I have heard such thing (not confirmed though!!):

if your friends have to stop over in Qatar for few hours, YOU, or some other their friends can come to the airport, sign the guaranty that they won't stay in qatar and will catch their next flight and to pick them up from the airport.

..check this info with the airport immigration

If she's young and good looking, then perhaps DaRuDe can sponsor her.

Sorry Labda, but definitely shes not in luck. The only way to come over here, even in transit, is on hotel tourist visa, for Qatar airways one I am not sure. But, problem is if you apply for her visa in some "cheaper" hotel, a big possibility is that immigration will not approve application because she is single.

Other option is to apply for visa through hotels like Sheraton, Intercont etc, and I am sure she will get it, but she has to stay there and it will cost a lot.

Heh I think that residence one is much more easier

So...Good luck :)))

Thanks Darude. Guess my friend's not in luck.

yes labda, there is a procedure, but before that there are some nationals who will get on arrival visit visa. if your friend is from western country, i guess he/she will get on arrival visa. better to check with immigration. I am trying to to get this nationals list on net which i have seen some time ago, once i get this list, i will let you know. in the meantime you can also search for this list of nationals who can get on arrival visit visa.

Check if its on the visa on arrival category? I dont have the list of countries who gets visa on arrival...

Maybe QS can help on this...

FS - she's Serbian.

--------Do I look like Bambi's sister???-------

What's your friends nationality??

Yes Arien is right... thats what I did when my aunt stopped over here when she was goin to India from London..

But if they are on the visa on arrival category they will get it at the airport... my uncle had UK passport but my aunt still has her Indian Passport...so we took advance visa for her through hotel and Uncle got ti from the airport...

hmmmm...

Im trying to find a way of getting a visa for a friend who needs to come in urgently. Business visa is out. Hotel visa is really pricey (although at this point this seems our only option) and now transit visa seems like a no-go.

Demmit.

I doubt Labda , you will have to apply for a visit visa through some hotels to take a stop in Doha.
