Any expats from Singapore currently staying in Doha could assist me?

Hi Joshlim88,

I have created a new thread with your post on the Doha forum for more visibility and interaction with the members.

Thanks,

Priscilla 

I'd be relocating to Doha with my family in Jan next year and hopes to connect with Singaporean Expats who are already there.  Any tips on housing, car, schools, etc will be most welcome!

Hi there,

Welcome to DOHA! Please refer to the following information

Step1: http://www.mfa.gov.sg/content/mfa/overs … rial.html.
Ministry of Foreign Affair of SIngapore :
LEGALISATION OF SINGAPORE DOCUMENTS TO BE USED IN QATAR

Legalisation of Government Documents

All documents issued by the Singapore Government Departments (eg. Registry of Marriage Certificates, Birth Certificates and Educational Certificates from local government schools) in their original text will be directly legalised by Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). However, computer generated documents eg. Registrar of Marriage Search, Certificate of Making Decree Nisi Absolute, Adoption Petition, Business Profile from ACRA etc, must be certified by the issuing department first before presenting to MFA for legalisation.

For legalisation of true copies, please present the photocopy together with the original document for verification. After the legalisation by MFA, the documents should then be brought to the Qatar Embassy in Singapore for authentication.

Legalisation of Non-Government Documents

Non-government documents (foreign / private / company documents) for use overseas to be legalised as follows:
Notarised by a Notary Public (any law firm offering notarial services).

To be issued with a notarial certificate.

Commercial documents such as Invoices, Bills of Sales, Certificates of Origin, Fumigation certificates, etc should be certified or seen by any of the four Chambers of Commerce (International, Chinese, Indian & Malay) or the Singapore Manufacturers' Association before presenting to MFA for legalisation.

After the legalisation by MFA, the documents should then be brought to the Qatar Embassy in Singapore for authentication.

Hi,

Joshlim88

Document attestation in Singapore : Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tanglin Road -> Qatar Embassy at Suntech City.

When you submit document in Qatar Embassy at SG they will take it only after you MFA attestation. For collection it is usually after 3 working days. At MFA it is done immediately. Please plan well and don't keep attestation work at last moment.

Once you arrive at Qatar it is pretty simple SG embassy and Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Hope this helps. I happen to do it for my kids BC. I'm PR not Singaporean living in Doha for 9 years need any help please message me. Good luck for your attestation.

Regards,
Allan
