I posted my problem once before, and got a response 4m u guys, but now need some more piece of advice.

Im a Pakistani guy, working in a company based in Dubai. I got RP for Dubai and now deployed here in Doha for some company's project and working here on BUSINESS VISIT VISA. My wife is in Pakistan, I want to bring her here either on visit visa or whtever feasible option available.

I inquired from Doha seef and some hotels for her visit visa, but everyone says that they can't sponsor a visa for Pakistanis .... I dont know whts the scene behind.

Plzz guys, I really need ur advice ... wht should i do now to bring my wife to me in Doha???

Thanks.

Dear For pakistanis the people here are not making any due faviours, i dont know the mi=otives behind it,, I had an interview with Qatar Gas and at the eleventh hour their HR guy (an indian) told me that for pakistani's there is not any option to change the job even if they got the NOC from the EX-employer.

It seems here that to be a paksitani is some thing obnoxious...

Cheers

Stealth --->> No dear, there isn't any RULE like that. Last week one of my team member went back to dubai and his next business visit visa was ready within 2 days and now he is here.

Britexpat--->> Yes, u r right, If company in doha wants, they can do it for me, but my company in Doha doesn't sponsor the visa for spouse, thats there policy :(((.

One of our employees got a visa for his wife who is Pakistani.. I think it depends on the company and how much clout they have..

business visa gets reissued only after you have been out of the country for 3 months.

No, actually there is nothing like that. According to my company in Dubai, I have been advised to get a 3 months Business visit visa everytime, and once It will be expired then I will have to go back to dubai. The company in doha, will re-apply for another 3 months business visit visa ... and this is how it will keep going on, till the end of contract.

Can you even have a business visa in Doha for a year? It seems the company in Doha should be pursuing an RP for you here and then you could sponsor your wife. Have you asked them about that?

Can the company here in Doha at least give you a contact at the immigration offices where you can get some answers?

YES, my company has signed atleast 1 year CONTRACT with the company in Doha ... So, hopefully, I stay here by the end of next year.

is it just a temporary situation or will you stay in Doha for longer?Because you said your Company is in Dubai.

My company doesnt have a branch Office in Doha. And I got the visa sponsored by the company in DOHA, but they dont sponsor the visa for spouse, thats the problem.

Does the company you work for have a branch office in Doha? If they do, ask someone in HR or who ever handles their immigration if they can straighten out the issue or at least get answers for you. How did you get a visa? Try talking to the person who arranged a visa for you to see if they can help.

Not being a resident of Qatar most likely makes it even more difficult to straighten out such issues.
