maybe you should check with qatar embassy in NZ
my father got a visa to visit me from the UK ( he is American and UK resident married to a brit)
what your husband might not be able to do is get a multiple entry visa .. only a single entry visa like my father did.
and yes we can all see that the qataris did not think this through properly.. Many expats live all over the world , not just in the country of their birth.
there is some incredible bitterness here from those who always had to have pre approved visas. why don't you condemn that instead of insisting that everyone should be punished.
Tit for tat is stupid it just doesn’t work, and for those that agree with it ( like the Asian countries ) when will your countries be applying tit for tat to the Qataris ?
to the reportet peter townsend zero point for orginilty and plagurism.
Ask yourself this question on the quote below
“This will make it impossible for me to stay here,” said one British woman, currently residing in Doha, “I cannot get sponsorship at my place of work so it will no longer be viable for me to stay in Qatar.”
Then either your employer was employing you illegally or you should have sponsorship through husband or family member. Visa upon arrival is meant for entry not working. You are supposed to get business visa via employer or family sponsorship. Regardless of the pain in the backside that calls itself immigration, she is just circumnavigating the law and this gives the Qataris an excuse to bash the expats with ill thought out laws like this.
