TOURIST VISA TO FAMILY VISIT VISA

Hi everyone, I am new in this site and in this place. Since my husband will only be qualified to sponsor me by July I am here on tourist visa. How does one convert a tourist visa to family or husband visa? How much does it cost and for how long is the processing of visa conversion? Does one need to exit? Where is the immigration for visa processing located? I hope someone here can give information. Thanks.

We are planning to get a tourist visa for my sister in law, Can somebody tell me if its still possible to transfer her tourist visa to a family visit visa so she can stay here for at least 6 months?

I would like to seek help from all of you out there.Do you know some agency/recruitment company that could help us with our application.I am a pre school/primary teacher with 6 yrs of teaching exp.and currently working in Department of Edcation Philippines,and my husband is a safety officer who used to work there in Qatar in his first employment and now in Saudi arabia.He comes for vaction and goes back abroad,w/c kind of situation that makes me sad and realize that this not what I wanted for my family and think of going abroad too with him of course and bring us along our child.If ever one of us got hired would it be possible that my hubby could take us with him or I could take them both with me?If a single employment visa id offered could I avail for visa for my daughter and husband?Anyway my hubby has NOC.Help.Im quite confuse I just can't leave Philipiines leaving my daughter behind if I got hired.Thanks.

Hi to everyone! I would like to ask if how many months would it take to renew your Family Visit Visa again.

I left the country last July 16, 2009 and my husband would like to get me another visa of the same status. My husband already have the requirements needed for the application but the immigration people said it would take 3 months before I enter to the country again. Is this true?

Please...hope anyone can answer me. Thank you so much in advance.

I think you need to exit the country, to my knowledge.

no need to exit...

Did you succeed in getting the tourist visa converted to family visit visa???... what all things you need to do on that! I have my wife here in tourist visa...and I am brand new to Qatar. I have only one salary trasnfer done till now and now if they reject the RP application I'll be in trouble. One more thing is I dont know whether the Marriage certificate has to be attested by the relevant foreign affairs ministry of the country or copy attested by the embassy will do (I am from India). could you please throw some light on this

They don't have to exit, providing it is done before the current visit visa runs out, Check with your company's P.R.O they should be the one doing it for you. You can't just sponsor them yourself even though you have an RP you still need your company to grant you permission first and depending what type of sponsorship you have will depend on whether you are eligible or not.

Thank you for that information coelacanth.. but one thing I want to know more is that, what if I already have my RP can I convert it into a family visa without exiting?

I have read from migs 1296 commnent that he was able to change his wife tourist visa into a family visit visa within a month.

Anyway, I will go to the immigration tomorrow. Thanks for the help anyway.

The only way for you to transfer them to family visit is by exiting the country, and coming back using the Family Visit Visa. there is no such transfer, but you can transfer it into "husband or Father" sponsorship. Visit visa, they need to exit, have their existing visit visa be cancelled, and enter with the new one. this way, they have maximum stay of 6 months.
