Just went to the Immigration section at the Post office to renew my wifes residence permit. Stood in line for almost 3 hours at the end of which was told to go to the Labour dept for approval. Anybody have any idea about this process... what it entails, what documents are required and most importantly how long it takes?? Last year renewal was a breeze.. just took me 15 mins with no questions asked.

Why dont you go to Main Immigration office tmr morning and try your luck there, if they still insist on approval then you have to submit your papers at Labour Dept. it is near Muntazah petrol station.

Once you submit your papers they will provide you with reciept then you can check your application status online.

Taqwa is the most valuable fruit of fasting. Just as plants have their own season of flowering, so Ramadan is the season of the year, for blossoming of goodness, virtue and piety of the Muslim Ummah (nation). Not one, but millions of people jointly water

This is a standard procedure once every 5 years. The labor department is near American Hospital. Get the form from them. Have somebody at your company type it or just go to any typing/services shop to type it for you. They charge maximum 10 QRs. You will need a letter from your sponsor to renew wife's visa for 5 years and they should sign and stamp the labor department application. Will need passports copies (yours and wife) and marriage certificate.

Good luck. Usually Labor department approval will take one week.

Go to Labour Department? Did you ask them where is it? Sometimes when you get to immigration nobody knows what's the next step to do. but if you're patient to ask at least 10 persons around Immigration someone is bound to know where to go next and what's the next step. That's what I do! I don't hesitate to ask people and if I'm not sure I ask other people again. like what happen to us the police at the cabin insisted to bring the old sponsor's original ID but when we went back there this morning they didn't even bother to look for the original QID! and we went to a lots of effort to get the old sponsor to come down with us there at the immigration!

Sorry! I don't know about renewals as yet, but will ask my friends who knows about it and will get back to you as soon as I can.

Judge not! that you be not judged!
