The baby needs a visa, believe me! i just returned from my country where my baby was born. Before living for my country to bring my wife and newborn I went to Airport passports office and they sent me to main passports office in Garafah.
Qatar law states that if the baby is no older than 2 years, doesn't need a visa, BUT that's only valid for the people at Garafah passports, as for the airport immigration personal they don't care about the law and do ask for a visa if the baby is older than 3 months!!
Don't ask me why, well, an officer with one or two stars at garafah told me it was because airport personal are always messing with them !? are we talking about two governments here?? anyway, you have to get a visa for the baby, where I don't know...I tried getting it (for this specific situation) and nobody accepted my application!
I do believe that you should get him a visit visa first which you will later change to Iqamah.
