Hi, Thanks all to write for sharing feeling in different situation of Family Visa. My case is little bit different, my family in Qatar by visit visa almost 7 month. during this time i had applied for RP and then result is rejected, Then held meeting with captain after one week also same result as Rejected'i applied in 10th June2012.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT REASON INSIDE'

My Salary is 12000/ & Company Provided Accommodation Each month rent is 5000/- Rent Agreement attested my Baladiya office, as per my knowledge my PRO prepare all document very carefully & completely. after all processing result is Rejected. I don't know what i can do, please make it easy...

Thanks

do they require minimum salary for family visit visa or just for the family residence? im confused.

yes , both the certificates has to be attested. Attestation has to be done even for visit visa as well. I heard from my husband that they require transaction of salary every month. i am not sure about this .

Thank you Lava_abhi for your information. I wonder if the immigration would accept my bank statement. Yet it has more than 10,000QR for a long time, but not from the sponsored company. Any idea on this?

Also, do you know that your marriage and your kid's birth certificates required attestation?

Thanks so much.

My husband is currently on the process of Rp for me n my kid. Its required to show salary transfer of 10000QR from the company for 6 months.

Hi. Can anyone indicate the 6 months bank statement required certain minimum balance? I have to re-apply for family RP (expired a few years ago). I never closed out the bank account. So would it be acceptable even it doesn't have any monthly activity?

I had the same experience with Visit Visa . I waited for 2 weeks , but luckily got through. I have to apply for my RP , under my husbands Sponsership.My husband was send back 4 times saying that he require different documents. Thanks for the posts related to the required documents.Hope it works this week. Please pray for us...

First get them here inside by family visit visa.

then convert to RP. its quiet easy 4u, since they were here before.

But confirm with immigration also.

Dear sir,

QR- 7000 + Company Accomodation is also an option but again, it depends on the mode or the evaluator.

Minimum salary for family visa raised to QR10,000

Publish Date: Sunday,8 January, 2012, at 12:14 PM Doha Time

The Passports and Expatriates Division of the Ministry of Interior has announced that expatriates who wish to apply for family visa should henceforth have a minimum salary of QR10,000 per month, a local Arabic daily reported yesterday.

Applications for family visas will from now on be scrutinised by a committee constituted in the ministry on the directive of the Cabinet. Earlier it was handled by the standing committee for recruitments in the Ministry of Labour.

The minimum salary requirement was earlier QR7,000. It was later increased to QR8,000 and now it has been further increased to QR10,000.

The committee will apply rigid procedures to check the veracity of each application, the daily has added.

I have Dubai attestation. But I don’t have Qatar Consulate (India) attestation in my certificate. Is it necessary for Indian Embassy attestation (Qatar)?...For answers Visit below link..

Dear Friends,

Recently I went to the Immigration dept. near Madinat Khalifa, I get to know the following conditions, most of them are listed above the important one which is bottleneck in my case is 6 months Local bank statement on letterhead of bank signed my bank manager.

I am writing all again for ease.

1. Legalized marriage/Birth certificate from Ministry of foreign affairs and Qatar embassy of country of issue

These document should legalized here in Qatar also with MOFA.

2. Copy of Registered labor contract

3. NOC from sponsor

4. Salary certificate from the employer, it should be more than QR 10K, salary certificate and Labor contract should state the same salary, there should not be any difference.

5. Minimum 6 months of Local (Qatar)Bank statement stating your salary each month.

6. Electricity bill dated within Month or Lease agreement on the sponsor's name.

Point no 5 is something which delays the family arrival by atleast 7 moths, which is really not good.

Assalamualaikum

Alhamdolillah I got offer in Feb from Hamad Medical Corporation with family status + accommodation provided by HMC.

I want to know what documents require(For HMC Employee) to apply for family visa so before coming to Qatar I can get ready with those paper so once I came and got residency then I can apply for Family permanent Visa .

1. ATTESTED Education Certificate : Is it mandatory?

2. Marriage Certificate (ATTESTED) : Is it mandatory as My passport has my wifes entry and My wife passport had My name?

3. Child(s) Birth Certificate(s) (ATTESTED) : As my child passport has my name as Father so does it require or Passport is sufficiant?

Does document is base on Organization going to join(as HMC is government org) or standard to all.

Wa Salam

I went there last year and exit last Jan 2, 2012 and my husband applied again for family visit visa last april 3, they accepted all the documents and my husband pay QR200 and told him to wait for 3 days, we checked in their website about the status of my application and it responded " No date entry"...what is the meaning of these? is my application rejected? if so, how long should we wait to apply again?

