Business visa to RP and family visit visa etc

So it continues...my company arranged me a Business Visa - i now have a copy by email. I plan to enter Doha June 25. my company has informed me they will then arrange work permit and RP for me and that then I will be able to sponsor and bring my wife and child.

I am UK Technical Manager, Salary package including housing etc Around QR 40,000 per month.

Wife and child are on Philippines passport.

My questions are:
1) How long should it take me to get my RP if i arrive June 25?
2) I want to then arrange a family visit visa for my wife and baby, how long will that take? Is there anyway around the bank certificates for salary transfer? Is it 100% required? I am being transferred to Doha by my company so can show salary transfer to my overseas account by the same international company for the past 12 months if needed.
3) Can i bring them on visit visa and then transfer to family visit visa after they arrive without them having to leave Qatar? And then transfer them to my sponsorship and RP when possible?

All advice much apprecIated as we dont have a house in Philippines or anywhere else (we are on contract in China at moment) and I do not want to leave them waiting in Philippines any longer than is absolutely necessary. Also, if anyone knows of any agency with the necessary wasta to make this happen for me please let me know?

Thanks in advance

Is there anybody help me to tell that, if someone previously live and worked in Dubai UAE and but due financial crisis during 2010, he lost his job and he could not be able to pay his few credit cards.And left country without informing banks.

Now its a year time passed, he wants to Come to Qatar on visit visa and find a job. Can anyone tell me that, Is there any problem if he comes to Qatar on VISIT visa now?

Thanks for your reply. So i can then bring them to Qatar immediately on a visit visa when i have my RP? Do you mean family visit visa or normal visit visa? Cheers

1) your company can take any number of days to get an RP. it depends on the need of the company and how fast the pro works.

2) as soon as you get an rp, you can call your wife and child on a visit visa and once you have the bank statements you can apply for their rp.

3) a minimum of 3-4 months bank statement is a must from a salary transfer in Qatar.
