Today I learned there is no more airport visa, but only business visa and tourist visa. So what to do to bring anyone on a visit?

Tell u wat.... the rule has def. changed no more tourist Visa from Airport...

Get in touch with some hotel authorities to sort ur Visa stuff up... and extension depends on ur tie ups and relation with the Hotel issuing initial visa...

1 of the place I'd suggest is 'Labella Boutique', give it a try!!

Cheers!

Yeah, now you have to apply through Hotel. No other options..

and your mother must stay at hotel while she is in here. She can't live with you.

You must ready with a lot of money, Man..

i just came back from airport immigration office and they informed me that tourist visa on personal sponsorship is suspended, i want to bring my mother for 10 days visit.

i know that i need a letter from my work , this i can manage. do i have to go to immigration central office to apply for her visa or there is other office? what is the duration of visit visa? how long does it take to process the visa? what is the fees for the visit visa ? what is working hours of immigration office?

@biju Abraham - My dear, you are giving outdated information. If you have any doubt please visit Airport immigration and enquire. They have stopped issuing Airport Tourist visa (14 days + 14 days) until further notice.

@Smily - You are confused between Airport tourist visa (14+14 days) and 6 months Visit visa from Gharrafa immigration. You can apply for 6 months visit Visa for your mother directly from Gharrafa immigration office. This visa is not stopped. However, age of your mother must be below 60 years.

Some people are giving wrong informations about tourist visa, they cant stop tourist visa as they are promoting tourisum these days, you can bring your relatives only by tourist visa for 14 day and can be extended for another 14 days, after 28 days you need to exit from Qatar to any nearest Airport and can come back again with another tourist visa, this is allowded only 2 exit mean 28+28+28 maximum approx. three months 54 days only not for 6 months as some one says.

so that means if i have to sponsor my mother through the tourist visa..i cannot do it anymore?

the rule is changed now?since when?

only business visa to be issued frm the airport?

as far as my info goes,tourist visa was valid for 28 days only which was non-extendable.i never knew it could be extended for 6mnths!

pls shed some light on this if anyone has an accurate info.

thanks.

Airport Tourist visa (personal sponsorship) is stopped, and Airport Business visa (Company sponsorship)is still issued. Now only choice to bring someone to Qatar (Other than for business purpose) is Hotel visa.

@mdobrasz: Visa on arrival is available only for certain nationalities, not for all. As far as I am aware, there is no change in that.

airport visa (Example: tourist visa/business visa)

what do you mean by airport visa? airport visa has 2 category whether tourist or business visa.

how come there is no more airport visa wherein there is tourist and business visa. if there is no airport visa then there should be no tourist or business visa.

even if you will go to a hotel, they will give you only a tourist or a business visa.pls review your question

Go to a Hotel, book a room for the Visitor and ask them to do the Visa paperwork.

Of course you will have to pay for the room.
