Family Vist Visa

I have a family visit visa all ready for when my family come to Qatar. It is valid for the six months.
I know they need a medical and all that.
I also know I need to pay so much per month to extend it beyond the first month.
What I would like to know is whether I can pay the QAR 200 per month for each month extension on a monthly basis, or whether I have to pay the full amount to six months up front?
I ask as my family will transfer to an RP under my sponsor ship within the first three months of the visit visa. Therefore I do not want to pay for all six months if I don't have to.
Help please.
You pay 200 and renew it every month.
