visa on arival

I have accepted a position in Doha and would appreciate some advice on visa regulations.

The company have informed me that I will need to be in Doha for one month before a family visa can be obtained.

My question is whether my family will be able to accompany me to Doha and get visa on arival, if so how long are they valid for.
If visas need to be renewed are visa runs to UAE still permitted.

Thanks

if they are british as you are, they can obtain a visa on arrival, which is initially valid for 1 month, and then extendable for another month without exiting qatar. If by that time your RP is still not issued, i.e. you still cannot apply for their Family visa, they can exit even to Bahrain for few hours and come back again on visa on arrival.

I think they don't need to go out. Your sponcer will help you to extend VISA for your family. If they go out to Dubai, they still can get another VISA on arrival another month. I don't think you can go along with them.

Check with your Company. They will tell you everything what to do and how to do.
