son used to go for baby sitting since he was one & a half month old. We took help of our family friend & paid in cash or kind for few months. Then we hired a live-in maid from our Qatari neighbour. My father visited us when he was 77 years through our sponsor's vasta.

Like-wise I think you can get through various opportunities. My son is now all set to go to US for higher studies.

Agree with Xena. I applaud the family values (keeping the grandparents involved in the child's life) rather than having the kid raised by a nanny as we all see every day.

and accuses Judi of being a bad mother (because she works) and a bad daughter (cause her parents will come take care of the baby)

Stop being so damn judgmental people... Not everyone has the luxurious lifestyle you Doha Dollies have... some of us have to actually work here to survive....

Get off your high horses....

By having a Qatar Nationality your should be home free to bring your parents in to Doha

crazysignal, i definitely know how it is like to have kids. thats why a waman have to be PREPARED financially, emotionally, mentally, and all the lly's we can think about before having them. if she wants to share the `happiness` to her parents, and if she genuinely think that way, she would not HAVE written that she needs them to "leave her kid" with. i believe you express what you think when youre writing unconsciously, and evidently, the need for the parents to come over is for them to look after the kid, not to enjoy here.

i rest my case. give the `old` parents a break. ffs.

judi: i do not live a good life, but i am careful with how i `lead` my life. the basic idea is, give your parents a break. thats all. good luck.

-end-

judi, even i used to work till my baby got born..I didn't want to miss out her growing days so i'd left the job to take care of her..I'd call my MOM for few months to be with us so that she could let me know how to take care of a small baby..

Some people really do not understand your problem if life was so easy and if I wanted to spend time with my little one I would rather do it in my own country

besides the maternity leave u get in this country is 50 days I some how have pulled my leave without pay until she is 3 months

I am a mother and would put a stone on my heart to leave the little angel and go to work that is one reason I am so careful of my step

there are few people who have a luxurious life where the enjoying sitting at home and accusing other without even thinking the sensitivity of the issue

My parents are alone back home and are dying to live with us I had to come to Doha to earn the xtra money which I use to help them as well

No child would be so cruel to use their parents as a Nanny or a back up baby sitter

I wanted them around as they can spend time with us and enjoy some days as I can understand how lonely they are besides my child is in safe hands but i guess some people will not understand as they have their beter half working and they sitting at home enjoying life and their childs childhood hence accuse others

Thank you HMs78600 I will do as u advise and thank you for understanding

can you advise once the captain has approved, I pay the fees right.This visa is valid for how many months ?

my parents want to spend Christmas with us if possible hence looking for a 6 mths visa I do not mind the cost

Please advise

Follow what hms786002 said... thats exactly right way. Yesterday one of my friend got for their parents who are more that 74 years.The General in the first floor asked them are they healthy and he approved that time itself. Very Good officer. My suggestion dont give to any agency or anybody try yourself.

ALL THE BEST

They can enter on a 6-month family visit visa! What they do need is health insurance before travelling.

contrary to what you may think, I do understand how it is to have children.. I have one myself, and have been with her through the early stages of her childhood up to now...

Judi, I believe they have certain limitations here in bringing parents with regards to age so you should verify with the concerned authority..

@ Judi...what HMS 7860032 is correct..thats the best course of action....

@ others like bestman,guitargirl n mjamille28 who dont understand what it is to have children,judis real problem, n joy the grandparents have in being together in doha n playing with grandchildren, i would say politely to keep quite...what she is trying to do is not dump her children on them but to share joy of her child n to look after them better while in DOHA....do jabber unnecessarily accusing people...

Ohhh precious parents..how long you will endure endless responsibilities in this cruel WORLD?

If u want baby sitter i have friend she is baby sitter you can contact me so that i can refer you to her tnx.. here's my no. 6080836

brother --- he is right

your parents are in their 60's, they should just be relaxing and enjoying the rest of their years.. besides, your baby is only 3 months old, you shouldn't miss out on the joys of taking care of your child...

and again, stop dumping your responsibility to your parents. you just said it: "The day care in Doha do not want to baby sit a 3 mnths baby besides some of them have so many children as they mostly are not reliable..

It is better and safer to have my baby left home with my parents Please help"

Even tho youre gonna hire a nanny, if your parents will be with you in one roof, they'd still feel obligated to look after your kid without you. And wait, they're OVER 65??? Why dont you fetch your other half to work here instead and look after your kid?? Bring your parents here for a holiday, not as back up nannies. wtf

Think again.

Dear... if you have WASTA...then you can bring your parents to Doha, No matter how old are they...good luck

Follow the procedure.

Go to the Gharrafa immigration centre, with forms completed, passport copy, your RP, your husbands RP copy and submit it to them, they will say, you have to take special permission from general,

General sits on the first floor of the building no. 1 ( you can ask anyone) go and submit the forms there, they may ask you to comeback tomorrow morning,

So go next day morning, if it is already signed they will give u the signed documents, otehrwise they will ask you to meet the officer go and meet the officer and explain your problems and requirement of your parents here in Doha, he is good he will signs the documents (90% chances he will sign) and then go back submit the forms in immigration counter and within couple of days your visa will be ready.

This is the procedure many of the follows - Good luck.

check with some agencies who can bring your parents on tourist or business visa. They will charge you for the fees. I don't know the details of the agency and their location but i know from few people have done it.

If any one can share information ..please do so..

I truly agree and understand what u are saying I am not using my parents

My parents live alone back home and are lonely most important of all they want to spend time with us and their granchild in this way I get to take care of them and they of my child

besides I will not be using them as they are my parents and I respect them for what they are

babysitter ----

u should take care of your parent ---- not parents will tak care of your child ---- dear try to respect parents they alredy take care of you when u was child --- now in this (65)age u should take care of them
