Can I stay/co-habit with my boyfriend whilst visiting him in Doha for three weeks?
Hey people, I'm new to this site and totally clueless about the local customs so please be gentle!
I need to know if I can stay with my boyfriend whilst visiting Doha for a three week holiday...
I don't want to get 'busted' for doing anything 'wrong' so I need to be sure of the local laws.
If anyone know where I can access a copy of Qatar's laws, as such, it would be much appreciated.
Also, as many before me have asked, I'd like to know if wearing ankle length skirts/dresses is required 24/7 and if I should cover my hair AND my face?
A little about me - tallish, brunette (cropped short), blue eyes and have A.D.H.D to boot, so I tend to be a little outrageous. (Check out my 'profile' for more.)
Big kiss!
Ciao

A fair few tennis players were here with their girlfriends last week. One even had his Girlfriend pointed out by the TV just to let everyone know they were not married. He went home with a lot of money. So is he a criminal or what? Bet they didn't have single rooms at the RC.
Who cares?
shaheka143 - Thank you soo much for that, awesome lead!
xx =)
Hi Missv,
There is an english section in the website of Ministry of Interior (http://www.moi.gov.qa)
Here it is. Click on this site for the english version of the site. http://www.moi.gov.qa/site/english/
Have a nice stay in Qatar. Let me know if you need any assistance. I work for an English newspaper in Qatar.
All the best.

Attention: Wissami, LeighLee & The-Birdie; Yes I am real. NO I am not trying to attract further men. I felt the discription may have been topical with regards to my question about attire. (Going by other threads I have read on here.)
I HAVE previously stated that I am clueless about the customs etc...
Furthermore, as Mother always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, p*ss off!"
Lol i was jus wondering! whats the whole commotion abt ? how can it be illegal. aint it funny . i mean my lady came down for a week from USA . and she stayed withme . i got a visiting visa .
Geeeks! and abt the attire as far as i know brunettes dress pretty goood! they got a nice swag on
Holla!
Peace homie
what a kind of question no word to say
lol....are you asking bout qatar laws or marketing yourself !
I agree with Hagar. You dont get noticed or questioned by any authorites as long as you dont annoy anybody. Added to that, if your nationality is European/Western/American, then nobody raises eyebrows!
Wearing a fake wedding ring would make no difference (ofcourse you can fool the passersby) :-), as the authorities here go only by authenticated printed documents, if at all they would need any.
So be cool! Visit and enjoy your holiday in Doha!
I doubt whether this woman / man "Missy" is REAL
especially from the invitaion to visit "her" profile and the saucy description,,,,,,,LOL
why do you explain to us how you look? are you trying to find even more guys while you are in qatar? or just in need of some attention?
Okay, so it's illegal but I can get away with it if I don't flaunt it or offend anyone. How about if we just pretend we are married? Could I just wear a ring? Would anyone question us then? And if someone in authority did question us, would we have to produce a marriage certificate?
(How scary, but a wee bit s*xy in a 'we might get caught' kind of way! LOL!)
Regarding if you can stay with your boyfriend, of course. A visit visa is legal and nothing is wrong with that.
There's no strict dress code here as long as it is decent.
Welcome here in Qatar.
Oh! Big kiss to you too Abohmaid! ;)
Is it illegal but you can
Campbell_09 - Bahahaaa! I'm pretty sure he agrees! After all he's the one paying for me to go over! Doubt I'll be leaving the apartment much anyway if all goes according to plan, so maybe attire will not be an issue after all. LOL! ;)
welcome
also a big kiss for u
Lol! illegal. Hell no wayz. my Lady just came here to meet up with me for a week, stayed with me . It was all cool!
I guess there aint any prob delaing with it , as long as ur guy agrees.
Holla!
Hagar - Thanks for that! =) xx
Is it illegal? Yes, but it's unlikely that you would get in trouble unless you flaunt the situation. Follow the rule "Don't ask, don't tell." Unless you are checking into a hotel, no one is likely to ask if you are married or not. If asked when you enter where you are staying, just say "with a friend", don't say to any official that it's your boyfriend.
As to dress, just avoid anything outrageous (no short skirts, sleeveless top, spaghetti straps, etc.), No need to cover up or wear a head scarf.
Enjoy your visit here.
DaRuDe - I can't read Arabic, thanks anyway ;P
IT IS DEPEND HOW YOU GET VISA? FIRST
yep you can stay with him.
for rules and regulation you need
to check Ministry of Interior site.
