We have been advised by the Government of Qatar that from 1 May 2010 they will withdraw the provision whereby British passport holders can obtain a visitors visa on arrival in Qatar. British visitors intending to travel to Qatar from 1 May 2010 should contact their nearest Qatari Embassy (www.english.mofa.gov.qa) for details of how to apply for their visa.
However when contacted this morning i was told that they had 'heard such rumours' but had not been contacted officially.
