If he is planning to come by road, no need to pre-issue the visa for him. They will issue him the visa at Salwa. Just send him a copy of your Qatari ID, as he is first degree relative, and tell him to make sure that he got a copy of His Saudi ID at the time he travels. That's it.

in your case, just ask your brother to go to the qatar embassy there and he can get the necessary paper works done for the road permit. he still would need to obtain a tourist or a visit visa.

its true that they stopped issuing tourist visa through thr airport immigration, unless until you book it through a hotel.

For On-Arrival-Visa check the following requirements:

Nothing is needed from your side.

i have to agree with Qatar going backward.

we've beeen given the run around as well for my in laws to come on tourist visa.

we are now trying to get tehm here on a family visit visa...but you cannot do it at the airport immigration office anymore. you have to go to gharaffa...!! what a mission. we are going there tomorrow mornign.

friends have also been given the run around...but gotten the visa in the end.

as long as you have all your documents and company NOC and earn a good salary...i think you will get it. or so I"M told!! it also depends on the immigration officials mood!

another alternative...is to put your brother in a hotel for one night and get them to arrange the visa for you.

becomes costly!!

good luck for all of us!!!

It is true:

1. Airport Immigration are not issuing Tourist Visa for family members anymore.

2. If you apply for Family Visa through Main Immigration you will not get it because you are bachelor and nowadays they are very strict with brothers and sisters, you will need the manager's approval (Maybe he approves if he sees from the passport that your brother is Saudi resident)..It is worth a try anyway.

You will have two other options:

1. Your brother shall consider arriving by air, no need to come by Qatarairways for visa on arrival, but his profession in the Saudi residency shall be engineer, doctor, system analyst...you know …only some professions are entitled to on-arrival-visa.

2. You can get him the visa through a hotel which will cost you extra money.

Airport Immigration is closed for tourist visa. Qatar is no longer issuing tourist visa.

We also wanted to have someone for Eid, but was given run around between airport immigration and khalifa with extremely rude attitudes of the officers.

Qatar is moving fast – backward for FIFA 
