What would be the requirements to get "Business Tourist Visa". I have a friend who is willing to sponsor me for a tourist visa, am i going to be granted if he is going to apply a "Business Tourist Visa" for me?

My friend is working in Qatar for almost 2yrs already as Civil Engineer and planning to arrange a visa for me soon. Hope to hear from you guys.

My sincere thanks to Sympatico for your valuable info.
