she doesn't need to exit Qatar. If your company's PRO is professional and CAN HELP, ask him to apply on your behalf. Otherwise don't bother.

if you meet all the expectations of the government. you need to pay Qr 500 extra if you want to convert without your wife exiting the country.

hi,not sure bout conversion frm tourist visa to residency,but if you have a RP,you cud get your spouse visit visa converted to family visa ..but u have to finish formalities like medical(within a month of arrival),and then the fingerprint/cid .for family residency visa..if you meet all the necesssary criteria required..its not too much of a hassle,excpt nowadays the waiting may take time for issuing the initial family visit visa.. for family visit or residency,you would require a letter from ur company,so anyways better to spk to ur ofc person in the concerned dept.
