This article explains the requirements, documents, application process, visa cost, and other details of the Qatar Family Visit Visa.

Since September 2023, Family Visit Visa applications are being accepted for visitors aged 60 and above . Many recent applicants have already received their visa numbers. Additionally, visit visa extensions of up to 6 months are permitted for spouses and children. Applications for family visit visas can be submitted online using the Metrash app. The new Immigration office at Al Duhail is now allowing entry for expatriates who want to make changes to their Visit Visa or Family RP applications or resubmit documents. However they may not allow follow-up visits. You can park your car in the basement and proceed to the first floor.

The profession should be a non-labour category . 3 The applicant should have family accommodation duly accredited by relevant authorities. 4. The visitor must have health insurance . 5.

Please note that the information provided above is not based on any official announcement but rather on the recent experiences of applicants who visited MOI Centers. Individual outcomes may vary depending on various factors.

Health Insurance For Family Visit Visa

Health insurance is now mandatory for a Family Visit Visa. Once your visa is approved, you will receive an SMS with a link to purchase the health insurance online.

Applicants can buy health insurance for QAR 50 per month from any of the registered insurance companies listed on the MOPH website. More details about visitors’ insurance are available here .

Attestation For Marriage Certificate

Until recently, most visit visa applications for spouses were approved without an attested marriage certificate. However, nowadays attestation is compulsory for marriage certificates .

For a Family Visit Visa, attestation is not mandatory for children’s birth certificates . It is mandatory for a Family Residence Visa.

Expatriate residents in Qatar can apply for a family visit visa subject to meeting minimum salary and professional requirements .

Minimum Salary For Family Visit Visa in Qatar

The minimum salary required to apply for a Family Visit Visa in Qatar for spouses and children is QR 5,000 per month.

A minimum monthly salary of QR 10,000 is required to apply for Family Visit Visas for other relatives.

Profession Requirement for Family Visit Visa in Qatar

Most expatriates with the required minimum salary are eligible to apply for a family visit visa. However, some applications may be rejected if the applicant’s profession on Qatar ID is labour-type.

Even if an application is rejected due to an ineligible profession, the Captain at the MOI Service Center has the power to change the decision.

Family Members That Can Be Hosted

• First Degree: Wife, Children, Father, Mother
• Second Degree: Brother, Sister, Grandfather, Grandmother, Grandchildren
• Third Degree: Children of brother or sister, Paternal uncle or aunt (brother or sister of father), Maternal uncle or aunt (Brother or sister of mother)

If applying for a visit visa for wife and children

While applying through Metrash, the following documents should be uploaded:

• Visitor’s passport copy (minimum validity of 6 months)
• Proof of relationship (Wife: Marriage Certificate / Children: Birth Certificate)
• Round-trip flight tickets

Employment details are not required when applying through the Metrash app, as currently labour contracts are linked with the Metrash system.

If applying for a visit visa for other relatives

Only married expatriates with family in Qatar can apply to sponsor other relatives.

• Proof of relationship (Birth Certificate, Passport, etc.)

Qatar Family Visit Visa fee is QAR 200 for 30 days . The entry visa can be extended by paying QAR 200 per month.

• Medical check-up: A medical check-up for a visa extension costs QAR 100.
• Fine for overstaying: The fine for overstaying beyond the allowed period is QR 200 per day.

Qatar Family Visit Visas are initially issued for one month (30 days) . After the visitor enters Qatar and undergoes a medical test, the visa can be further extended for another five months for spouses and children (total 180 days) and two more months for other relatives (total 90 days).

Health insurance needs to be taken for the additional period.

As the rules may change from time to time, an extension beyond 90 90-day stay is not guaranteed. If you are planning to extend for 5 more months (after one month) please confirm with the Immigration Department before purchasing additional insurance.

Number of Days To Enter Qatar After Visa Approval

Once the visa is approved, it will have the “visa valid till” date printed on the top. This is the last date for entry to Qatar (not the last date of stay in Qatar). Currently, it is 90 days from the date of visa approval . Visitors cannot use this visa after this date.

Traditionally, applying for a family visit visa was to visit any Ministry of Interior (MoI) Service Centre and submit copies of the documents along with the printed application form.

In 2018, Qatar introduced an online system where residents can apply for family visit visas through the Metrash2 mobile.

Through this service, you can upload all the required documents in the specified fields. You can also track the application status and pay the fees electronically once approved.

Below are the steps to apply for a Qatar Family Visit Visa using the Metrash mobile app.

Step 1. Open the Metrash2 app on your mobile and log in

If you haven’t registered for Metrash2, see our comprehensive Metrash2 User Guide .

Step 2. Click on the “Visa” icon

Step 3. Click on the “Issue Visa” icon

Step 4. Click on the “Family Visit” icon

Step 5. Select “Family Visa Application”

Make sure to select “Family Visa Application”, not “Family Resident Application”.

