There is no form to fill out - you have to compile a dossier with all the information about Qatar, it's policies & proceedures regarding animals, quarantine facilities & proceedures, human demographics, info on all native fauna populations and their locations in Qatar, all previous confirmed cases of rabies, it's structure of Government etc complete with a covering letter. It's something that we worked on for months with help from contacts in other countries that are in the scheme along with various vets, the zoo, wildlife parks & government people.
Dr Yusury and Dr Qahtani are not vets - they are the Animal Expert and Director of Animal Resources respectivley. Their offices are on the 2nd floor of the Animal Resource Department. Now they fall under the Ministry of Environment it will probably have to be approved by the Minister himself before being submitted by Dr Qahtani.
The application dossier then goes to the the European Commission in Belgium where it is evaluated and then we get the nod (or not).
As I said above, we are back in contact with them, but unfortunately the person who has now recently been put in charge of the application is on vacation (and we can't find out when he's back). If you want to discuss it with someone then Dr Yusury or Dr Qahtani are the best people to chase it up with. Their english is not great though so if you can take an arabic speaker with you then it's an advantage.
