Yes, thats true you have to turn to your home branch for these services,, believe it or not even if you want to depostit you need to turn around to your home branch..

One thing i appreciate and like with doha bank is their debit card.
wherever i use the debit card overseas i am charged precisely for the money used (shopping or ATM withdrawal) with the current exchange rate and not a penny more on any service.. so this is great having the bank in your pocket. highly recommended for travelers, as travelers cheque are history.