Step 6. Click on “New Application”

Step 7. Fill up the details of the visitor

The details to fill up include Gender, Relation, Nationality, Date of Birth, Passport Details etc.

Step 8. Click on the “Validate” button

Step 9. Upload the required photos or scans of the documents

• Document scans/photos must be clear and readable .
• For documents with multiple pages, you must combine both photos/scans to create one JPG file .
• When uploading passports, photo and bio pages should be on the same side.
• For “Marriage Certificate (Others)”, you can upload the attested backside of the marriage certificate.
• Often a birth certificate is asked to prove your relationship with the visitor. If this is unavailable, you can also use any other document proving the relationship.

Step 10. You will receive an update after a few days

If there are any missing or mismatched documents, you will be notified to make the required changes. After verifying and approving the application, you will receive an application number.

The application status will change to “Under Process”, “Under Review” and again to “Under Process” before getting approved.

Step 11. Pay the required fee

Once the visa is approved, you have to pay the visa fee (QR 200) online via Metrash. To make the payment, go to the “Visa Fees Payment” icon on the “Visa Operation” page.

Step 12. Buy health insurance

From April 2023, health insurance needs to be taken after the visit visa is approved (not during application).

Once your visa is approved, you will receive a message to buy the insurance. While buying the insurance, enter the visa number and it will be updated in the Metrash system. The visa can be printed only after insurance has been purchased.

After this, you can download the visa copy and send it to the visitor for travel.

You can see the status on your Metrash app itself.

You can also check the family visit visa status on the Ministry of Interior website under Inquiries >> Visa Services >> Visa Approval Tracking ( link ).

Enter the application number and application date or sponsor’s QID number. Make sure all the required details are filled in correctly, and you’ll be able to check your visa status.

The Ministry of Interior (MOI) no longer entertains offline applications for family visit visas. You are required to apply via the Metrash mobile app.

There may be several reasons why your family visit visa application is rejected. Often it is due to submitting wrong or insufficient documents.

If the document photo is not clear or not attested (in the case of a marriage certificate), you can do the attestation and resubmit again. However, it is imperative to understand the reason and fix it before applying again.

Applications can also be rejected if the applicant (a Qatar resident) does not comply with the required conditions (salary or profession). If the application is rejected due to the applicant not meeting the salary requirement, it would be difficult to get approved again.

However, in case of rejection due to profession, you can try to meet the Captain at the Immigration Office in Duhail , and request for reconsideration. Sometimes he would approve if the profession is acceptable.

If your application is still under review or process, you can cancel it by clicking on the right arrow on the status page. If this option is not available, you will have to visit any MOI Service Center.

• Passport (minimum validity of 6 months)
• Visa printout
• Two-way flight tickets
• Health insurance

Bring your family in style!

Qatar Airways is known for its exceptional passenger comfort and safety, offering great deals that can make your travel more budget-friendly. Check out the latest offers from Qatar Airways for a rewarding travel experience.

As the initial visa is issued for one month only, the sponsor has to extend it within the first month to avoid any penalties.

Relatives wishing to stay beyond one month must undergo a medical test within a few days. Here is the detailed process of the medical test for a visit visa extension .

Once the medical examination is passed, the visit visa can be extended online using the Metrash mobile app (Visa –> Visa Services –> Extend Visa) or by visiting any MOI service centre.

If the return ticket is after 30 days, some airlines may not allow visitors to board the flight since the initial visa is only for 30 days. So make sure to book a flight ticket that can be modified with a minimum change fee. In this way, once the visitor reaches Qatar, the ticket dates can be modified.

As this is an online visa, some airlines may require an “OK to Board” status in their system before departure. You can get this status by showing the visa copy to the airline’s Doha office.

“Null” Status on Visit Visa Application Receipt

Some of our readers have raised concerns that the receipt they received after application submission shows “null” in most fields.

Please note that this is normal for all applicants. This document is only an acknowledgement that they received your application. Your application details will be in the system.

Visit Visa Application “Under Process” and “Under Review” Status

Applicants often get confused about changes to their visit visa application status. It is normal that each visit visa application moves through “Under Process” and “Under Review” statuses multiple times before approval.

If your application status changes between these two, you do not have to do anything. In most cases, the application will be approved within days of a status change.

Qatar Family Visit Visa Approval Time

As of 2024, the average approval time for a Family Visit Visa is 1-4 weeks. Please note that applications are processed in batches and may not be on a first-come first-serve basis.

Here is a video explaining the Family Visit Visa application process:

Hi, Can u pls advise what shall be the minimum duration period between the two visits, if someone is applying for family visit again, after the family has finish the visit and exited Qatar?

Hi HK, You can try applying after the exit. Earlier there was a minimum 6 months waiting period (Metrash used to show an error). Recent applicants were approved without the waiting period. We are not sure if this is a new policy or system error (there is no official announcement). You will only know once you try.

