We had no problem getting approval for a Philipino a couple of months ago, but we were transferring her visa, she was already in the country. I think the problems arise with trying to bring new ladies in? Could be wrong here... And the rules could all change again next month, so don't panic too much...

Hi..I asked my hubby to clarify what he did. He said he applied alone not through an agency.We applied before yesterday, they told him it will take two days.To our surprise yesterday morning he got the message! The lady he gave the application to told him he will probably need to come back and change the nationality! Lol He also mentioned that we did have an approval but that it got expired Feb. 2013 and this was him applying to get it renewed.Mrsw2: I heard they're making it difficult for agencies,do try to apply yourself.I hope it does work out for you soon. BEDH: he said it's an approval whether we want to transfer a filipina already in Doha onto our sponsership or get one through an agency from the philipines isn't a problem. P.s I also remembered that my friend also got a filipina approval 2 to 3 weeks go. <em>edited by MunchkinMommy on 02/04/2013</em>

I heard about the ban too. However, I got my approval for a maid from the philipines yesterday :) Approval to sponsor a Fillipina already in Doha or actual work visa to bring a named Fillipino person from outside of Doha ?

Munchkin mommy - you have given me hope. Can I ask how you managed to get the approval? I ahve been trying since November with no luck. We ahve a much loved nanny who we ahd to send home to Phillipines in januaryy and she is waiting for the ban to come to an end. Can I ask did you use an agency? Any tips you can share would be very much approciated!
