hi my husband and i just ...hi my husband and i just went through the whole rp thing, we had to give 4 months worth of bank statements so you should double check, will save you alot of running around

You better check with your company liason officer as to the bank statement. I think it depends on your salary as well because a friend was asked for a 6 month bank statement.

It depends on your company's ...It depends on your company's PRO'c connections with the authorities. I got family Visa with 3 months bank statements. No water or electricity bill were produced.
kulaz said
some say 3 ...some say 3 months, some say, 4 months,, maybe i will take chances for 3 months..who knows, if they reject my application, ill try 4 months, up to six months, is it possible..??
treysdad said
Better ask first your PRO ...Better ask first your PRO because some banks charge you per bank statement. CBQ charges 50QR per bank statement be it 6, 4, or 3 months. Since they will charge me anyway, I got 6 months statement instead of just 3 to be sure.

how much should the salary ...how much should the salary bracket be if you want to sponsor your family under your name?
pam_qatar said
it should be ...Qr 4,500 or more
sanjeev said
...The ......The Oracle...
hi
just want to mention somethings i know
iam sure the bank statement is required for the six months.
plus the birth certificate is not essential at all for wife. maybe only for kids.
minimum salary is above 4000
you will also need your job contract (the one which is submitted to labour department) to show proof of salary
i recently applied RP for my wife
so i guess no changes within one month

Family Visa Query - Urgent ...Hi All,
I am new in Qatar and just got my RP this week. I want to apply for family VISA to get my wife and kid here. Now I dont have a 6 month's bank statement as I just got my RP and opened a bank account this week. Plus, I dont have a copy of Electricity Bills as the accommodation in which I am living, the owner pays it himself. So in this case, how can I apply? I need to apply next week, so your comments will be highly appreciated.
Thanks to All in advance.

adeel_9298 ...If you do not have a bank statement to show.... you cannot apply... that's it. That's the requirement.
sorry but that's the requirement.

treysad how many days ...my husband is processing my husband sponsorship. do u think mga ilan days para ma release an entry visa ko kasi is tourist for only 1 month.
treysdad said
queenct ...If all the requirements are complete.... usually within 2 weeks. But all the depends on the completed requirements specially the NOC from your husband's company.
queenct said
treysad ...my visa is ood for one month only. pude pa kaya i extend or i really have to exit? my possibilities bah na di ma approve even if the requiremnts is complete?
treysdad said
queenct (of the South = Cebu?) ...I don't know for sure regarding tourist visas. As far as I know it is up to 28 days only.
For my family I applied for family visit visa and this can be extended up to 6 months. For extension you have to go to the medical commission.
Please check the QL Filipino group.... this has been thoroughly discussed there...

yep treysad...CEBU ...thanks so much for the advices. i will check it with my husband which visa he ot for me.
so_far_way said
lalaki lang po ba pwede ...lalaki lang po ba pwede mag-sponsor? bakit ang mga babaeng asawa hindi pwede?
treysdad said
so_far_away (re: wife sponsor husband) ...wives can also sponsor their husbands but they have to review their contract and company policy because there are companies that have clauses that state something to the effect that wives can sponsor their husband for family visa however if the husband gets employed here in Qatar some of the benefits (ex. vacation tickets, medical, education) get forfeited or discontinued because the husband is deeemed as the "main provider".
A friend of mine has this clause in her contract. Another friend is lucky that it is not so even if her husband is employed here she still gets all her benefits. So this depends on the company. They just have to check their contract and company policy.

Documents Required???? ...Hi, everyone.
What documents do the Qatari Authorites require for my
children and I to join my husband in Qatar. We already
have permission from company he works for. I just hear
that we need a letter from Home Affairs stating we are
a family. Does the marriage certificate and birth
certificates of the children not prove this? Is the
bank statements necessary? Soryy I ask so many questions
I just miss my husband so much and want to join him
there. Thanks to all.

Dear Sir, I have all of the ...Dear Sir,
I have all of the above papers but one thing i want to ask you is i have Bank stmt for 6 months.
My oldest salary was 3500 and it changed to 6000. I can show this from June,Jul and Aug.
But in June salary is House Cheque and Jul and Aug is salary transfer. why bcos our comp started salary tran from July.
Will it be a problem in my case. I have all other papers with me.
Please advce
treysdad said
Dear Jack01 ...Dear Jack01,
From what I understand on your post, you only have opened a Bank account in July since this was the start of your company's salary transfer to your account. Did I understand right?
If so, my advice is just try to wait by the end of this month (September) to get a bank statement or as soon as you have 3 months from date you opened your account. That way you have at least 3 months bank statement. Sometimes they do accept 3 months bank statement because what they check is your capacity to support your family here in Qatar.
As an added advise, make sure that your employment certificate states that you are receiving 6K QR per month.
Good luck and God Bless.
Hope this helps.

No need 3 Month bank statement!!!!!!!!!!! ...Hi,
No need 3 month bank statement if your RP stamped date less than 3 month duration. My RP Stamped 10 Days back, my bank statement only 1 Week old! I got the visa for my wife and kids today!.
Its all depends your position and salary!! yes if you are staying here for more than 3 months they may ask for 3 month bank statement.

RG_C ...If you are asking about the medical exam in the Philippines, I believe up to now it is not required for family visit visa.
But they will have to go for the medical exam here in Qatar at the Medical Commission. (see previous posts) They will also go for Blood Group (Blood typing) here.

Thanks treysdad... ...They said Qatar is strict in medical exams... My wife is HEP B positive but her doctor said its inactive w/c means she can't spread it. Its true because I don't have HEP B, even our new born son... Can she qualify for the RP??? Thanks again...

bank statement ...i got my wife's visa for 4 days.
they will require bank statement, i submitted a 1-month bank statement only but labor dept will ask you to attached your contract (from emploer)if that's the case.
TIP in getting your bank statement free of charge.
1. visit your online account
2. print your account details, transaction (that showing your name and account number, and status)
3. go to the bank, and present it.
4. they will just give you a cover sheet with stamp and their signature
5. if you dont have those printing itmes in item 2, they will print it for you and they will charge you at least 50QR..
good luck!

Hello ...Hello Everyone ...
Having read this forum topic ... I have come to understand that its possible to change family visit visa to family R.P ...
Is it the same case for the family that has arrived on tourist visa ... It should be noted that my husband will come on work visa that his firm will issue while myself and our baby son will come on tourist visa ...
Thank You
