Canadian Wife and Kids Visiting, Do they need a visa?

Suhail Shaker
By Suhail Shaker

I am a resident of Qatar.
My wife and kids will be visiting me for 10 days by the end of the month.
I do not plan to start their residency paperwork during this visit, I intend to do it when they come for good in September.
Will they need a visa or any letters from me or my employer to enter the country on their visit? knowing that Canadians do not need a visa to enter Qatar.

Appreciating your help.

No papers required,Canadians can obtain ''On arrival visa'',Your family only should know your residence address as the immigration officer would ask this on some occations.Would recomend to arrange Al-Maha service at the airport for a smooth transition if they are coming for the first time as they can avoid all the queues & get to arrivals in no time.
