british embassy have said when asked about this morning on the telephone that they are aware of the rumours but have not been contacted officially as yet and know nothing. well if the Gulf Times can make the right contacts and get info then what the hell are the british embassy doing? pull ur fingers out and do what your paid to do, which is support british nationals here in qatar.

does anyone know how british passport holders living in countries other than the UK would get visa's i.e. ex-pat living in Dubai coming to qatar.

what about the large number of british nationals who up till now have lived here by making regular 'visa-runs' to Bahrain, Dubai etc. I guess this is the end of that?
