Step 2: Obtaining the passport
Collect the required forms from your Embassy. There are three forms to be filled (passport application, application to register birth and birth certificate application). If you don’t want the hassle of filling the form yourself, there are several “freelancers” outside the embassy who’d do it for you. All you need to do is give them the proper details and a nominal 'fee' (20 QAR or thereabouts). You would need three/four specified passport-size photographs of the baby. Also carry copies of the application forms.
Other documents that may be needed are Qatar birth certificate of the child and Copies of parents’ passports.
Step 3: Stamping the RP/VISA
No forms to be filled here. Just submit the requisite documents and pay the visa fee at one the immigration service centres.
Documents needed-
- Child’s passport + copy
- Sponsor’s original ID
- Copy of Qatari birth certificate
- Copies of parent’s IDs and RP pages
- Copy of marriage certificate
You can get the full details of the process from the Hukoomi website. You can apply online.
Your sponsoring company can help you with the visa application. You have to complete the entire process within two months of birth.
If the mother delivered her baby in her home country and wants to come back to Qatar, the baby can come to Qatar on a Visit Visa. But within two months parents need to apply for the residence permit for the newborn.
This visa is issued free of charge with fine of QR 10 per day of delay, after expiring the specified period which is two months outside the country and three months inside country.
