I am moving from Hong Kong to Qatar in January and my Chinese girlfriend will be visiting me every month. Does anyone know how difficult it is for a Chinese national to obtain a visa for Qatar and how I need to go about this ? I hear there are some restrictions. Any advice would be appreciated.

She is of Chinese origin and not from HK. Thanks for the advice on the accommodation. Can you explain what documents you are refering to.

No problem even for accommodated her!!! She can stay in your house (as many of western doing) but try to kept the issue with you without spread even to friends. Government know about it and the issue is been tolerating.

Enjoy Qatar

if she is from Hongkong as well, she can get visa on arrival at the airport.

obtaining a visa is not your major problem as long as she has all the necessary documents to apply a visa. the biggest problem is where she will stay once she is already in doha because you are not allowed to stay in a room or any accomodation without a marriage certificate. you can not stay also in any hotel because they will require you to provide a marriage certificate...
