Medical Examination

By begginer

hi to all QL users. i would like to ask what is the procedure for medical examination for my brother who just recently came here in Qatar.

he is under a personal visit visa (this is what written on the approved visa.)

many told me that for me to able to extend the visa of my brother, he has to go under medical examination and get the results after. from then we can extend the visa of my brother for up to 5 months.

can somebody give me advice.

thank you in advance.

oh i see. getting notifications of result through SMS is good. i never thought that they do medical exam between 4:00PM - 7:00PM. because i usually get back home around 4:00PM. so still i can do medical exam of my brother at this time. this will be flexible timing.

i wonder what is the difference of personal visit visa to family visit visa. coz i get my wife approved as family visit visa.

As mariamme said, You will get SMS notification of your brother's MEDICAL RESULT within 3 working days. I just got my mother in law's notification on sms

.

You need QAR.100/- MEDICAL CHECKUP FEE and 5 riyal more if you have to type the form too. They didn't ask for any picture but for safe side, bring 3 PP size pics of your brother with you

.

REQUIREMENTS:

1- VISIT VISA COPY

2- ORIGINAL PASSPORT

3- QAR. 105/-

4- Go early at 06:30am if you want to be free within 1-2 hours. Otherwise, it will take almost whole day as the men side gets very overcrowded within minutes

5- Timings: 07:00am-02:00pm-------04:00pm - 07:00pm

4- FORM WILL BE FILLED at their counter as the YELLOW forms elsewhere with typist is cancelled. So i had to lose 10 riyals and precious hours for traffic jam & typing at SOUQ ALWAQIF.
