  2. Hello,
    The family residence visa / entry visa now under review. How long does it take to change “ready to print” criteria. Is it under CID review now ? What does CID review mean?
    Kind Regards

    1. Hi NSA, Once the visa has been processed and visa number is issued, there is a mandatory security clearance by CID (Criminal Evidence and Investigation Department). This is required for all adults (not required for children). Usually it takes less than a week. Nothing to worry.

  3. Hello,
    Can we check the family visa status using the “MOI Qatar Visa Check Online” – as I used for my work entry visa by putting the passport and nationality details ?
    Regards

  4. Hello,
