regarding tourist visa for my grandpa

By vishnukumaar

my grandpa is 71 years old. He is brisk and active.I want him to come to Doha for two weeks only in the next month school vaccation and stay with us..My parents tried in the month of May but due to heavy rush at garaffa the captain simply refused.

Shoud we submit the no objection certificate?

What are the requisites for applying the visa ?

Now-a-days I find many residents of qatar bring their grandparents from India.Last mth my friends grandparents had also come from Inia to qatar.I came to know that they just got the visa at the airport immigration office. I do not know as how they arranged for the visa.
Whom s'd we meet and what procedures to follow?

Please help.Thanks in advance.
