Qatar implements new regulations for residency and visit visas

DOHA: The Ministry of Interior has introduced significant revisions to regulations governing the entry process for residents' families seeking both visitation and residency purposes.

The ministry, in a statement, emphasized that these updates aim to "enhance the quality of services in accordance with the state's overarching strategy."

According to the revised procedures, sponsorship for families is contingent on the provisions outlined in the employee's electronic work contract, particularly regarding salary and accommodation details. In the government and semi-government sectors, employees are required to either secure family housing through their employer or maintain a salary not less than QR10,000, as verified by their employment contract.

Private sector employees must hold professions in technical or specialized fields (non-labour), with a salary not less than QR10,000 or QR6,000 along with family housing, as stipulated in their employment contract.

Furthermore, in cases of family sponsorship, children must not exceed 25 years of age, and daughters must be unmarried. Health insurance covering the entire duration of their stay, effective from their entry into the country, is now mandatory.

For children within the mandatory education age bracket (6-18 years old), enrollment in licensed schools within the country or evidence of enrollment outside Qatar through the educational platform supervised by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education is a prerequisite for the issuance or renewal of the residence permit.

In the context of family visits, the sponsoring resident's profession must belong to non-labour sectors, with a salary not less than QR5,000.

The sponsoring resident should have family housing accredited by the relevant authorities. While there is no specific age restriction for the visitor, health insurance covering the visitor's stay in Qatar is compulsory.

The ministry has confirmed that these updated procedures and regulations are now in effect. To ensure public convenience and ease, the General Directorate of Passports is providing all its services electronically through the Metrash2 app and the Ministry of Interior's official website.

Qatar Residence Family Visa Latest News

14 june 2023 status.

Based on the information available (based on other applicants’ experience):

Family Residence Visa (RP) :

Family RP approvals have been granted to private sector employees earning more than QR 15,000 since April. The bank statements of several applicants had to be updated. The Metrash app allows you to submit applications online. However, follow-up visits are not allowed for employees of the private sector (since May). Those who visited recently were asked to return after a few weeks (or after Eid holidays).

Family Visit Visa

Processing of the Family Visit Visa has now returned to normal . By using the Metrash app, you can submit your application online. A family visit visa typically takes 1-2 weeks to process. Extending a visa beyond 3 months is no longer possible (except in rare cases).

That the above information is not based on any official announcement but on the experience of recent applicants who visited MOI Centres. Individual experiences may vary depending on several factors.

Apply for Family RP Entry Visa

The first step in getting a family residence visa approved is to submit all the necessary documents. Qatar will allow your family to enter with this entry visa. The rest of the formalities will have to be completed after arrival, such as medical tests and fingerprinting.

A Family Visit Visa may also be used to bring the family, which is a simpler process. You can convert a visit visa into a family residence visa by submitting the same documents. An additional QR 500 must be paid to change your visa type without leaving the country.

Qatar Family Visa Applying through MOI Service Centre

The following documents may also be required when applying for a Family Residence Visa directly through MOI Service Centre (in addition to the above):

A completed application form (link) – You can have this typed in Arabic at any typing center.
A copy of your passport (photo page and bio page)
A copy of your Qatari ID card (both sides)
Copy of your employer’s QID/company registration card (may not be required in the public sector).
A copy of the Tenancy Contract attested by the Municipality or a letter from your employer confirming the provision of family accommodations. You do not need a Tenancy Contract for Metrash applications, but you may need it if you apply directly.

Sponsoring a daughter over the age of 18 who is not married is subject to a declaration of non-marriage. Sponsorship by parents is not available to married daughters.

If you have adopted children, a statement of adoption and the reasons for adoption are required. A legal document proving the relationship will be required if you are sponsoring stepchildren.

Requirements to apply for Qatar Family Residence Visa

There are a few main requirements for a foreigner to sponsor his family in the United States.

Sponsors must have a permit to reside in the country.
In Qatar, the sponsor must have a residence permit, the most basic requirement. If you are a sponsor, you must have your Qatar ID card and residence card before applying for a family residence permit.

Professional Requirement

Sponsors should not be laborers, drivers, cleaners, delivery boys, etc. The technician must be a specialized professional. Families can apply for a family residence permit if they are doctors, engineers, managing directors, or high-salary workers. Laborers cannot sponsor their families due to their lower salaries.

Salary Requirement to Apply for a Family Residence Permit

To sponsor his family, the foreign employee must earn QR 10,000. Employees with QR 7000 salaries who are granted family housing by the company may also apply. To ensure the sponsor’s family can live in Qatar, the salary scale is fixed.

MOI is now processing salaries of over 15,000 QR for the person. There may be a need to control the greater number of applications received after the break in visa services in 2020. Those earning between 10,000 and 15,000 may be dealt with later.

Accommodation Requirement

If you earn 10,000 QR or more, you must provide a tenancy contract attested by the municipality. In another case, if you have a salary higher than 7000 QR but less than 10,000, you must present your employment contract if it grants your family a housing allowance.

