Hi all,
just wondering if someone could advise me on my girlfriend visiting me in Qatar.
Iam shortly moving to work in qatar and my girlfriend would be hoping to visit me on average every 8 weeks.
My accommodation is 3 bedroom and iam just wondering if she would be allowed a visiters visa to stay with me over there for periods of not more than 3 week?
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated
Many thanks

Hi, i got some more info...

-->Passengers are supposed to have return tickets on a Qatar Airways flight in order to get a visa

-->Note that passports must be valid for six months after the date of return. Exit visas are not required

-->She can give her friends or relatives valid address at the Imigration Counter.

-->Should carry a VISA/ MASTER CARD for the payment at Immigration desk for the VISA on Arrival

I hope this is it...

HI, It also depends on the profession.. She can get a VISA on Arrival in the Airport and stay in Qatar upto 1 month. U canot stay Legally, so goto be careful..its better to book a hotel as the Immigration counter would ask for the address to stay and after she arives- U can cancelthe Hotel Booking.

Yeah she will get a 1 month visa upon arrival at the airport in Qatar... She needs to pay 100 riyals for it on a credit or debit card...

the answer will be no. . . as the culture here is very different. . .

she can stay in a hotel or a married friends of yours (couple of course). . .but not in your flat

you can try but if both of you get caught. . . i really can't say about the punishment. . .but one of them will be deportation
