Will a passport photocopy be accepted in bars/clubs as id. I am 22 so am of age to drink but i just dont want to loose my passport after i have had a few drinks because i am prone to loosing stuff when im out and about.

Not any longer, as some people started taking advantage of the photocopy idea and changing their year of birth. Qatari ID (or some ID - wherever you are from) or your passport is now required.

During my RP process, I had to give-up my passport and took a copy for exactly this reason - none of the hotel bars would allow me entry - original only - stuck to places like Kempinski who dont ask for ID. The Admirals bar at the Ritz used to let me in on my "Pink" bit of my UK driving licence though?

Won't Work...

Either Original Passport or Valid Qatari ID...

I wouldn't have thought so, but it can't hurt to try.
