In order to simplify the entry procedure for residents' families planning to visit or reside in the country, the Ministry of Interior has revised certain regulations and procedures. In alignment with the state's overarching strategy, this initiative aims to improve the quality of services.

In accordance with the updated procedures, sponsoring families must comply with the salary and accommodation provisions in the employee's electronic work contract. In the public and semi-public sectors, employees must be able to secure family housing through their employer or earn a salary of at least QR 10,000, which is verified by a contract of employment.

A private sector employee must belong to a technical or specialized field (non-labour), with a salary not below QR 10,000, or QR 6,000 along with family housing confirmed in the employment contract.

Furthermore, daughters must be unmarried and children under 25 years of age should not be sponsored by their parents. From their date of entry into the country, they are also required to have health insurance covering the duration of their stay.

Additionally, children within the mandatory education age bracket (6-18 years old) must enroll in licensed schools within the country or provide evidence of their education enrollment outside the country through the educational platform supervised by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education. During the issuance or renewal of a residence permit, this requirement is essential.

For family visits, the sponsoring resident's profession must be in the non-labour sector, with a salary not less than QR 5,000. The relevant authorities should accredit their family housing.

Visitor must be a relative within the permissible degrees of relation to the sponsoring resident, but must have health insurance covering the visitor's stay in Qatar. We have now implemented these updated procedures and regulations.
