i will miss Doha!
My husband brought me and my 2 yr old son almost 6 mos ago through Family visit visa. He was supposed to work out our Resident Visa but unfortunately law changed and salary req't became Qr10000. And right now he has about Qr8000. So we didn't have a choice but to stay 6mos maximum (we're leaving next week). After 3 mos i will be coming back (Inshallah) so i can work (visit visa again) and hopefully we can get our son by combined salary.It will really be a big sacrifice leaving my son..but not for long though.
Hopefully things will work out next time and we can be a happy family again.
I will miss Doha though.. 'tis been a home for almost 6 mos.
and it nearly tore our family apart, but AlHamdulillah by much prayers and great effort from my hubby, things worked out and we never had to go back. It wasn't easy but like I said worth all the struggle. Just keep the faith and don't give up regardless of what some people may have to say.
No, not from the Netherlands if on a family visit visa. EU citizens can get a renewable tourist visa.

you can NOT work while you are on the family visit visa!
In order to work legally you need a Work permit. And Work permit cannot be granted for the family visit visa holders.
thanks fathimah. did this happen to u too? im positive everything will be ok.
so true LP...have seen many family who are suffering with this suprise rule...
I really feel ya..I do. Hope and pray everything works out well and fast for your family as it did with ours. It was kind of a tough battle but did work in the end. Hang in there and do what it takes and things should indeed soon fall into place,Insha Allah.
you only have one. Can you see it? Qatar tearing families apart? Are you?
No, flor. If you don't see it, I can't help you.
I guess, combined salary wont work for a Family Visa status. the Main Sponsor should earn 10+ .
Iam just not able to digest....a family from Netherlands & getting paid 8k / month?! Not common !
can you elaborate?
Don't you want the rents to come down & less traffic ?
lol LincolnPirate! so true....
Qatar is known for tearing families apart!
who knows by 3 mos my husband can apply us already with Resident Visa after salary increase so we dont have to go through visit visa.
why trouble? im following the rules.
that's not the right way and could land you in trouble with the authorities.
Be careful!!
