Ministry of Interior

I am writing this post to tell all of you who may be having issues with your visas and residencies the bottom line. Go to the Ministry of Interior yourselves and find out exactly what rights to which you are entitled and don’t fall into the trap I did.

This just in today's edition of the Peninsula:

"Mother alleges kidnapping of 10-year-old British boy

DOHA: Adam Jones (Fawaz Jamal Juma Abdullah) (pictured), a 10-year-old British national, has been allegedly abducted during his recent visit to Qatar with his mother.

Adam’s mother Rebecca Jones told The Peninsula that she and her family arrived in Doha on October 3 and the boy was abducted on the second day of their visit.

“Since then, I have not seen or spoken to my son and is deeply concerned about his safety,” Rebecca said.

A criminal case has been filed against the suspected kidnapper with the Qatari Public Prosecution office.

DOHA: Private security agencies will now be allowed to buy, import directly or hire arms and ammunitions for use from the Ministry of Interior provided they fulfill a set of strict criteria to be decided by the Interior Minister.

Staff members of a private security agency will, however, require special licences from the Interior Ministry to use a gun.

The manager of a security company which buys or hires weapons will be responsible for their safekeeping.

All private security firms will need special permits from the Interior Ministry to operate.

The manager of such a firm is to be essentially a former Qatari policeman or from any public security agency, including the army, navy or air force.

The Interior Minister can, though, exempt a company from this condition.

The Ministry of Interior has announced the duty time for some of its service departments during the Eid holidays. The General Directorate of Borders, Passport & Expatriates Affairs, Criminal Evidence and Information Department (CEID) and Nationality and Travel Documents Departments will work from 8 am to 12 noon. The Airport Security and Passport Department will also work from 8 am to 12 noon, while the traffic patrols and traffic investigation sections will be working 24 hours a day.

I currently reside in US and my current employer wants me to go to Qatar for 6 months for work purpose (to work in a local Qatar based company - its more like a consulting project)

My question is regarding what are the steps I need to take in terms of the paperwork to get the visa for 6 months?

I hold Pakistani passport and have US resident card (green card)

The info posted on the Qatar embassy states as to send the documents to Ministry of Interior in Doha, through a relative or a friend and I dont have any friend or relatives in Doha

Answer to a Question

Question: After two weeks of protests and demonstrations in Iran, is it envisaged that these protests would continue? What is the purpose of these persistent protests now that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been elected for a second term? Is a coup against the systems of the mullahs and Wilayat al-Faqih expected in Iran, thus stripping the spiritual guide of his religious authorities? In other words, is Iran about to undergo radical changes?
