My in-laws both in their 80's came to Doha in March to visit. I don't know if it makes a difference but they are both British and on British passports, all we did was arrange and pay the meet and greet people at the airport who did the visa's for us. My in-laws had no problem and stayed with us for their visit.

Go to Immigration department and ask someone there. I have heard that there are people who can get you a visa for over 60 parents but he will charge you for his service. Please dont send me any PM that's all I have heard.

Got to the Hukoomi website. Once there select the tourist visa section then select a joint tourist visa and fill in the form for each parent, you will need their passport details. I did this last year for my parents, both over 70. Be careful though as you only get 1 month from the date of creation so make sure it covers them for the whole stay, you cannot choose a start date. They give you an instant answer and it only cost 100 riyals per visa.

Good luck :)

No. There are no visas available easily for persons above 60 years of age. The hotel-sponsored visa is the only type. You need not approach a five-star hotel for this. There are several cheaper hotels in Doha which can sponsor such a visa. The cost would be around US$100 to US$150 per day, depending upon how much the hotel charges for one room per night.
