Qatar Thread 3

[marssie]

hello po, question: meron po ba ditong sis na nakapag-apply na ng family visit visa? gusto ko sana iapply yung parents ko or at least my mom para may kasama naman ako when i give birth. sabi ng boss ko di daw ako pwede magapply kasi single status daw ako sa govt? WHAT?! meron naman akong marriage certificate to present (by the way, dito ako sa qatar nagpakasal). Tapos sabi ko pwede naman na magapply ang babae ng visa ngayon at siyang magsponsor. suggestion nya mag tourist visa, haller, tourist visa is 1 month only, sayang lang pamasahe galing pinas pag ganun kabilis di ba?

sorry... naiinis ako kasi daming drama, derechohin na lang ako kung ayaw mag-issue ng noc di ba?

Bakit di nalang si hubby mo sis pagapplayin mo para sigurado?  I came from dubai, at single din ako nung nagpunta duon at dun na rin kinasal pero navisahan ko ang nanay ko dati ng 3months.. halos same lang naman ata rules nila dito, pero kung ayaw ka bigyan ng boss mo ng NOC sa hubby mo nalang ipavisa baka mas madali

[rianne_00]

ask ko lang mga sis...qualified ba for educed travel tax kapag family visit visa status? sayang din kasi, P1600 din yun...inisponsor kasi ng hubby ko brother nya...or para sa asawa at anak lang yun as OFW dependent...TIA

glad i found this thread. 

i have a question. i heard na mahigpit daw ang qatar about hepa? i'm a carrier of hepa b kasi although i'm not really sick. i got it from my father's side of the family. basically lahat kami (11 na magkakapatid father ko and all of my cousins) carrier. pero i know na wala pa samen talaga nagkasakit. ang gulo nga eh.. i actually only found out about it myself when i applied for my first work and lumabas sa medical.  and then they ordered another test, i think to check some level kung mababa ba sya or mataas and i know saken lumabas na mababa naman and supposedly, i could get hired despite the hepa b.. but i didn't get hired then bec the position was urgent and yung test na ni-require saken, 1-2 weeks ata bago lumabas result.

anyway, hubby kasi is already working in doha and plan nya kami kuhanin ng baby ko. ikukuha nya kami ng family visa. kaso nga we're worried about this hepa thing. will we be granted family visa? nag-ask na kasi siya dun and sabi ng iba oo, sabi din ng iba hindi. so di namin alam... some say we could be granted the family visa but i won't be allowed to work kasi di daw ako bibigyan work visa. sabi naman ng iba, pwede pa din magwork, just not related to medicine or food.

so could anyone help us out? we're really very confused. for now plan nya na visit visa muna ikukuha nya samen pero he's worried kasi na baka pagdating doha i-medical ako then i-deport.

hi sis, medyo mahirap yan,kasi dito kahit family visit visa. kukuha ka pa din ng medical for extension mo. kung Residence visa na ang apply sayo yung husband sponsor jan pa lang sa pinas kukuha ka na nila. mahigpit talaga sila medical. mahirap kasi dito nagwork ako as HR. kapag sa medical commision nalaman na nila may problem sinusumbong agad nila sa CID. medyo kakatakot kasi pupuntahan ka ng mga pulis.yung hired namin na pinoy nun direct na kulong pa sia ng 3days saka pinauwi..

yan ang na experience ko sa sa isang bago hire namin na pinoy. ganun sila katakot eh...kaya dapat pa sure mo muna jan sa pinas.

ingats ang godbless

question mga sis. ok po ba mag-work sa Qatar? can you give me a feedback po about qatar. we're planning to work as admin assistant po sana.. ok po ba talaga sa qatar? baka someone can give us a hint sa weather, culture, expenses (cost of living) para naman po hindi kami maculture shock dun..

thanks.

[kyuting13]

sis marssie, medyo same procedure din if si hubby ang hihingi... anyway, napaliwanagan na ng mandoub namin si boss. icheck lang daw nila and if not kahit business visa bibigyan daw nya ako. ok na rin for 3 months. thanks for the reply

sis dolcezza, like sis mugz07 medyo mahirap nga yan. kasi meron din kaming staff ang case naman nya was spot sa lungs. though my clearance sya from a hospital in manila, hindi inaccept ng medical commission and he was immediately sent home. you can get a visit visa and then upon extension mag papamedical ka, only then will you know if you'll pass.

sis ms_teryosa, ok naman mag work dito, lalo na kung office work naman. weather ngayon well... very hot! culture, you have to respect that this is an islamic country so sexy clothing is a no no... unless gusto mo mapagalitan ng lokal or pagtinginan ng mga laborer cost of living well, there are some stuff you'll be able to enjoy na di mo na eenjoy sa pinas, pero pinaka-sad dito is mahal ang clothes haha, sometimes di pa maganda ang style. all in all it does depend also what you get with you salary, if you are given an accommodation or allowance and transportation... hope this helps.

mga sisses, please help me naman.

