Famiy Visa requirements

Astral
By Astral

Hi there!

Got to hear that beginning Jan 2009 the family visa requirements have been raised.

Anyone who has applied or in that dept. can confirm this?

And what is the minimum basic salary for having family here........and does it effect those who are already residing here since before? I mean......will it be checked during renewal time that you satisfy the new rules??

Please enlighten me on this!Thanks.........!!

Thanks for all those quick responses :)

But, I do hope they will not raise it any further than existing Q.R.7000 as implied by cherukkan.........it will make matters difficult for Asian population especially and they won't be able to save much either.

As such the forced bachelors are having a tough time here!!

My sympathies........

Anyways, cheers to all and keep well!

Minimum Salary requirement is only for applying new family visa and is not applicable for the existing families for renewing their RP.

It was Qr. 7000/- till last month and I read in Newspapers that there is suggestion to increase it to Qr. 10000/-. I have no idea if that has been implemented or not.

While Renewal of existing residence visa there are no issues as the sponsor is already able to manage the family from quite sometime. This rule of minimum salary of Xxxx(I don't know the figure) will be verified only for new visas.

Thanx for the link pinoyacct...,

but it still does not answer my other question......

As to whether it will apply to those in the less than Q.R. 7000 category but who have family already here.

Will the above rule still apply when their family visa goes for renewal??
