You all can apply for a visit visa which lasts for 1 month. Once in, under your company’s sponsorship you will start the Residency permit process. As your wife and daughter will have no sponsorship then, they will need to renew it. This is normally called a visa run. My wife and child did this through my company without the need to leave, but check first.
Normally you are not allowed to enter Qatar without a return ticket to the country of origin, on a visit visa. If during your residency process it is clear you are not going to get it with one month, It normally takes about 3 weeks, book a return ticket in case. With Qatar Airways you can pay a little more for added flexibility for arrangement changes. I booked a ticket for my wife this way and we cancelled it when we found out we didn’t need it. We got a full refund. Once you start the process of the residency for your wife and child it doesn’t matter if their visa’s run out.
One thing that is worth pointing out though, is if you need to extend the visit visa your child, even if they are under two, requires this also. My daughter who is eighteen month had to pay 5000 Riyals as her visa expired for a month. The government changed the rules two months after we arrived. So we had to pay this at the airport when we tried to leave for a holiday or she couldn’t travel.