My bf is in Qatar na for 4 months. Naguguluhan na kami kasi di na namen alam ang easiest way para makarating ako ng Qatar. Nag aapply ako thru agencies here (HR ang background ko) kaya lang puro males ang hanap. Pede ba ako mga visit or business visa? If yes, musta ang application sa office work if ganung klase ang gamet na visa? Please help me sisses.

sis as far as i know, sa asawa at anak lang ang reduced travel tax

[ms_teryosa]

@ sis kyuting, thanks for the info..it really helps.. yung weather po ba dyan is same like sa pinas? sabi kasi minsan mainit minsan malamig.. can you guys give me some feedback like anong month yung super init and super lamig.thanks.

[dolcezza]

thanks for the answers sis mugz07 and kyuting13 

automatic ba na pag minedical they would check for the hepa? what if wala naman plan magwork? will they still check me for hepa sa medical? standard ba talaga yung test?

[rianne_00]

tnx sis honeys_wife...uu nga raw eh kaya hindi ko na pinilit hehe...by the way flight na niya tomorrow...may makakasama na rin akong mag alaga sa toddler ko...

[kyuting13]

sis ms_teryosa, medyo mas constant ang climate dito... constantly mainit haha. normally medyo lalamig lang pag end of the year na, like last year november na talaga lumalig and it would only last till about feb.  the summer heat is most intense pag july-august, with matching humidity pa, last year nag 51 degrees, but i dont think we had that this year.

Sis dolcezza, standard requirement na kasi ngayon yung medical once magextend ng visa and requirement talaga siya especially for residency. though wala talagang official list of things that they look for (i think so ha) but blood related issues kasi has been known here na wina-watch out. if you can take the risk and come here, after medical if you pass then ok, pag hindi, at least you were here for a month. sorry cant offer more encouraging words.

sis rianne_00, your back! kala ko nagdeliver ka na or finish na nga? i opened my file in gharafa health center na, may appointment na rin ako sa oct. mukhang ok naman, anyway, sabi nila kahit sa private hospital ka manganak kung may complication sa hamad ka pa rin dadalhin. hope that you are ok

Hello mga Sis, napadaan lang. As of now, I'm enjoying bonding with my new poging baby. I gave birth sa HMC Women's Hospital last August 10 via LSCS. Hindi ko na reach iyong 40th week kasi during that period 37 weeks pa lang si baby.

Very good ang birth experience ko sa Womens. BTW, it's the first time I gave birth here in Qatar although my first baby was made in Qatar too pero umuwi ako ng 'Pinas to deliver him then.

Anyway, goodluck sa mga Preggy Mom's here. Keep healthy & stay safe.

[kyuting13]

wow! sis msn, glad to know you had safe delivery thanks for the feedback na rin with the womens clinic, sounds very comforting God bless.

[rianne_00]

sis kyuting, uu nga eh medyo tinamad ako mag post , 1st check up ko at hamad 2 weeks ago (35 weeks LMP) , expected ko na IE ako pero hindi eh, usual check up lang and ang kinagulat ko eh sept.20 pa next sched ko for check up eh due ko na ng 22, hindi na ko umapela kasi expected ko talaga na hindi na ko abutin ng due ko...by the way may sched naman ako ng ultrasound sa Sunday although gusto ko ng magpadala sa Women's tonight kapag hindi pa rin nawala ang pain ko.

sis MSN, congrats! kaya pala medyo naglie low ka sa post eh nanganak ka na pala ...hope everything is fine with you and your baby...share mo naman birth experienced mo sa Women's para may idea ako on what to expect...thanks...God bless!

[rianne_00]

[yaskulet]

Hi mga sis! I am planning to go on business visa sa Qatar then ikakasal kami ni BF ko dyan. We are still in the process of finding a travel agency who can sponsor me for the said visa. Meron din ako na kausap na Pinay na na sponsoran ng isang company for her business visa and she gave me the contact number and email address. I contacted the company (Oxygen WLL) and I inquired about the said visa. Nag reply naman and sinabi ang requirements - QR 2500 in total (1500 initial dep before visa application).

Ang question ko now mga sis, pano ang systema in case yung company na yun sponsored me? Pag ba nag hanap ako ngwork need ko ba ng NOC from that company? Considered employed status na ba ako sa Oxygen WLL in case i sponsor nila ako? Worry ko kasi baka mag ka hassle if mag apply ako sa iba tas hingan ako ng NOC.

Mga sisses, please enlighten me. Btw, I called Al Deera din they are not issuing business visa for females. For males lang daw.

Thanks so much sa mga mag rereply.
