I can understand where you coming from AAB, like you say until you start arguing you do not get anything. And again descrimination against certain nationalities is a very common thing.
I heard a story from my colleague that a well educated passenger holding a Pakistani passport was denied a transit visa even though he had fulfill all the visa requirements and was booked in a 4* hotel, when he arrived from Johannesburg on route to Islambad.
When he arrived at Doha Airport he was told that they do not issue transit visa's to Pakistani Passport holders. He argued with them that he will have to spend almost a day at the Airport and he had paid to stay in the hotel for the duration of his transit but to no avail. This guy had just done a 12 or 13 hour journey and then was forced to spend another 24 hours at the Airport..
The merciless Airport staff, in the case the Immigation staff told him to stay at the airport. He had plenty of dollars with but still was denied.
That's one unsatisfied customer. But the question is why?
