Good day! You stated that I need a copy of my previous resident visa in Qatar. Aren’t the QID and resident visa the same?

How to obtain your Qatar police clearance certificate when you're in the Philippines?

 

1. You can send all the requirements to the Qatar Embassy through WExpress (affiliated with DHL, they have different branches but they have one in DFA ASEANA). I called the embassy and was advised that the wait time for this process will take up to 2-3 months.

 

2. You're lucky if you have a friend in Qatar who is willing to process and get it for you.

 

My friend successfully got my PCC in just 1 week!

 

Here is the list of requirements I sent him:

 

a. SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY (SPA)

b. NBI CLEARANCE

c. SUNDRY CARD/FINGERPRINTS

d. LETTER OF PURPOSE

e. CLEAR PHOTOCOPY OF YOUR PREVIOUS QATAR ID
f. CLEAR PHOTOCOPY OF YOUR PASSPORT AND RELEVANT PAGES
g. 3 PCS OF 2x2 PHOTO (this may not be needed), The Ministry of Interior (CEID) used the photo I had on their system which was the one used in my QID. (But just in case, include it.)
h. COPY OF YOUR PREVIOUS RESIDENT VISA

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

a. SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY (SPA) to authorize the person you will appoint to transact, request, sign and receive on your behalf. This has to be notarized with a Certificate of Authority for a Notarial Act (CANA). 

 

Don't forget to bring a photocopy of your friend's Qatar ID, ask the lawyer to include his/her QID number in the SPA. You will also need your friend's date of birth, nationality, and address.

 

*Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) does not authenticate this document without CANA.
*You can ask the lawyer who will sign your SPA where you can get his/her CANA.

 

FEE: 1,150 PHP for SPA and 100 PHP for the CANA.
(SPA fee may differ depending on which law office you'll go to)

 

 

b. NATIONAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (NBI) CLEARANCE. Check the nearest NBI satellite near you. 

 

FEE: 130 PHP

 

I got 2 copies of these so I can send one to Qatar and one for my visa requirement.

 

 

 

c. SUNDRY CARD/FINGERPRINTS. You can get this from NBI or (Philippine National Police) PNP in Camp Crame.

 

NBI requires an endorsement letter as a proof that this document will be used for visa requirements. However, Qatar and the US embassy do not provide any endorsement letters. If you have the checklist with you from National Visa Center (NVC), you can bring it there and they might give you the sundry card. Please contact NBI about this.

 

I got my fingerprints from PNP, Camp Crame - Crime laboratory. Once you're there, you will be asked to pay the fee at Landbank within the camp. People are really nice and helpful, so just ask them how to get there. It is just a walking distance from the lab.

 

FEE: 200 PHP

 

Once paid, go back to the lab. You will only need (2 pcs) 2x2 pictures and the receipt of your payment.

------------------------

After collecting these documents, you may now bring them to DFA-ASEANA. (DFA satellite offices do not authenticate PNP sundry card)

 

FEE: 200 PHP each document for 1-day processing. 

- SPA/CANA
- PNP fingerprints
- NBI
(total is 600 PHP)

*If you're willing to wait for the normal processing, you will only need to pay 100 PHP per document which will take 4 days before you pick it up.

--------------------------------------------------

FEE: 100 QAR per stamp

Then finally, he submitted all of these to CEID on SEP 11 and he was able to get the PCC on SEP 17.

FEE: 100 QAR.

Hi,

 

I didn't go to the Qatar Embassy anymore. I just went to the DFA for the red ribbon. My friend who processed it in Qatar did the additional authentication there. I believe I have shared it in theis forum including what he had spent and places he went to. I'll double check it for you.
