Tourist/Visit Visa convert to RP
Hi People,
I am sure this has been posted on QL before but I couldnt find anything on the subject!
I currently hold a RP and have recieved my wifes resident visa through my company, but she is here on a tourist visa.
Does anyone know the process in converting her visas over without her exiting/entering the country? I have heard you need permission from the immigration department?
Thanks
Kind Regards
iF SHE IS ON ARRIVAL VISA IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CONVERT. IF SHE IS IN VISIT VISA THEN IT IS POSSIBLE. FOR MORE DETAILS PLZ SEE THE BELOW LINK. https://www.qatarliving.com/visas-permits/posts/how-convert-family-visit-visa-residence-visa

hey..the way i did it was the following:My wife entered the country with a tourist visa, once she was hereThe company i work for made a visit visa for her. That visit visa can be converted into an RP.It took a maximum of 2 weeks the whole process Tourist-Visit-RP ( with the blood test and X-ray, fingerprint thing included )- i paid 500.-QRit was easier than i thought really...good luck with that one!
hi
in my knowledge,
please go to any immigration office and show your RP approvel paper togather with their passport and pay 500QR, they will stamp a new sticker for three month stay,, in between you family have to do medical and finger print,, then do RP stamping in passport get ID as well
Thanks and Best Regards
HI,
i my knowledge,
if you got RP approvel for you family, just go to the any imigration office
and show them the RP approval copy and passport of you family they will
do a stamp in passport stating new RP approvel number,that will valid for 3month,they charge 500/passport. in between your family have to do medical and finger print,, then you can stamp RP and Get ID
Thanks
Apologies I should have been more clear.
She is here on a tourist visa. The only thing I have recieved now from my company is a letter with her details mentioning entry visa and a barcode. (it was the same one I recieved before I came to Qatar which they scan at immigration).
she is yet to do her medical and fingerprinting apparently I have to get that done after this.
I hope that makes it clear?
The information you posted is saying that your wife's visit visa is already converted to resident visa by your company. Then there is no need for you to convert her tourist visa because based on your info it is already converted. Comparing resident Visa and RP, Resident Visa is the sticker pasted on our passport and RP are the Qatar ID issued to a person possesing the qualifications to hold as such and none of the disqualifications.
Your wife therefore is now waiting for her RP if she already finished her medical and finger printing.
