Cheaper to employ expats apparantly as most Qatari Packages are far more expensive than even Western Expats.
But to require visitors who will either be staying in a 5* hotel paid by Credit Card, or with family or friends who must have a job and therefore accommodation, or be Qatari to provide bank statements to get a visa, is a bit stiff. They will likely be travelling with Travel insurance as well.
I don't mind going to the airport and paying al-maha for the visa for my guests, even happy to sponsor them by giving over my ID number. Won't it make Al-Maha a bit useless as that was really the only benefit especially since they put the price up !
