I WISH TO APPLY FOR FAMILY VISA OF MY WIFE (RESIDENT VISA). I HEARD THAT IT NOW DOES NOT NEED APPROVAL FROM LABOUR OFFICE LOCATED AT MUNTAZA AND IS NOW BEING DIRECTLY ISSUED BY PASSPORT OFFICE. BUT WHEN I WENT AT LABOR OFFICE AS A NORMAL PROCEDURE, THEY PROVIDED ME AN APPLICATION FORM FOR FAMILY VISA AND ASKED ME TO FILL AND SBMIT HERE ITSELF. IM CONFUSED NOW .PLEASE SOMEONE CLARIFY WHETHER LABOR OFFICE APPROVAL IS STILL NECESSARY OR IT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM SCENE?

b)You need to apply Family Visit at immigration first,then as soon as it is approved,bring them here,medical certificate is not required anymore in Qatar embassy for visa stamping for family visit visa,after 1 week upon her arrival here in Doha,have her medical at medical commission ,then apply for your sponsorhip (husband)at Labour dept... no hassle of having her medical at home country...

Just say thumbs-up if this info help you in your query..

Hi..follow-up information on your query about family visit visa (resident visa) This information surely will guide you better, as I have experienced it recently...Just don't know if your wife is here or at your home country...

Here are the step you need to follow.

a)Don't apply directly as Husband Sponsor,as what I have done, I got the approval from Labour Dept(resident visa for my family directly) but when my wife went to DHL (authorize to transact with Qatar embassy)she was told to get medical certificate from accredited medical clinic as requirements aside from visa copy and her passport.

b)You need to apply Family Visit at immigration first,then as soon as it is approved,bring them here,medical certificate is not required anymore in Qatar embassy for visa stamping for family visit visa,after 1 week upon her arrival here in Doha,have her medical at medical commission ,then apply for your sponsorhip (husband)at Labour dept... no hassle of having her medical at home country
