Hi,  I am a single father of  2 y.o. girl. I am not married. I got a job contract in Doha and plan to move there soon. Can I bring our nanny to Qatar from our homeland? How can I arrange a visa for her?

Never the less semey, it is those who circumvent that are making things difficult for those who don't. That is the bottom line.

I guess the restrictions caused by women who wishes to make some "special" services for bachelors flooded Doha. It makes my life difficult who wants just to reside together with his daughter.

I was just kidding about forgery )

Can any other type of visa be arranged for our nanny? When I was staying in the que at the border control I saw a lot of women staying with me from Far EAst country. How did they get visa?

Can someone else sponsor her? We can pay a lot for that!

Semey, it is because of people like you, who do not want to follow the rules, that the rules are tightened all the time and things get more difficult for those who willingly follow the rules.

Don't forge any documents! What will happen to your girl if you end up in jail?

Family Visas

Workers sponsor their own families. In some circumstances, expatriates need to go ahead of their family and arrange their own resident permits before applying for a family visas. Apply at the department of Labour on C ring road next to the American Hospital and opposite the Avis Garage. You will be given a form to complete with a list of the relevant documents: approval letter from work, bank statement of salary for the last six months (for non-government employees), marriage certificates, children's birth certificates and education certificates (although you don't always need these in practice). The last three should be certified, but in practice you probably don't need to. Photocopies are acceptable. You also need passport photos of yourself, your spouse and your children. Alternatively, you may be able to bring your family on tourist visas. After they have arrived you can convert their visa to a residence permit.

Don’t even chance trying to forge any type of document you must submit to the government here.  They will check and probably ask you to have it certified. If they catch you  your daughter will be without a father too as you would probably sit in detention for a while

If someone else arrange the visa through the agency they will expect her to work exclusively for them and not be full time nanny to someone else. Sorry to be so negative, but that's the way things work out here. I believe you need to choose between your child and your career. Tough call.
