just for info... a family friend just arrived here in doha dis december on business visa. With him are documents of the valid visa, invitation letter of her relative, credentials of the relative such as company id, salary certificate, etc. The relative is working at Hamad. These are sent through emails..so its not original at its not authenticated or red ribboned.

He passed the immigration after three attempts. It take guts, confidence and "matinding pakiusapan". No payment made. They just asked if he has pocket money and he showed the 300 dollar bills.

Dont be intimadated by this officers.
