i would like to know whats the procedure to visit dubai and other places from qatar shld we go through all the detailed visa application process or we can just get it at the airport? and is its possible to travel by ca to these plces? is it risky?
Once you get your residence permit stamped you can easily visit Dubai and Bahrain on short hop flights...Travel by road via Saudi shall be best avoided..
If you have just arrived and are less than 6 months into Qatar..get the visa from the Embassies..or else you will get it on arrival at Dubai and Bahrain Airports...
I have never paid for my trips to Dubai by Air...Hint: Even before you start join the loyality program of your airline/airlines...That would help you accumalate points...In my case business trips help zoom the airmiles...i dont know.but even for your yearly trips you will get atleast one ticket for either of these destinations free....
Sorry doc, been there, got the T-shirt. Have been to all Gulf States and many other countries since I first went to the Gulf in 1978.
As one of the Canadians indicated on another thread. You are at half-way house in Qatar so one of the benefits is being able to visit other countries.
Sadly, companies now only provide excursion tickets for annual leave when previously they provided full economy which made it possible to travel almost free.
then its time for you to explore other places also dweller, i hav heard dubai is very hitech so might as well check that out. You can join me if u want lol.
Residents of Qatar for over 6 months can get visa on arrival at Dubai and Kuwait entry points.
Any GCC bound road trip means travelling through Saudi Arabia, so you need a Saudi transit visa. Many Qataris and some expats do it but it's not my cup of tea.
It depends on your nationality, profession written on your id card, residency period, and such like. It's always much safer to get a visa from Qatar if you are not sure that you are eligible for a visa on arrival.
Travelling by car anywhere will require passage through Saudi, and it's a hassle to say the least. You will definitely need to apply for a transit visa beforehand, make sure all the ladies are completely covered while in Saudi, and the roads there are NOT SAFE AT ALL.
