Regarding dependent visa for My Daughter

Post new topic

Neenumich

Hi all....
I really appreciate this expat.com website. Really its very helpful to me. Good Job  !

I am from India working here as a secretary . My salary range is now 400 BD. I need to take my Daughter here in Bahrain with me as a Dependent Visa. Actually am divorced & right now my daughter is staying with my mother . My daughter age is 8 Years .My Mother age is 52 years.  I applied for my mother & daughter visit visa manually in Dec'17. i got my mother visit visa & it will expire in March 20th 2018. My Daughter visa rejected bcuz she is minor. so that now am applying Dependent Visa.
My Question is...
1. Is it possible to take My mother in my dependent Visa.

2. What are the documents required for my Daughter visa. ( i went to Indian embassy today & they told her father should give NOC, but its impossible to search him. They need my original Divorce Certificate approved from Court & it should be written that my daughter will stay with me only. But in my Court order they didn't mentioned that custody details. so am confused )

3. They need my daughter birth certificate original also. But all the originals are in India.

Before March 20th I need to get visa for my Daughter. Is it possible... Can anyone suggest me exactly what i want to do?

Looking forward your Replies......  :)
Thanks in Advance...

1) Theoretically possible but practically no.  Sponsoring visas for parents is tricky as there are no established rules and entirely up to the discretion of immigration.  It's easier if you work for a big company, are at a managerial level and have a strong PRO.  In your case, I don't think it is likely or possible to do that i.e. your profession & salary

2) Usual documents for dependent visa are copies (scans) of first two pages of passport of child, photograph, birth/marriage certificate (attested by ministry of foreign affairs and bahrain embassy in your home country), mother's passport / residency etc. In your case, you will need to attach a divorce certificate (also attested as above).   

Read this:

If it is an online application by your employer i.e. through EMS system of LMRA; then originals are NOT needed.  But if you are a self sponsor or any category not handled by LMRA, then you would need to apply directly with immigration and they may ask to see originals.

Now the tricky bit; generally for a mother to sponsor kids here in Bahrain (and you must have a visa profession / industry allowing you to do so), they ask for an NOC from the father.  If the father is IN Bahrain on a work visa then this NOC actually has to be done at the Notary public and attested by Ministry of Foreign affairs Bahrain. If the father is not in Bahrain and you have a divorce certificate plus proof of custody, then it would not be needed.

My suggestion is to try and get an NOC from the father (have to attest it as well like the other documents - he will have to do it before a notary then MOFA India needs to attest it and finally the Bahrain embassy in India) or try to get any other official document which can serve as a substitute for NOC by proving custody in your favour.   

3) Who needs originals?  can you be more specific?   as I mentioned, originals are not needed depending on mode of application.  Even if they are; you can always courier them over via DHL - it takes 2-3 days max

If you get all the documents; it is theoretically possible to have everything done before 20th March.
