Americas, Europe (East and West), The Bulk of Africa, Oceana, Malaysia, China, Thailand, Japan are no no's.

I would imagine Georgian extremely dificult.

go to the immigration (the big one) and bring the necessary requirements such as birth certificate of your children, passport and photo attached with your application. for the parents requirements are passports, QID. i cant remember if they required letter from your employeer.(just prepare it for you the letter) go typing there in moror, after typing proceed to the captain for approval in the mezzanine or 2nd floor ask to the typist if you dont know they will tell you. bring the xerox of each requirements and the original too.

you just try!!! good luck

Not only can she not be Australian, she has to be from one of the nations defined (Phillipines, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Ethiopia). You both have to be working, except in extreme circumstances. You have to be earning over a certain limit which I imagine you meet. You will probably have to employer as a Maid, the categories are fairly thin on the ground. I think they need to be over 25 as well.

You will both need your RP's in place, a letter of No Objection from your sponsor, 6 months bank statements, Qatari Labour contract, possibly housing contract.

the babysitter in mind is not australian. she is however the woman that looked after my son for 2 and a half years while I worked and she's like family for us. I'm just wondering how hard it would be to bring her across to Doha...

I am wondering, why this is? Why do we have to sponsor someone from a different country who does things so differently from ourselves. If we had someone from our own country, we would trust them more, be able to communicate with them, they would know our customs. What is it to the government where our maids/servants/nannys come from???

you cannot sponsor her if she is also australian. You only can have a babysitter/maid of different nationality from yours.
