Family visit visa - can it be extended longer than 6 months?
Hello all,
Just a quick question about visas again. I will be coming to Qatar very soon to visit my husband and will get a family visit visa. I have read on here and other websites that this lasts for a maximum of 6 months.
However, there is a chance I may stay slightly longer than that, but only an extra 3 or 4 weeks (so no longer than 7 months altogether).
Does anyone know if the family visit visa can be extended slightly longer than 6 months or is it very strict that you must exit exactly after 6 months? In which case, would I need to exit and go to UAE and come back for the last few weeks on a month long visa?
Thank you for any advice!

Dear Ma'am,
Usually people tell that the Family Permanent Visa application is under process and they will be transferring from Family Visit Visa to Family Permanent visa very shortly.

Thanks for that bit of advice acchabaccha. I will make sure I do that as well! So glad I found this helpful Forum - thanks everyone!
I would suggest you carry your confirmed airline booking when meeting the Captain showing your exit date before the end of the 7th month stay. That would make it easier for you to get the extension. .

Hi,
Thank you very much for your helpful replies, muad-db, Molten Metal and Sheen Services. That's very good news and very really helpful to know! Thank you.
Dear Ma'am,
You will be coming on one month Family Visit Visa after you pass your medical test then it can be online extended for next five months.
The visa can also be extended beyond six months. just before two weeks of expiry of the sixth month you should manually apply for two month extension at Gharafa Immigration centre building 1, floor 1. Usually the they accept on Monday & Thursday at around 7:30 AM.
