You know what I think? I reckon that so many people have left Qatar recently by doing a 'runner' rather than resigning properly, that the Qatari authorities have lost the plot and have been unable to keep track of all the 'absconders'!

So in an attempt to control the situation they have put the block on anyone entering who has had an RP issued within the last two years.

Knowing Qatar a little bit I believe that makes sense, what do you think?
