you can re-apply for visit visa 3 months after exiting qatar. your visit visa after 6 months can be extended maximum to 7.5 months like what i did to my son but you have to apply for visa extension ( there is a form you have to fill up)by submiting the visa extension form in building no. 1 second floor. first extension is 1 month then re-apply again with same procedure and the will give you another 15 days.

What you need to prepare:

• Approval letter from your company immigration with regards to sponsoring visit visa.

• Copy of your passport

• Copy of the passport of the one you're about to visit

Salary Statement in English for Embassy purposes

Steps on how to process your application:

• Go to Immigration Department in Gharafa

• Go to the Typing Section and state that you would like to visit someone (present to him the letter from your company immigration, copy of your passport & copy of the passport of the one you're about to visit) pay him 10Qrs.

• Go to Building 4 for the processing and issuance of visa.

• If you will visit someone in direct connection with you (i.e. father, mother, brother, sister, wife, son, daughter) they will issue directly the visa from building 4. But if you will visit someone which is not in direct connection with you (i.e. Auntie, Uncle, Cousin, Friend) you will need approval from the Director from Building 1, 1st floor.

• The timings in the Immigration Department is from 6:30am - 1:00pm & 3:00pm - 7:00pm; For the visa you need to pay 200Qrs. and check the availability of the Visa thru www.moi.gov.qa/site/... after 3hours of issuance of receipt.

For Filipino Citizens:

You need to prepare Affidavit of Support that you can get from the Philippine Embassy Doha. You just have to present to them your salary statement, copy of your passport & the one that you're about to visit, this will take you 1day for the processing of Affidavit of Support. This Affidavit of Support will be presented by the one you're about to visit in the Immigration Section at the NAIA.

What does the one that you're about to visit need to do?

• He/She needs to send to Qatar Embassy to the Philippines thru DHL these things:

• Original Passport,

• 2pcs. 2x2 ID picture with white background,

• Printed visa copy and wait for 5 working days till they send you back your passport with visa sticker.

Coming to Doha:

He/She needs to bring His/Her Passport, Affidavit of Support, Copy of the sponsor passport, ticket & money.
