Tourist Visa Is Totally Different from Visit Visa. Intially Vist Visa Is Valid For A Month And Once You Cleared The Medical It Is Extended For 5 More Months And The Extension Fee Is 200 QAR Per Month. It Is Not Compulsory To Extend It For 5 Months, You Can Extend It For A Month And Then Get It Extended For 4 Months It Is Up To You.

Tourist Visa Is Valid For 14 Days And Further

Extended For 14 Days If I Am Not Wrong. Visit Visa Is Also Called Family Visa.

for family visat visa approval will be for 1 month and after medical the immigration will give another 5 months so total will be 6 months....

How true that tourist visa is differ from visit visa? they say it cant be renewed?

And what after 5+5 months with family visas??

visit and family visit visa are different, visit visa can not be extended but family visa can extend up to 5 months, for visit visa perosn dont required medical here in qatar but family visit visa required medical and then immigration provide another 5 months.

if u r on tourist visa or on visit visa or on business visa you dont required to go for medical, medical only required when u r going to get resident permit or working visa or family visit visa (family visa valid for 6 months) then only you need to go for medical. toursit and visit visa can not be extended. it can only re-issue after person will exit.

hope this information will be enough for everyone...

Thank you!

family visit visa is one month, extendable up to 5 months..

thats very long! visit visa is only around 30 days? is that right? :)

try posting in this in the Filex group, im sure lots of them know a thing or two about visa issues.

there's a lot of difference from family and tourist/visit visa? hope somebody in this group could possibly extend their hands to share others what they knew about this.

well, i don't know how it works with tourist visa, not sure if same as family visit visa.. my daughter, she came back here from vacation on a tourist visa, then when she arrived here, we just applied for a family visit visa for her..

yup. tourist/visit visa same ryt?

"from the agency?" was it a tourist visa?

my brother was the one who got my visit visa from the agency ... was it the same process for pilipina?

in our case, since we always get visit visa in Al Khor, that's where we go for the medical exam too.. it costs 100 QR.. what we do, we go to the Al Khor immigration department first to have our application form filled-up (typewritten), then we proceed to the medical commission which is near the immigration office, hand them the application form, pay 100 QR and proceed to do the blood test and then the x-ray..

Where have you obtained your current visit visa...

where's that medical commision located and how much will it cost me? is it available also for pilipina or only to other nationality? what shld i do first? im new here and n idea..

you just go to the Medical commission (with complete forms of course) for the medical exam, usually takes few days for the result to come out,. if all is clear, proceed to the immigration dept for the visa extension..
