tourist visa can be changed to family visit visa without exiting the country. I got it done for my family just a month ago. Charges are QAR 500 per visa for transfer other than the normal visa charges.

If ur sibling comes on a tourist visa he can not be looking for a job. If he comes on a visit visa after a month you may apply for an extension for another 5 months. If he is lucky to get a job by then he will require to transfer to company visa (RP) If not he will have to exit and come back only after 3 months.

I already applied for the tourist visa after I learned that there is no salary requirement for visit visa. Then, wat is the best thing to do if after a month my sibling can not find a job?
