I have recently viewed this site and was shocked about the issue regarding the affidavit of sponsorship with red ribbob.
I got my tourist visa recently and planning to travel by first week of Octover but I have put on hold the purchasing of my ticket because of the issue regarding affidavit of sponsorship requirement that the immigration have been searching at the airport. I just got the visa thru an agency in Qatar with the help of my cousin. I honestly do not have any plans of working there, I just wanted to visit but since my cousin is also new to Qatar, she's not capable to provide the affidavit of sponsorship and the agency wouldn't provide one for me either. I just don't want to waste money and effort and end up not travelling..
Would providing some papers to them like certificate of employment and other papers that I have a job here in the Philippines and I have no intentions of working in Qatar would help? Or do you think It won't help at all.
It's just been really difficult since the requirements needed change from time to time and Qatar embassy nor the immigration can't provide the lists of requirements needed to make it easier for us. It's also unfair that there are so many shams in the immigration that make it hard especially for people like us who would just like to travel and visit friends and relatives.
Please do advise as to what should be done.
Thanks a lot.
