**New Law/RP Renewal**

Bilabong
By Bilabong

I have been told my multiple individuals who have recently had their wives' RPs renewed that approval from the Labor Department is necessary if the previosuly held RP was for two years or more. Gone are the days when you could just go to the Immigration Department and get it done in a couple of minutes. CAN ANYONE CONFIRM THIS PLEASE?????

we had recently renewed our RP. What I understand about family visa is when your 1st entry in Qatar, they will grant you a 5-year visa validity. From the first time you applied for your sponsorship for your wife & children, the documents you submitted to the Dept. of Labor (because your the sponsor of your family), it it will be requested from you after the 5-yr visa lapsed. If you belong to the same company (the same sponsor/employer since arrival in Qatar), they (labor) will only ask a letter from your company stating you're presently working there, your ID, your Kahramaa bill (to know your current address), passport copy of of your wife & children. It's a sort of updating your data in their system. However, if you changed employer/sponsor within the 5-yr term, they may request additional requirements from you such as bank statements, marriage contracts,birth certs, house rental contracts & others.

Well the application form clearly mentions it has to be attested in your home country as well as the MOFA qatar.

Again it all depends how good your mandoop's contacts are..he maybe able to bypass all these requirements..

FYI 2 yrs back, for my wife visa just had to give my wife's passport copy and marriage certificate..and in a week's time, i got her visa..

does the marriage certificate need to be attested/authenticated by the Minstry of Foreign Affairs Qatar or the home country Embassy here in Doha?

I am facing the same situation for my wife's RP renewal. For labour approval, u need the following:

1. Letter from company

2. 6 months bank statement

3. Educational certificates ( sometimes they need it attested)

4. Marriage certificate.

I have filled the application form and submitted the form to my mandoop. Will know more when he returns from labour dept

Well if ur friend is a male den no issues in it but if he has sponsored his wife n kids then he has to get an approval from the labour department.Regarding ur Question that one can travel or no then the answer is NO coz if he doesnt has a RP then how can he come back to Doha?but if he plans to leave the country i guess then there shouldnt b any issue!
