TRANSIT VISA - DOHA AIRPORT INDIAN NATIONALS
By sjpmsd2011 •
Hello All!! Good Day.
My cousin and family is travelling from Saudi Arabia to India through Doha International Airport. They have a 8 hours transit time in Doha Airport. Does thay can come out of the Airport during this 8 hrs time? OR it need some transit visa or any other formalities. Please advise me or give some information about it.
thanks in advance,
Regards....

only few countries can get Visa on Arrival here in Doha but excludes Indian passport. But if your cousin holds RP in Saudi Arabia and holds managerial position ONLY, then he can enter DOha during his transit. However for his family that I am not sure, as Immigration Officer is the one who will decide for it. (Check with MOI to confirm these info)
So if the above mentioned is not applicable, kindly check with the airlines they are flying with if they will be given hotel accommodation while they are in transit..
If airlines cannot, then I would suggest to book for Oryx Lounge. As per Celineg, they can relax and sit comfortably in the lounge while waiting for their 8hours transit.
;)
Just relaxs on the lounge area and have a cup of coffee....
if you are having RP in saudi you can try for a visit visa on arrival here...or else you cannot enter doha...you can only spend those hours in the lounge and go to india
