People working in Qatar can sponsor family and relatives for a period of up to six months. (The initial stay is for one month, and this can be renewed up to a total of six months.) Wives and children can come for up to a year.

To apply for the visa the applicant will need a copy of their id or passport and a copy of the visitor’s passport (a scan will do), a letter from the applicant’s own sponsor (i.e. their employer) and proof of their relationship such as birth and marriage certificates.



You also need two photographs of the visitor.. The visit visa lasts for one month but can renew for up to five months for immediate family and for up to two months for other family residents. Residents in the country should apply at the Gharaffa immigration department near Landmark.
