Hi all.
I start working in Qatar in August, and my girlfriend will go visit me in September...can she stay at my place? for how long?
I'm Spanish and she is German.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers

epicurean is correct on the Ezdan Towers complaint. They have a seriously creepy doorman.

Sorry for the hijack.

Enforcement of the no-cohabitation rule seems to depend a lot on your accommodation. Do you have a door man? Does he make visitors register their visits or not? If you live in a compound, do the guards register visitors? I would not try such a visit if living in Ezdan Towers or a similar (horribly run) accommodation.

With such strict rules it is amazing that someone other than the bartender is likely to solicit me first if I walk into one of the local bars:0

You both are european, she can come without visa, and get it in the airport.

Do not announce it!!! No body will know

She can stay upon her Visa, as much as she wants.

People do not put up their nose in others things.

Cheer up and let the comments of inexperienced people.

let them say whatever they want.

I am European as u and know much more things than the far east and Asian Nationality.

If you need help just PM me.

It is illegal.. in hotels for example they will never allow her in to your room and vis versa unless you have a marriage certificate..

But at your place I do not think so..

the main issue is the visa

It is OK if you keep it discreet and not publicize it like this ;)

Why take the risk. Let her stay with me and I'll bring her over to visit you when she feels like it :O)

You risk arrest and deportation. Your decision whether to risk it or not.

It's strictly prohibited in Qatar to stay together if the man & woman is not legally married.

Take Care
