Thread: Visa for Doha

Update.....of sorts

After making more local enquiries in the UK and not getting very far, I contacted the immigration people at Doha.

I explained my situation, travelling without a firm booking, and my basic question was whether I could use the visa waiver facility because the rules appear to state that a confirmed onward or return ticket must be presented.

Almost a month after my initial email, I now have received the following response " Good morning. Yes, the ticket must be present. Regards etc."

I have to assume from this, that a standby (zed) ticket is good enough. This of course makes sense, however I would not like to advise others to use this as proof positive of the ability for non revs to use the visa waiver 'privilege'.

In the absence of further advice, I will plan to test this out later in the year.

Regards