The Process to Apply for a Qatar Family Visa

Here are the steps you need to follow to apply for a Qatar Family visa. Also, your employer or company may be able to assist you in this process as part of their employment policy.

The Steps to Apply for Qatar Family Visa Residence Permit

Apply directly or online for the family entry visa

You must submit all required documents in order to obtain a family residence visa. To allow your family to enter Qatar, you will receive a one-month visa. Other steps, such as medical tests and fingerprinting, are done after arrival. The family can also get a visit visa through another simple process. The fee for changing the visa without leaving the country is 500 QAR. The process requires some private employees to submit a six-month bank statement.

Qatar Family Visa Application Online Process

By allowing applicants to submit their documents via the Metrash2 mobile app, Qatar MOI has simplified the application process. The comprehensive Metrash2 User Guide can be found here if you haven’t registered for Metrash2.

The applicant’s labor contract must be uploaded online and linked to the Metrash system in order for the visa option to be active. Most expats have already been provided with this information by their employers. Please contact your employer if you receive a Metrash notification.

To apply for a Family Residence Visa using the Metrash2 app, follow these steps:

Step 1: Log into Metrash and click on the “ Visa ” option.

Step 2: On the next page, click the “ Issue Visa “ button.

Step 3: On the next screen, click the “ Family Visit “ option.

Step 4: Next, click “ Family Resident Application “.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

By default, this is selected as Family Visa Application (for applicants seeking a Family Visit Visa). You must change this selection for Residence Visas as shown below:

Step 5: Select “ New Application ” (bottom right of the screen).

Step 6: Fill out the form carefully with the details of your family member. Click on “ Validate ”.

Step 7: On the next screen, verify the details. Select “I agree with the validity of the data”. Click “ Next ”.

If you make a mistake, you can click “Back” and correct it. Check the data before confirming, as any mistake could prevent the visitor from entering.

Step 8: On the next screen, placeholders will be available for uploading documents. Documents need to be scanned or photographed, and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

The scans or photos of documents must be clear and readable.
Metrash accepts only JPG images. PDF files are not accepted.
For documents with multiple pages, combine the pages into one JPG file (side by side).
The merged JPG document should not exceed 500 KB in size. Documents larger than 500 KB cannot be uploaded and must be resized.
Inform your bank that the bank statement is for the RP application, so they will print one or two pages with minimal information.

The first screen requires Education Certificate, Bank Salary Statement, and Other Documents. Please upload the NOC and any translations (if any) to “Other Documents”.

On the second screen, a Marriage/Birth Certificate and a Passport (front and back) are required. After uploading all documents, click “Next”.

Step 9: The next screen will ask you to confirm your submission by clicking “Yes ”.

Step 10: After this step, your application number will be generated. To check the status, click on the arrow sign on the right. Once submitted, it will be marked as “Under Process”. Later, it will become “Under Review”.

On this page, you will find the reason for the rejection of the application.

Make the Visa Payment

You can pay the visa fees (QR 200) online via Metrash2 or in person at the Immigration Office if your visa is approved.

Qatar Family Visa Application Offline Process

The offline application requires a completed application form and the other documents mentioned above. If you need help filling out this application form, you can also get it filled out at a typing center.

To obtain the required documents, go to the Immigration Department in Al Gharafa (Location Map). The best time to go is between 6 and 9 in the morning.

Pick up a token number at reception, and wait for your turn. When your number appears on the screen, go to the counter and submit your documents. After the documents are reviewed, they will accept the application, and you will be notified by email within a few days.

If your visa is approved, you can pay the visa fees (QR 200) online via Metrash2 or at the Immigration Office. For payment, you will need a debit or credit card.

“Null” Status on Family Visa Application Receipt

The acknowledgment receipt our readers received after application submission contains only “null” in most fields, which has concerned some of our readers. Note that this is normal for all applicants. The purpose of this document is only to acknowledge receipt of your application. The system will have your application details.

Qatar Family Visa Application Status (Under Process & Under Review)

Applicants are often confused when their family visa application status changes. Each application goes through “Under Process” and “Under Review” statuses multiple times before being approved .

Here is an example of how visa applications progress and what each stage means:

A status of Under Review to Under Process means the application is almost approved.

Only the Captain (superior officers) at Gharaffa Immigration can convert an application from Under Review to Under Process. If your application is in Stage 1, the Captain can move it directly to Stage 4.

Children under 15 years of age will be directly approved after the third stage (since they do not need CID clearance). The visa can only be printed once the mother’s application has been approved.

You do not need to take any action if your application status changes from Under Process to Under Review. When a change in status occurs, the application is usually approved within a few days.

There may be differences between the status we see on our Metrash and the status on the other company’s system.

What to do if Family Visa Application is Rejected?

Despite meeting all requirements, your visa application may be rejected. The Gharaffa Immigration Office can schedule a meeting with your visa approval committee.

The original receipt for the visa application will be kept by them, so make a copy of it. A copy of the meeting schedule will be given to you.

If your submitted documents do not pose any serious problems, the visa approval committee will schedule an appointment for you.

