.

Depends on certificate you hold, attestation (even though its not required under the grace period) company business . Try for marketing specialist if your company business type allows it, still you cant sponsor any one other than your immediate family (wife + kids).

What about computer programmer?

Store keeper profession will be able to bring family on a family visa.

Dear HRGRU,

When I checked with my company, they said that "Store Keeper"/ "Khaazan" cannot bring his family permanently. I am sad and dis hearted after listning this.

Please Please tell me I apply for family permanent visa or change my profession again....how I apply to change my profession if store keeper is not eligible to bring family.

Thanks
Aleem

transfer after 2 years will be based on mutual understanding and type of relation you have with your manager and HR. Considering past cases I doubt they will release , try to get something in writing from them

@aleemir :

I will go with the above suggestion.

Well, based on the inquiries and answers above...we could just all hope that HRGuru is in the approving table in the Ministry for these visas...otherwise, it is still as mystical as ever!

I beg to differ. Anyone with a store keeper iqama profession won't get the family visa.

However, I do suggest the same: Visit them and give it a shot.

@Popolocroix :  I guess its more of experience rather than wild guesses. I do agree though that its still mystical.

@TLL : They have started even giving family visas to drivers at one point, even though it did not last long.  Store Keepers have got their families, but perhaps not through the straight channels, again the suggestion was for him to try.

I am being mystical too, guess the sands are filling up my brains as well

Dear All,

Everybody know that engineer, doctor, technician etc are elegible for getting family permanent visa but no body gave answer of the root question about a particular profession which is
store Keeper. If anybody knows about it and have confirmed informaion, then please share here.

Thanks Aleem

This has been answered several times, some with positive and some negative responses. Meaning some said its possible while others said its not. In any case you need to try with this profession, this is for sure.

In this profession as supervisor, you can get family visa, you can invite them on visit visa, you will get VOA to some GCC, (Dubai needs to be checked specifically), you can invite parents, but you cannot sponsor parents on permanent visa. Most visa professions cannot sponsor parents on permanent visa.
