Hi. I have question. I gave birth here in qatar and we didn’t process my baby’s residence permit or visa. Can my baby leave Qatar without visa or residence permit? Thank you.
Hi DG, just want to ask once the visa gets approved, can my family come for the medical processing and exit Qatar while waiting for the result? Can they then return again using Hayya visit when his exam result is received to process the finger printing and QID?
Please confirm I was applying for my son for family residency but they ask for husband salary certificate and resident id. As I am the sponsor, so I have uploaded mine as mother, is it ok? Does the six month still valid for private sector employees. Moreover, my family is on visa on arrival, do they have to exit after issuance of family visa?
@dohaguide- Thanks for the useful information. Can you kindly advise when the government has started approving the Family RPs for private sector employees, in 2023?
How long is is the validity of RP Visa? People say you should enter within 3 months even though the visa validity is up to 6months,Please clarify, My visa Issued on 14/02/2024 and expires by 12/08/2024
Payment options for print family visa not showing in the metrash any other option? I have checked MOI its showing that go to the nearest MOI office for pay fees
im getting a “fifth english name” error when submitting. My wife and son surname has a space in it same in passport details,its a 2 word surname.. Should i update it as one word only?
@@christeenascaria2111 and i have heard that for Pakistan hayya card is banned what options do we have to bring our family there can we apply visit visa ?
Hi,second time applying matrash2 there is two options one is salary certificate another one is husband salary certificate these option we apply NOC or bank 6 month statement
This is a new update. Some people have uploaded same NOC in all three fields. Some others have uploaded bank statement in salary certificate and NOC in other two fields. Both are working. If you can get bank statement use that.
Hi, recently I have got visa for my mother_in_law , Her name in visa is like firstname and fathers name as initials, this happened beacuse in Metrash2, it was asked for indians to provoide the fatername as initials as red error message and I gave it, now while coming to Doha , wether it be a problem, to onborad from india while they check the details or while during the immigration process in qatar.
Hi, You have to get it attested from your country's Embassy in Qatar and from Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is better to do it through any attestation agency in Qatar. They will know the process better and can do quicker.
Yes, they are issuing. So many people have received approvals in the last two months. However there is a delay in most approvals (while some lucky people get approved quickly).
Hi, if there is no reason mentioned you can apply again or visit Gharaffa Immigration to check. It is better to visit Gharaffa in September as they are not allowing entry now.
My daughter born in qatar ,for the Sponsership change i am planning to cancel the current ID . For the new residency application should i need birth certificate Attestation or not ??
hello @doha guides. I already done with medical and fingerprinting its almost 1week since im done with the procedure. unfortunately until now QID not yet delivered? what to do?
@@dohaguideshello i applied it on metrash and then when metrash always rejected the photos or signature that i was submitted. then thats time i came on moi for direct submission. its a Family Residence Visa
Hi, can I apply for visa for my kids with 3 months salary statement? ( kids are 6 and 2 yrs old ). Also is it mandatory to have attested documents of education, marriage and birth?
Hi, (1) For private sector employees, the requirement is 6 months bank statement. There is a high chance of rejection if applying with only 3 months statement. (2) Yes, certificate attestation is mandatory for Family RP.
Hi Mohammed, There is no standard time for that. Under Process is the first stage. You can find the stages and status meanings here: www.dohaguides.com/family-visa-in-qatar-requirements-documents/
The family entry Visa is valid for 90 days. If the family members cannot enter Qatar within this period, can we get the entry visa extended. If so how to do it ?
Hi DG, people who applied 30th on July also got approval but ours status not yet changed still under process applied on 7th August can you please suggest related this
Hi Razmaan, Unfortunately RP applications are not processed on a first come basis. Many people who got approved recently had applied before 6 months. The good news is that nowadays processing is faster than before. So hopefully yours will be processed soon.
Hi, I am applying my family permenent visa in metrash app but it is not asking education documents and 6 month salaey statement. Only following documents section are showing 1. Marriage certificate 2. Merriage certificate other 3. Other 4. Passport Please let me know how can i upload my education and salary statement documents
Hi Hanif, Bank Statement & Education certificate is not required now. Salary is verified through WPS salary transfer. Education is verified through labour contract.