You will be asked simple questions during the meeting, such as your qualifications and profession. Be sure to keep copies of all your documents, including your education certificates, in case they ask for them. You will get approval in two days if everything goes well.

You can check your Qatar visa status

Family Members Enter Qatar

The Family Entry Visa allows family members to travel to Qatar once it has been approved. Visa holders usually can enter within 180 days of receiving their visas. On the visa, you will find the last entry date.

A 90-day validity period applies to entry visas, during which medical tests and fingerprinting are required.

The family members can pay the visa fee if they are currently in Qatar on a visit visa.

Undergo the Medical Test

The visa holder must first undergo a medical examination before applying for a Residence Permit (RP). The purpose of this test is to prevent the spread of infectious diseases from newcomers to the population and protect the health of the population.

An official visa medical exam is conducted by the Qatar Medical Commission. Medical Commission Department is located on Al Muntazah Street, off E-Ring Road (Google map). Sunday through Thursday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, are the working hours of the Medical Commission.

You will receive a blood test to determine whether you have HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. You will also receive a physician’s check-up and chest X-ray to determine whether you have tuberculosis.

Documents Required

The following documents are required for the medical test:

Family member’s original passport
Passport copy
copy of the residence visa with the sponsor’s mobile number written on it
Sponsor’s Qatar ID copy
Debit/Credit card for payment of fees

The fee for Medical Test is QR 100 per person .

A visit visa can be converted into a residence visa if you inform the officer of this conversion. There is a possibility that they will not do the test again if you have already undergone the medical for a visit visa extension.

Medical examination results are electronically transmitted to the Ministry of Interior’s residency system. The Metrash mobile app or SMS will notify you of the results two or three days after the medical test. The results can also be viewed online at the MoPH website .

Medical Tests For Children

The average child under the age of 15 doesn’t have to go for a medical test. The sponsor’s Metrash app should show whether the “Issue Residence Permit” option is available for the child when they arrive in Qatar.

If the option does not appear, you must pay QR 100 at the Medical Commission (show your passport and visa copy). The system will be updated with the new status.

Undergo Fingerprints Process

The Ministry of Interior requires adults to register their fingerprints digitally after completing the medical test.

Nowadays, fingerprints can be taken at any Ministry of Interior (MOI) Service Center (except Gharaffa).

The following documents are required for fingerprinting:

Fingerprint Application Form. You can fill out this form at a typing center*. Some MOI Service Centers may not require this
Medical Receipt
Residence Visa copy

The Metrash2 app or SMS will notify you once the fingerprinting process has been completed.

Apply for Qatar ID Card

The final step is to apply for a Qatar ID (Residence Permit Card). This can be done at MOI Service Centers or online through Metrash.

Applying for Qatar ID at MOI Service Centre

The Ministry of Interior (MOI) Service Centers are available to assist you if you are applying directly for Qatar ID.

MOI Service Center requires the following documents to apply for Qatar ID:

Application form completed (download link). This can be filled out at a typing center. Family member’s original passport
Sponsor’s Qatar ID
Passport-size photo of a family member (35 x 45 mm with blue background)

The family member will have to sign the form near the photo when MOI officials ask for their signature. You can write their names instead of their signatures if they are children.

MOI Service Centers require applicants to bring a completed application form, while some will give them a paper to sign.

Qatar ID Fee

The Residence Permit costs QR 500 for the first year.

Within 5 minutes of paying the fee, the Qatar ID will be printed.

Applying for Qatar ID through Metrash

If you do not wish to visit MOI Service Centre, you must select this option. Follow these steps once you receive a message that your fingerprint has been approved:

Open the Metrash2 app
Go to the “ Residency ” section
Select “ Issue Residence Permit ”
Enter the required details
Upload a passport-size photo (blue background)
Take a picture of your family member’s signature and upload it. Write your child’s name on a piece of paper and upload it as their signature.
Pay QR 500 plus QR 20 for QPost delivery

Your QID delivery can be tracked on the MOI website. Tracking can be done using the sponsor’s QID number.

Qatar Family Visa Fees

A breakdown of every cost associated with a family residence visa can be found below:

Document attestation and typing center fees (if necessary) will be extra. If you transfer a visit visa to a residence visa without leaving the country, you will be charged QR 500 per person.

Registering For National Address

Make sure the new QID holder’s National Address is registered once the QID is printed. This can be done at any MOI service center or through the Metrash app.

Children’s National Addresses can be registered via their sponsor’s Metrash app. Her wife must get a SIM card with a QID and register a National Address before she can register on Metrash.

Note that Qatar IDs cannot be renewed without registering National Addresses.

Rules For Sponsoring Adult Children

When applying for a visa, male children aged 25 and over cannot be on either parent’s visa. Daughters are not restricted by age as long as they are not married.

A child with an existing QID who is over the legal age may be granted a Residence Permit under their parents’ sponsorship for one more year to seek employment.

Work Permit for Spouse and Children

Dependent spouses and children older than 18 who wish to work require a special work permit. Also, this work permit can be applied for through the Metrash app.
