Hi, I have been coming to Doha from Saudi Arabia on Visa-On-Arrival as my profession qualifies for it (Operations Analyst). This time, I would like to visit Doha with my wife and son. They have their residence permit here in Saudi but as my dependents. We will be visiting Doha together. Will they be eligible to visa-on-arrival as well since I am eligible?
Any Ideas how can i extend GCC Visa on Arrival, for another 3 months without exiting the country?

@qatar living: Please provide the list in an ascending order. So that people can quickly identify their profession without rolling eye on the whole list ....
Both are same*
I am an Indian with a Bahrain RP valid for more than 6 months. My profession is Salesman, however as per the list Sales Representative is allowed for visa on arrival. I guess both but Arabic translation for both are different, so confused.
Am I eligible for visa on arrival?
