Do you know the procedure for travelling to Qatar with a new born baby?

You are an expatriate and your family has valid residence permit. Your wife recently delivered a new born baby in your home country and wants to join you back in Qatar soon.

The baby, since he/she was born in their own native country, will need new documents to enter Qatar. Do you know what rules to follow in order to do this? Here are some points to keep in mind while travelling to Qatar with a newborn baby.  

 

Keep in mind…

1. Qatar provides free visa on arrival for new born babies provided they arrive in the country within six months of their birth.

2. The baby should have a valid passport issued by their home country and the mother should be on her husband’s sponsorship. The father and mother should have valid residence permits. 

3. Authorities at the port of entry will need to see the baby’s original birth certificate.

4. The on-arrival visa for the newborn baby will be free of cost.

5. Visa is provided to the newborn baby on arrival at the entry border along with their parents.

no need to go medical commission for babies.

Also birth certificate should be attested from Qatar MOFA. I just attested copy of my baby birth certificate from Indian embassy Qatar and then from MOI service center in C-Ring road near gulf cinema.
