My understanding is that a family visit visa can be valid for up to SIX months. You have to keep renewing it, but after six months the person needs to exit the country to start the process again. It costs 200 QAR for each month that you extend the visa by, i.e. if you extend it by 2 months it'll cost you 400 QAR.
Go to the immigration department (near Landmark shopping centre), get an application form typed up in arabic (cost 5 QAR), present this form with the person's passport, and voila!
