Thanks everyone - they have been before and entered Qatar together and it wasn't a problem, but the baby has his dad's name - so that's why I was a bit worried.
I will organise Al Maha for them to make it easier,
They baby too has a Canadian passport so he or she will get the visa as well. Just tell them not to go to the immigration counter at the arrivals together, let your son go first, if they ask him why he is here, he can say he is visiting his parents, they might ask him for your address or contact number.. Then let his girlfriend go with the baby and say she is visiting a family friend..
I have been in Qatar for over 30 years and I have known hundreds of western expats with western passports who have come to Qatar on visa on arrival.. They don't ask you such questions like are you both married to each other or do you have a marriage certificate? They are both Canadians in their own right, two separate individuals and both will get visa on arrival based on their passports.
I think Canadians get visa on arrival. Also they can come as tourists. It is not that difficult.. you can just do 2 day booking in a cheap hotel.. and then try to cancel it.
for a visit visa, the only requirement is their passports and the sponsors details (passport and NOC from the sponsors company)... i dont think there will be a problem... BUT... if they choose to stay beyond the given time of visit... then there will be a problem...
If the PP is canadian no issue and can get visa on arrival. The answer to you query was already given a month ago with marital comments too, what makes you angry and repeat the query again . . . .
An unmarried couple with Canadian passports will have no problem staying here as long as they utilise 5 star hotels.
From my experience.... simply call the 5 star hotel of your choice asking what their policy is on unmarried couples. You will always be transferred to the duty manager who will ask you the nationalities. As soon as you reply with both Canadian he will simply say "No problem".
They will get visa on arrival and it is much cheaper than going thru hotel. If you want to make it all easier for them just pay for Almaha services and they will be served with a different queue and go thru much quicker. Anyway it will not be an issue. If they ask where they are staying just say with family and do not go into detail. Anyway, how can immigration tell if they are not married? You can keep different last names after marriage in most countries.
I don't think so, but let them not mention anything about them being not married. No one's gunna ask whether they're married or not, I think! But if you really wanna check then talk to someone who feels very confident about it. My pick is that they'll be fine :D

Thats really thinking out of the BOX ! :)
My brother came to visit me with his girlfriend and it wasn't a problem, so I don't think they will have any problems

Yes as long as they dont show immigration people that they will stay together.

vivme, I don't think they will get a visa on arrival. Better try for a Tourist Visa with a hotel or you should check the same with your Company PRO.
I would have thought, they can get a visa on arrival at the airport with their passports. Just let them check in through immigration separately..
'' assess '' is the word you wanted to type ...
in your company and asses the situation with somebody "capable" of answering your questions.
Regards!
You can get a visit visa for your son....but I think for his gf and the baby you need to apply for a tourist Visa through a Hotel.
get tourist visa, easier and quick if they only want to stay for christmas. let the travel agency handle it for you. they know what to do.