Now again situation is favorable so have decided to get them in Qatar.After hereing all this I'm bit woried...Is it again will be needed marriage certificate,birth certificated..dully attested! since they were here before what is the procedure to obtain their visa again. my salary 10k pluss so won't be problem,but getting all those documents really has big problem!!!!!!!

Any idea if family undergone required Medical Test for extending Visit VISA on application for Resident Permit they have to undergo again the same test. (When they are continuing to stay during Visit VISA)

Thanks

Sam

tfs!

Thanks Shankie30,

May Almighty Bless Us All...

Congrats Qadoc that's really a Happy New Year for you and your family!

Hope for the approval for my son's visa this year! May Allah Bestow His answers to all our requests!

Finally I got visa for my Wife and Son....

With this experience I would say that ....You have to be very patient...tackle things smartly and offcourse you should have right document as per their requirement.

Once you fulfill all the requirements as mentioned and if you are eligible (minimum 10,000 qrs salary and should be mentioned in the salary certificate provided by your employer - Arebic typed) then I think No body will stop you to get your family....

Also you should be lucky as well... Thanks to almighty...

For those who are still struggling please understand that I dont know answers related to other cases for VISA processing apart from whatever I wriiten above...So please dont expect me to answer as I dont want to answer wrongly for your genuine questions... I would suggest Please visit MOI and Immigration office with a person who can speak and understand Arabic to address your queries. It will be really helpful.

All the very best to one and ALL

Best Wishes - QADOC

hi!... im on business visa, and were planning to transfer my visa to husband visa is it the same procedure?

Hi! After 1 week of waiting after I have submitted all the necessary requirements, my family visa application got rejected. I cant think of any reason for my application being rejected. I have satisfied all the requirements but still. The following day after I checked the result from the MOI website, I went to the Immigration (main), actually no really there to take care of my concern, but still i insisted (the officer in the gate 4 doesnt seem to be helpful at all). I proceeded just near to the front desk, a queue where there was seem to a captain trying to answer a quiet a few applicants. And when it was my time, I asked him why my application got rejected, he just took my my "checking receipt" and checked on the computer and just told me that may application got rejected. And I asked what is the reason, he just aswered, no problem with my application and reapply again after 6 months! whew! So, my question really werent answered. Guys, do have any idea?

Does the minimum requirement of 10k is that a total or just a basic salary? I really want my wife and son to be here early next year.

Salam guys,regardless for family visa the allowed minimum salary 10,000 qatar riyal it is finally confirm...???

Salam guys,regardless for family vesa the allowed minimum salary 10,000 qatar riyal it is finally confirm...???

nicely put.

helpful for anyone who would be looking to bring in their spouse or kids

TFS.

However, I read in some newspapers about the hike of minimum salary for applying family visa to 10k.

Very nice, thanks for Sharing.

Nicely put Qadoc, I hope this becomes a sticky somewhere here on QL so we dont have numerous questions on the same topic.

For those that was worried about the rumors about the salary being 10k or 8k, just take it as 10k and above to be safe. Other than that if it still gets rejected coz of designation on visa you can request to meet the captain and explain your case.

Did anybody get family visa from MOI ?? pls share..

Guys!

All the Best to Every one.

The process has become much tougher now. Whatever I have written in my post is what i have experienced during the process of my Family Visit Visa and I am still waiting after 1 week of submitting of the application to get the visa processed.

Hope it happens smoothly... Insha Allah

All The Best For Everyone!

Qadoc

This is the new process and everyone needs to plan properly.

Thanks for sharing this invaluable information.

thanks for the info :)

Thanks QL Friends. i am also facing same problem. before i heard salary 7.5k, NOw i heard minimum salary 8k, utmost lastest news minimum salary 10k, which one correct & we are depend on it. what is the best policy to bring family here?

please,

If there is new rule implemented it should be clearly published other wise roumers will happen (10K ,8K,like). No any update regarding family visa in Hukoomi website also. Some of the application are rejected only because of designation of the sponsor, Is it is enough if a person having good designation can affored famliy expenses here? This makes the people go for getting family visa threw back doors.

thanks for sharing.

All the people including me thought that it would be easy and hassle free when the system shifted from Mol to Immigration to bring a family in Qatar but it is the opposite. It has become more terrible and worse than before. Atleast in labor somehow they were giving meeting when its rejected. But here the case is different. They are saying to come after one month to get the meeting date when application is rejected and they don't have any etiquettes to speak with people. I don't know what will happen. They should first understand that no one will bring his family here in qatar if he cannot afford for the expenses here. Only those people apply who can bear the expenses of their family.

hi goodmorning ,

thnks for your news that made me this morning so happy.i have question that my wife is here as visit under my sponsorship so how can i change it to a family ?is there any new rules or this news usefull it?plz suggest me,
