...to check the place out prior to job offer.

Can my girlfriend accompany me on the trip? Will it cause any problems?

Sorry but I know so little about Qatar!

TIA.

There is no problem as far as Qatar concerned. You can come here directly but you have sort out your mess with POEA. May be they are waiting for you to pay a bribe to them :)

It's not a problem at all. I have unmarried colleagues who have their girlfriends/boyfriends visit them all the time. :)

No idea SS. But when you call the hotels and ask their policy on this, their first question is what nationality the coupe are. I have only ever answered with UK, and they reply that, that is not a problem.
