Original Visa Required or a copy sufficient?

Hi,
I have got permanent visa for my wife and I have send her a copy, but when she went to book the tickets, they informed her that ORIGINAL VISA is required at the airport when she lands. Could someone here please be patient enough to confirm this so that I can send it by courier. If copy is sufficient, then I'm relieved. Thanks in advance.

if her visa with you (blue printout) then no need to worry about it. once she arrive here in the airport, ask her to show the officer her visa copy and he/she will do the needfull. SAVE YOUR MONEY DEAR.

Copy is enough for ur wife to book a ticket and you need to show airline agent ur orginal visa. At airport i doubt they even look at your visa. Everything works with ur passport number. But keep a copy of the original visa for airport, it wont kill u.

I dont think they even need to see a copy of the visa. but better to keep one. Since everything is online I doubt they even ask here at the immigration.

If wife joining husband,only a photocopy is sufficient.

Only for women who are coming on work visa for a maid etc etc catagory they need to have original visa.

On arrival here no one check the copies as at emigration machine reader will give complete history.

From where your wife planing to fly out,some travel agents try to extarct money.

All the best

Yes Original visa is required at the Qatar Airport when she lands. She has to take the original visa from the immigration window at the airport and then submit it to the passport check in counter.

you can simply go to the airline office here and show them the original visa. It would be better also if you have the booking reference.

But in principle, the copy is enough there.
