What to do when family visit visa expires after extension?
By prima_donna •
After spending the whole morning like a ping pong ball at the Immigration office to obtain a family visit visa for my aunt, I managed to secure 1-mth visa for her extendable to a max of 3 months.
Question is, once the 3 months are up and she needs to stay for just one more month, can I renew her family visit visa straight away? Otherwise, would it be possible for her to fly out of the country for one day and come back to Qatar and get a tourist visa at the airport instead?
Thanks Naeem! That was the info I was looking for!
I guess I shall try my luck at Immigration to get the 14 days extension when her visit visa expires. Otherwise we'll get her to fly out of Doha and get a tourist visa instead. Hope that'll work out.
Hello friend,even am on sponsorship of my aunty and got extend for more 5months,so don't worry.Just go and extend.
Since she is your Aunt and not directly related to your family its rather difficult to get extended her visa but you can request for 14 more days for that you have to produce Booked ticket copy which appears to be that she is travelling on so and so date on that basis they may give further extention of two weeks maximum...but while her stay in u can not obtain another visit visa for that she has to exit the country if you can able to obtain a tourist visa by Hotel but its difficult either. Coz during her exit and re entry if she didn't get new visit visa immigration law does not allow her to get into the country... I suggest that do not take that risk...regards,

please let me know how to get the family visit visa? where i have to apply ?what are d documents reqd ? its validity and other requirements if any
Thanks
Thanks for the replies!
Since the visa is for my aunt, a non-immediate family member (unlike father, mother, siblings), I was told by Immigration it's only extendable to 3 mths max. If it's for close family member, then yes I can extend it until 6 mths.
But what happens when even after maximum extension, I still need her to stay for one more month? Do you mean I can just apply for a new visit visa for her without her having to leave the country?
u can extend the visit visa easily and also get the tourist visa to fly out of country just one day
it can be extend,but I advise to get confirm booking,if not then you have to pay each day 200 qrs.to apply for other visa ,visa holder have to go outside qtr,than only compu will accept visa application and consider visa procesing time also.
you can extend family visit visa up to 6months (total stay)
