Does anyone know visa process for Russian people to come to Doha for a visit? Can visa be granted on arrival or do they have to go to the Qatari embassy? Anyone who ever dealt with it please help!!!

As far as I know from 2006 Russians require a visa. For your relatives you can apply for a visa, submitting all required documents- prove of relationship, letter from the employeer. Visa handling time is only 2 days. Results can be seen and printed on Hukoomi- online government system.

Tourist visa is issued for 1 month and can be extended later. However for visitors staying more than 1 month medical check up is required.

thank you all for your answers. I have been to ministry of interrior and they told me I need to apply for a tourist visa for them at the airport. At the airport they told me i can't do that anymore and sent me back. I know, welcome to Doha and all that. But there must be a way to bring your relatives in for a couple of weeks!!!

On arrival visa is available for Professionals, and not applicable to Western nationalities, they can come on arrival. Pls make sure with Qatar Embassy in your country before leave. Anyway you can bring your spouse on tourist visa with simple procedure just attach your and your spouse passport copies and your valid ID card you will get visa for 14 days and can extend for another 14 days with Qr. 50/- only. This application should be submitted in Airport emigration office with a confirmation Qatar Airways to and fro ticket. Same day you will get visa online.

Hi there,

Some nationalities are issued visit visa upon arrival and it's usually good for 30 days. You should call the Qatar Embassy in Russia and ask before you come just to make sure. I see you are planning on finding a job in Qatar as a teacher, why don't you have your husband apply for a resident visa for you this way you don't have to leave the country once the month is up and it will buy you time to find a job. Finding a teaching job might not be easy right now since schools have started almost three months ago. The hiring usually starts February-April and the first couple of weeks right after schools start. Please don't think I'm trying to discourage you just telling you what I think. Hope this will help you. Good luck.
