As far as I know and from my experience in our company, a husband cannot get his wife a residency unless after 6 months of stay in Doha, since one of the required documents fo the Immigration is a 6-month bank statement in order to get a Family Residence, or 3-month statement for a Family Visit Visa (valid for 6 months only).

In other terms, unless you are sponsored by a company you cannot get a residence untill after six months from your husband's. the toursit visa, suggested supra (going to Dubai every 2 months) would be the only solution...

Your tourist visa will last a month, then you can extend it for another month if you go to the immigration department (really easy process).

Having said that, my company has already taken almost a month to sort my RP out they are doing it at their own leisure it seems, and I still have to do the finger printing part then apply for the RP once that is done.

If it takes over 2 months (highly unlikely) you could always make a cheap "visa run" to dubai, fly back the same day, then you have another month, repeat as necesary!

Also its Ramadan coming up on the 1st of August I believe, nothing gets done around that time so they will surely get it all done before that date.

Ok, I see. I am just trying to estimate all the process time line. I am thinking to join with my son with Tourist Visa, but afraid that my tourist visa will expire before my husband gets his residence then I guess I have to leave the country and come back again...

But the RP must be applied by PRO of the company

After the meidcal test, next step is finger printing which can be done within 2 days after the medical test done if the result is positive ... And after finger printing within 2,3 days you can apply for RP.
