By Yaksbunt

My son just finished college and would like to come to Doha for 6 months and try and get some work experience.
Can we sponsor him? We are Uk citizens and Our income is sufficient. Can we do this and where do I go to get the form.
I look forward to your feedback.

yes you can apply for a visit visa. but if u want him to work here regardless the field of work he would need a work visa.

and if you applying for a family visa. the dept is strict on issuing to childs male above 23 and female above 25.

you might be lucky sometime..

but first time I heard about a 3-month outright. All I heard based on our mandoob is 1 month with provision for extension! Lucky you!

ok i take back what i said you are not looking for a RP for your son you are only looking for a six months family visit.....you can get the six months and you can get a nother two so is that the total of eight months ...when you go to the immigration office outside you can ask the typers for the form to be typed for you it would cost you three qr and you take it inside door four and they will take your paper and ask you back in one to two weeks.what is you going to need are a NOC paper from your sponcer a letter for a salary and a copy of your passport

17 and came back for a second visit when he turned 19. But again, it all depends on the approving party. There is no harm in accomplishing an application and submitting it. You only pay when it is approved. If it is rejected, you won't pay anything!

your cousin get a "3-month visa" or "3-month" validity to enter Qatar? Do you understand the difference?

for family visit visa. You are the one confused. She was asking for her son (son is part of family), so if you can not contribute something positive, just keep quiet!

As far as I was aware you can't sponsor males over a certain age on a family visa. I believed the age was 18, but you could get special permission up to the age of 21.

Explain the situation to immigration - maybe they can give you an alternative way to get him here. Possibly an extended visit visa.

will good luck, unless they change the law without me knowing anything about it...you can't sponser a son for six months family visa if he is over the age of 20...you can have him on a visit visa. goodluck

for the form or go to immigration in Gharaffa and there are people there who will type/prepare document for a very small fee. Initially they will give you a family visit visa good for one month and if you really want to extend for another five months, then he has to go for medial clearance within seven days upon arrival.

But still, approval of extension still depends upon the mood of the people in the immigration at the time of application! Good luck!

Yes you can sponsor your son. the visa will be for 1or2 months initially and further extendable or u may get a straight 6 month visa .u need to go to the labour court for the form,best would be to contact ur company public officer aka mandoop.

I m afraid he cannot work on a visit visa
