yes friends...she has an extendable visit visa and 4 months going to finish by 21st of this month...only doubt is whether to extend the same for 5th month and to proceed for further..

it means you will not be using the visit visa anymore but the residence visa when you pay for it. Make sure pay QR500 for the transfer, otherwise your wife's record is still under the visit visa.

Transfer visa from visit to residence will be done in few minutes, then do the necessary, medical and finger printing. If she has extended visit visa and had medical she will not repeat but have to pay again QR100 for the residence visa.

Verify everything with Immigration to make sure you will avoid penalties.

It means...need to extend visit visa for one more month by paying 200 qr and then to pay 500 qr for converting visit visa to family visa...and to proceed for further...

Is it?

JUST PAY 200 QR AND GET A PRINT OUT OF YOUR VISA.

NO NEED TO SEND YOUR WIFE AFTER THAT CONVERT YOUR VISIT VISA INTO FAMILY VISA IT WILL COST 500QR.

MEDICAL CAN BE DONE LATER .

I agree with ahmadql, just go for second option, print her visa from any emigration office it will cost u 200 qr. and then 500 qr. to convert the visit visa to family visa then to medical and to finger print then get her Id from any emigration.

you have 2 options now:

either send your wife back (before 21st) on the return ticket she came on and recall her back on the new residence entry visa.

2nd option is to let her stay here and convert her visa from visit to residence by paying 500qr. You will avoid the hassle and cost of travel tickets. Once converted you will goto medical for tests, then finger prints, then visa stamping on ppt.
