Anyone know if there's a way to obtain a Qatari Visa Approval for a female Algerian. The only issue is that she's my wife's sister in law and doesn't have the same surname as my wife or myself. What are the options? suggestions? to obtain a visa for her. this lady is a dentist back home and is only coming for a visit!

HI bostoncreme, I will make a normal file and give it a try at the immigration office, I doubt they will accept.

Hi hs89 it's different for some nationalities, she has an Algerian passport, she won't even be allowed to check in in ALgiers, without clear proof of visa. I presume your family is British.

Hi londonalgiers, your sister in law will be able to obtain a tourist visa (which will allow her to stay for up to 28 days) upon arrival at the airport. She will have to pay a small fee for it at immigration. I have often had family with different surnames visit from the UK and haven't ever come across any problems. Good luck and I hope your sister in law enjoys her stay!

any travel agency can provide you with tourist visa for 700QR or Gulf Paradise Hotel and Qairawan Hotel and she don't have to stay in the hotel.

HI Atif, how can she obtain the tourist visa (she only needs 10 days) she's not looking for work, just visiting. I remember that at the immigration office when i got my brother in law a visa, i was told to prove my relationship to him, obviously he had the same last name as my wife, but with this lady, there's no way of proving anything.

No problem ask her to come on tourist visa which is 28 days.

If she wants to look for job or business she can.
