I applied for family visit visa a week ago for my husband. I just got the visa copy a few days ago. When I printed the visa from the website, it says PERSONAL VISIT VISA. Is it different from FAMILY VISIT VISA? Can I extend the visa issued to me for another 5 months if I want my husband to stay longer here in Doha? Please help... I am really worried..

Sometimes the choice of words used here in the gulf are very confusing...

If u obtained the visa from Immigration office in Ghrafa, yes it can be extended to another five months, when ur husband arrives in Doha, he will have to go through a medical in the Immigration health center, once the medical is cleared his visa will be extended to any number of moths (up to five more months) after paying the visa fees, but if u have obtained this visa from Airport immigration office than this is only for one month