Dear Doha Guides Team, I am trying to apply visit visa for my “FATHER-IN-LAW” while applying asking applicant RP & Birth certificate. My Question that Applicant Birth certificate is mandator or is there other document like Passport can attach instead of Birth certificate?

Hi Md, You can upload any document that shows the relationship between visitor and applicants. If it is father-in-law, attach your wife’s QID copy and passport page that shows her father’s name. Both should be side by side on one image as you can only upload one file.

Hi Md, Family Visit Visa is single entry. You will need special permit to enter again (within the same period).

Are you looking for a historical country to visit? Jordan could be your next destination. You can see UNESCO Heritage sites and other places mentioned in the Bible there . 

ALSO READ:  Qatar Retirement Pension Plan and Social Insurance Law

Jordan is an Arab country with a culture similar to Qatar and other Arab countries. You have two options for applying for a tourist visa: do it yourself or contact a travel agency .

Jordanian Tourist Visa for Filipinos

Filipinos who hold a Philippine passport and wish to visit Jordan will need to apply for a tourist visa. As with most visa applications, you can prepare the requirements yourself or enlist the help of a Jordanian travel agency, which will process the application in Amman. Similarly, if you have relatives living in Jordan, they can be your hosts and process your application for you.

Requirements for Visa Application

To get started on your application for a tourist visa for Jordan, you need to prepare these documents:

• Visa Application Form

Fill out all the fields in the form. You can do this digitally or handwritten.

Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your intended arrival date to Jordan. There should be some blank pages left for the visa you are applying for. You should also have a colored photocopy in your file. If you have your old passport, you will also present it. 

Provide a one piece ID photo, measuring 2 x 2 and with white background. You will attach this photo in the application form. 

• Proof of residence in Qatar
• National ID card
• Email address for receiving the Jordan visa
• Credit card or debit card for paying the visa fee
• Proof of onward travel ticket
• Proof of accommodation in Jordan (ex. Hotel booking)
• Funds to sustain your trip to Jordan
• Medical Insurance

While this is not mandatory, you should also get one for your peace of mind

Additional Requirements for those with Jordanian Hosts (invitee or spouse)

• Passport copy
• National ID
• Visa Request Letter in Arabic
• Family Book copy (if the host is your spouse)

Procedures in Applying for a Tourist Visa

• To apply for a tourist visa, go to one of the Jordanian tourism offices.
• Once you have all the requirements, submit them personally at the embassy or send them by mail if instructed. 
• Wait for the embassy officials to contact you about the status of your application. If your application is accepted, you can collect your visa at the embassy or have it mailed to you.
• The tourist visa is valid for 30 days.

The processing cost for the visa is USD $61.99, but you can call the Jordanian embassy for updated information. If you’re using a travel agency, you can also ask for their rates .

How to Get to Jordan from Qatar

To get from Qatar to Jordan, you can take a direct flight that connects Doha to Amman, with an average flying time of about three hours. The most popular airlines for this route are Qatar Airways, Flynas, Jazeera Airways, Royal Jordanian, Saudia, Etihad Airways, Kuwait Airways, Flydubai, Air Arabia, and Oman Air, with most flights departing in the morning.

The cost of traveling from Qatar to Jordan varies depending on the airline, with prices ranging from as little as 600 Jordanian dinar to as high as 1,600 Jordanian dinar. Do thorough research online to compare prices and find an airline that doesn’t charge cancellation fees.

Another option is to drive to Dammam, Saudi Arabia. From there you can get a flight going to Jordan.

Jordan – A Historical Country

For many tourists, a visit to Jordan is a bucket list item, and it’s not hard to see why. The country is full of ancient structures, many of which have been designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Jordanians are generally friendly to tourists, with modern Arabic being the primary language used. Additionally, many workers in the tourism sector also speak English. 

Heritage Sites in Jordan

Here are the famous heritage sites that make Jordan a favorite destination:

Petra is known as the city carved from the mountains. During ancient times, it was a trading city that reflects the civilization of the Nabataean Arabs, who carved their city in the mountains. Petra remained a lost city for over five centuries until a Swiss explorer rediscovered it in 1812.

If you’re planning to visit Petra, be sure to bring cash because most shops do not accept credit cards. Before you begin your travel, make sure to exchange your money and look for the best rates available.

A day trip is not enough to see the beauty of Petra and the whole town. You should visit the place early in the morning to travel the Siq passageway and also witness Petra at night.

• Quseir Amra

According to the UNESCO website,Quseir Amra is a desert castle built in the early 8th century. It’s well-preserved, and you can still see the reception hall and hammam with decorative murals when you visit.

This heritage site reflects Islamic art and architecture during its time. It was once part of a large complex, but only a few structures remain today. These include the main hall that leads to three other central halls. When you reach these halls, you’ll see the outdoor frescoes painted long ago.
