Qatar is one of the richest countries in the middle east, thus a lot of people are trying to get here. Expats who belong to a good salary bracket even brings their family here. In my opinion, bringing the family here won't be that hard if you have complete documents ready for checking.

I believe there are different kinds of requirements depending on what kind of visa you're going to apply for your family. Some applies business visa for their family just to get here quickly. However that will be too risky; yes you may easily get the business visa but the problem will be on the side of your relative coming here.
This applies especially to filipino expats that are planning to take their family or those who wants to come here. Always take into consideration the situation we have in the philippine immigration. It's not easy to get pass through the philippine immigration, especially when you're not a registered overseas filipino worker.
My mother and I are working here, but sometimes work can be too hard when you don't see yourself growing or improving in your company. Somehow, transferring to other company crossed my mind. The problem is, if I resigned, the company is going to cancel me. I can come back under my mother's visa and as advised by a friend, the following are the required documents that I should prepare:
1. Attested copy of NSO birth certificate proving our relationship
2. Attested copy of Marriage certificate of my mother and father
3. Valid passport
Documents that she needs to prepare:
1. Valid Qatar ID/ Iqama copy
2. Valid passport copy
3. NOC from the company stating that they don't have any objection on my mother sponsoring me to come to Qatar
4. Certificate of employment
5. Salary certificate stating her monthly salary
6. Contract documents from the house she's renting
7. And most especially the complete filled up form
You can download the form HERE and visit the government office that works on visa processing to get more details regarding this. I haven't tried applying visa for any relative so I cannot really give a concrete advise on the process, but I hope the above mentioned can help.
