You seem as if you are very informed in the process of rp applications. Please could you possibly answer a query i have. I got my rp 4 weeks ago and have applied through my company for my wifes family visa for the purpose of rp. She is already here on a tourist visa which we have extended and is expiring in 2 weeks. However i assume her famly visa will likely be accepted and therefore she wont have to leave the country and simply get the visa changed to a family visa in her passport.
However, we have flights booked for a vacation in mid december and my company have informed me that they wont have her rp process completed by then and have asked me to do it myself as it would ne much quicker as they batch process all employee applications.
My idea was for my wife to leave the country when her tourist visa expires and do a day return to dubai. However upon her arrival back into Doha, would she be allowed to gain another tourist visa? Or will immigration stamp her newly accepted family visa in her passport?
If she gets her family visa accepted within the few days does she have to use it immediately in her passport or can she use that visa when she arrives back to qatar in january? and continue to use a tourist visa to remain in the country?
If we change her visa now and then we leave for vacation in december when she arrives back in january, will her family visa have expired as she left the country? or is it multiple exit and entry within the duration of the visa period?
As in january she would have much more time to gain her Rp as we wont be leaving the country any time soon.
Apologies for the long winded messsage but your help would be crucial in helping us make a decision.
