---hey! How are you all! I have all the abov docs except the educ certificate. What I have with me now is just a photocopy, but Phil Embassy in Doha won't certify if it's not authenticated from my country,.. but having read the above comments, means I have a chance of getting my application for my kids approved?

Hi

If we have to show 6 months bank statement, does that mean we have to be working there for at least 6 months? So that means we can do the application after spending at least 6 months in qatar without family. Is tat rite?

In an offer I received, they say "Family status after 1 year" what does it mean?

Salary of QR7500 means Basic or total salary?

Thanks in advance

regards

To answer your question of "what would your wife do?"

(I assume this one applies once you were able to get her a family visa)....

1. Prepare the passport and a copy of the visa

2. Then go for a medical examination..(This is a requirement for the authentication of the visa at Qatar Embassy in Philippines).

3. Send the copy of passport, visa and the result of the medical examination (I would suggest you visit a DHL branch in Manila to check and inquire for other requirements) for authentication at Qatar Embassy...

4. Within 5-7 working days you'll receive the authenticated visa..

5. Documents required are completed.. Never to forget the ticket and the usual process inside the airport..terminal fees, filling forms, etc..etc...

Hope it helps.. Good luck and hope everything will be ok...

And if you wish to call your wife on FAMILY VISA then:

1. You should be having a salary of QR 7500.

2. NOC from Sponsor alongwith Salary Certificate.

3. Any Document proving that the applicants are related to you.

4. Visa Application Fee...Payable by E-Card or Debit Card.

5. Bank statement of salary for the last six months (for non-government employees), marriage certificates, children's birth certificates and education certificates (although you don't always need these in practice).

6. Marriage, children's birth certificate and education certificate should be certified, but in practice you probably don't need to. Photocopies are acceptable.

7. Passport photos of yourself, your spouse and your children (if you have kids).
