We're about to move out to Doha in August. We have got Pickfords to do our move of personal effects, not the cheapest but by far the most professional approach. Their rep came out and assessed all that we were wanting to take, explained insurance etc, not too pushy. If using sea freight (less expensive) it takes between 7-10 weeks. Before your freight can land in Qatar, they will need your RP visa details for customs. Pickfords even supply the letter of authority in arabic!
