Dear All,

Do I need NOC from hotel for converting tourist visa to family visit visa ? Is it a must or can we do it if we get some approval from immigration ?

One more thing, just 30 days are over for this tourist visa by yesterday 25/11/2012...

Please share your views....

yes, you can do it, but only once your family visit visa is approved....

in my case. she exited and then came back in new visa.

here the visa issues are too confusing. nobody knows the actual procedure. you have to experience everything.

so dont rely on any one. do what you think is best and suitable for you...

They have accepted family visit visa application today afternoon and i got checking receipt...hope it will be approved and ready for printing when the person is already in the country...once it is ready, then I can convert the current tourist visa (expired and under fine now) to family visit visa by paying QR 500 and necessary fine for tourist visa overstay...please share your views....

or do I need to arrange exit tomorrow to avoid confusion and clash between two visas.............pls help with your views.....

thanks a lot for your replies.

today I got a signature in my family visit application from captain through my PRO. He told me I have to go in person and submit this application at Garafa immigration visa section.

Now I hope they will accept this application and documents without NOC from hotel (visa already expired and under fine now) and I can convert this tourist visa to family visit visa by paying 500 QR....

trust I am not confusing....
