Hope to get some advice here. Do I have to pay for the medical card? How about for my wife if she is under my sponsorship?

In the Marhaba book it says you can bring a copy of your stamped passport/id card so I imagine you can do it without id card. You must have the residence permit taken care of though. Can not get a med. card without residence permit. You can also apply for card at the main post office. I guess someone else could handle for you, not sure about that one.

You have to pay 100 QR for one year for each of you. Initially you must do it in person at your local medical clinic or at Rumaillah Hospital. Take 2 passport size pictures, a copy of your residence permit, passport, qatar id card. May not need all three of those but you might as well take all so you only have to make one trip. After that you can renew online and it's surprisingly easy. All this is in Marhaba if you need more info. Good luck.
