British Embassy launches new website

Dear Qatar Living users,

You may be interested to see the following press release about our new Embassy website UK in Qatar

We would welcome your comments on the new site.
----------------------------------
The British Embassy in Doha is delighted to launch its stylish new web-site UK in Qatar that contains a raft of new information about the services offered by the Embassy, living and working in the United Kingdom, and offers key contact details and background to the Embassy in an accompanying Arabic site.

Visitors to the new site can also access the Embassy’s image library held on its flickr site, which contains a display of historic Embassy photos as well as images of the Embassy’s activities in recent months.

The Embassy plans to translate more and more of the site into the Arabic language this year to complement the existing UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office Arabic site. The Embassy’s Visa Application Centre already boasts an Arabic web-site.

New Ambassador John Hawkins said: “We have a modern and impressive Embassy and now we have a web-site to match. We hope all our customers will find it clear and accessible.”

The address for the Embassy’s new web-site is ukinqatar.fco.gov.uk, though the current britishembassy.gov.uk/qatar will continue to take users to the new site.
