Qatar visa help, please?

Hello!

I've booked a flight Doha, Qatar for Feb 2011 in order to visit a friend who will be working out there. I'm confused about where I can get a visa for my stay, plus which website is the official Qatari embassy website!

Please can anyone help me just work through this?
Do I have to get a visa before I fly? If so, where from?
Can I get a visa on arrival?
Will it be a problem that I will be staying with my friend (just a friend, she's got a 2 bedroomed flat and my husband is looking forward to a week without me!) as opposed to a hotel?

Many thanks in advance. :beer:

    Oh, I'm so embarassed. :o I did one last search and found this: Qatar visa info for British nationals

    Typical! However, hopefully it's there for future people wanting to ask this same question. :)

    Then again, if anyone has an answer about staying with a friend for implications on the visa I'd be very grateful!

  • Why not send an email to the airline with your booking reference number and ask them if they can help? Or better still call their helpline and ask?