@@dohaguidesThank you In merriage certificate other section I just need to upload backside of merriage certificate? And in other document sectio I just need to upload NOC right?
This is very informative and helpful. If my family will come here via "Hayya With Me" and then I applied for the RP and got the approval. Will they have to exit the country or I can proceed with step 3 (Medical Test). Thanks,
Hi Fathima, Here are the details: www.dohaguides.com/qatar-family-visit-visa-requirements/ To prove the relationship between sponsor and visitor, you can upload birth certificate (if available) or passport's last page with parents' name.
i have applied two months since I applied for family visa. My visa status change to under process >under review >Under process will my visa be approved?
hi what is the difference between family yearly visit visa to family residence visa. since my husband applied me. my type of visa i have is Family yearly visit (resident) .Can I stay longer after 90days?
@@dohaguides what is difference. my printed visa: duration to stay is 1year and type of visa is FAMILY YEARLY VISIT but in visa stamped in my passport duration is 3months and type of visa is RESIDENT. what does it mean.?
@@cutiedianne4059 3 months is the time to complete other formalities after entering Qatar (medical and fingerprint). Once you complete them, you can get Qatar ID. The duration of stay depends on the Qatar ID (usually 1 to 3 years).
@@dohaguides so meaning i can stay longer to qatar after i get my qatar id? and my visa is qatar family residence visa Not Family visit Visa? I am right?
No, it has slowed down a bit, but still people are getting approvals this week. They are not allowing applicants to meet MOI officials for RP follow-up.
My husband applied rp at the beginning of last week it's still under process , can me and my son and come to Qatar on visit visa during processing period and what to do if rp approved
Yes, you can apply for Family Visit Visa while Family RP is under processing. If the RP gets approved while you are inside Qatar you can convert Visit Visa to RP Visa by paying QR 500.
Hello, I just came to Doha a month back. My salary is more than 10k but less than 15k. 1. Can I apply for permanent residency for my wife? 2. I do not have 6 month pay slips. Is that fine, or is 6 months statement mandatory? 3. In case of rejection, can a user submit a new application instantly again?
Hi Aftab, Currently salary is verified through WPS transfer. So 6 months bank statement is not required. However it is not clear if they are checking 6 months salary transfer. You can try applying after 3 months. If it gets rejected you can apply again once you complete 6 months. You can apply instantly if it is rejected, but there is no use of applying again if it is due to salary credit. Applicants with 10,000 are now getting approved. See the new updates here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bManxFFrrwg.html&ab_channel=DohaGuides
Hi, Family RP for parents are issued in very special cases only. Your salary should be really good (at least QR 20K) and there should be supporting reasons (eg. no siblings to take care of parents). Even if you meet these conditions, it is solely at the discretion of the MOI officials. There is no guarantee it would be approved.
@@dohaguidesif RP for parents is not possible, then maximum for many months they can stay with me using which visa? Also which medical insurance they need to have in case of emergency? As they are above 60 years medical insurance is a must.
@@suhail_style You can apply family visit visa. It is issued for 1 month and can be extended for 2 more months. Health insurance cost is QR 50 per month. You will get the link to purchase insurance after your application is approved. Here are the details: www.dohaguides.com/qatar-family-visit-visa-requirements/
Hello doha guide I would like to ask if i can change the visa of my husband into Resident Visa.I sponsored my husband under family visit visa and he is already in Qatar.Could you please tell me what is the next step. Medical test already done here
Hi, There is a delay in most applications. Since it is already 6 weeks, he can try visiting Duhail Immigration to check the status. Sometimes they may not allow entry. Better to go during noon time.
My husband applied for Rp visa my son got approval may 8th but still i didnt get any response for my visa please let me know maximum how long it will take to process ?
Hi Nisha, Usually mother's visa will be approved within one week of child's approval. They need additional few days for CID clearance. Since it has been 3 weeks, may be your husband can visit Gharaffa to follow up. It is better to go next week as this month they are not allowing follow up visits.
