These below steps I have copied from some other post.

Here's the complete process:

1. Go to Medical commission with the entry visa and get the medical done. The receipt will say "Visa Extension". You will be charged QAR 100 (If your family is on visit visa and want RP) Normaly for kids they dont do medical they will just charg 100 QAR per kids and add in report as fit.

2. After 2 days check on medical commission URL. The result should say fit: http://www.sch.gov.qa/mcr/En/mcresults.jsp?CSRT=16143102073400656878 .

3. Go to immigration office with the application form and all the required documents, garrafa office gate number 3. Submit all the documents. Better go between 6 am to 9 am. After 4 days, check on MOI website for the status. When they will accept you application the status will appear as Application is Under review if application is accepted the status will be Under Process without expiry date. Then status will be changed Under Process with expiry date and then Ready to Print. Sometime this whole process takes 2 to 3 working days and sometime 10 to 15 days in my case it was 13 days.

If it says ready to print, then go to Immigration office garrafa again at gate 1 with the document submission receipt.

5. You will be charged QAR 200 for converting visit visa to residence visa and QAR 500 for getting visa without exiting Qatar. Take the paper visa. If you don’t want that your family should not exit Qatar then ask them specifically that I don’t want my family exit.

6. Again go to Medical commission and show the paper visa and tell them you need to do medical to convert to residence visa. No need to take your family with you as no medical checkup will be done again. You will be charged QAR 100 again and the receipt will say purpose as 'Residence / Work visa'. Go to counter 64 where the officer will update his system so that the medical data will be sent to finger print office. If last medical happened before 6 month then they will do complete medical again otherwise no medical just data entry.

7. Go to finger print office at Mesaimer with all your receipts and get the finger prints done. Ensure to collect the finger print receipt

8. After 4 days again go to Immigration office at Garrafa at gate number 2 with all the documents and passport size photograph. If you forgot to get the finger print receipt then you will be directed to fill an application form. There is a counter available in gate 2 where the person was very helpful in filling out the form in arabic and giving all instructions. Also, make sure to have a blood group report with you of your wife from any medical clinic/hospital in Qatar. You will be charged QAR 500 for one year RP. Again Eyes scan will be required hence make sure to take your wife along with you. Be at the office between 6 am to 9 am or 3 pm to 4 pm.