Hi, Those on Family Visit can change to RP Visa by paying QR 500 (after RP is approved). Here is the complete guide: www.dohaguides.com/convert-family-visit-to-residence-visa/
Hii Doha guide............my question is me and my son came to qatar last year on rp visa.......after came to qatar I delivered a baby girl here in qatar in the month of october due to fifa my husband didn't apply for her Qid.........after that we were busy and forgot about that.......last month my husband went for applying her qid .......there they told him to follow same procedure like first apply for rp visa if it will approve then go for fingerprint after that your baby will get her Qid............am here only she born here only rp visa process will take time or it will be approve soon?
Hi, Usually such applications are approved within a week. If you don't get any response after one week, father can visit Gharaffa Immigration for follow-up.

Hi Doha guides, my husband applied rp for me and son 2 weeks ago and has all the requirements but still showing under process today I read a post from your page that RP for private sectors getting normal can you please suggest hows the processing going on
Hi Razmaan, Unfortunately there is no standard time-frame for RP processing. If you read the comments on our website you can see some eligible applicants are waiting since 2022. The good news is that approvals are faster nowadays. Hopefully yours will be processed soon.
Hi Christina, your application has completed 3 stages. Next stage is Captain's approval (visa number) and then CID clearance. Hopefully it would be done in few weeks.
Hi, You cannot apply for a new visa if she already has residence visa. You can transfer it to your sponsorship by getting NOC from her current sponsor.

Hi Jafar, Adults need CID approval which takes less than a week (usually 1-3 working days). Inshah Allah, your wife will get approval this week. After that only you can see payment option for your son.
@@dohaguides Thank you for your reply. if they are already here in Qatar with Hayya visa, is there any issue or still i can get the option to print visa. Or they need to exit first.
@@jafark8268 Hi Jafar, You can print the visa even if they are inside Qatar, but their visa in the system will still be Hayya. So they have to exit Qatar and re-enter with the new visa.
@@jafark8268 No problem, If RP gets approved you can print. Here is our guide on visa change: www.dohaguides.com/visa-changing-process-via-abu-samra-land-border

Hi Doha guides, my husband applied for rp for me and my son last week ,he has the all eligibility to get rp, he's senior accountant in a good standard company but still under process HV to attend my son to school, is there any possibility to get quick approval
Hi Razmaan, Unfortunately nowadays there is a delay for most RP applications. The processing is not based on first-come basis. There are people waiting for several months, while some people get approved in few days. So if you are lucky it would be approved soon. Good luck!
Hi, I'm asking you is there any possibilities to approval soon if the all requirements and eligibilities met together, my son's academic year effected by this can you please kindly suggest
Did anyone under private sector recently get approval for family RP? I am waiting desperately since 5 months for approval. Currently the application is in stage 3 (under process) since 25th July. Made an enquiry at the immigration yesterday but they said it is still closed for private sectors? Please can people share their situation or experience. Need some hope that the RP visas will be processed soon as its very sad the long wait.
Hi, We can confirm that hundreds of applicants (who applied months ago) have received approvals in the last two weeks. It seems to be closed again this week as their office is shifting location. Hopefully you will get some good news soon.
I'm outside Qatar and I got approved family resident visa. Do I need to take medical test in my country in the hospital accredited by Qatar before entering Qatar?
Helo I have two doubts 1.My husband applied for RP visa yesterday for me and my two childrens. My childrens have hayya card.Several times i informed hayya portal for the cancellation of hay 4:56 ya. But they do not cancel it. Is it effet our RP visa? 2. I had tried to get hayya approval many times.But there was a problem in my Hayya. Then they told to register a complaint.But my hayya still pending.But they emailed me refrain from making any travel arrangements to Qatar until i get a response from they. Is It effect my Rp visa?
Thank you for this very helpful video. I have a question please? My husband has a job in international school as a teacher. His salary is 10,500 but bills, utilities, schools, family accommodation is payed. Will the 15,000 still be an issue? Also does the 6month bank statement have to be from employee in Doha? That means we can’t come out untill he’s been there for 6months for the bank statements? Thank you
Hi, There has been some changes to Family RP. Nowadays you only need QR 10,000 salary. The bank statement is not required anymore. Please see the new updates here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bManxFFrrwg.html&ab_channel=DohaGuides

Hi Safrin, Medical test is done at Medical Commission, while Fingerprint is done at MOI Service Center. You can do fingerprint only after medical test result is updated in the system. This may take 1-3 working days. So it is almost impossible to do on the same day.
