Can someone confirm if this is true? A friend of mine just told me that they are no longer issuing visit visas to anyone. Two people have already mentioned to me that they dont issue it anymore at the Airport office. What about the immigration office? Have they stopped it there too?
smoke.its tourist visa for 30 days which is been stopped in airport immigration but you can get from any hotel..they have not stopped issuing visit visa (Gharafa)
... who are 65 and 67, came on visit visa for one month, and then I went to immigration by the airport and got one more month for them. This was in March.
Well just a update that its true that they are no longer issuing visit visa's at the airport branch. However you can still obtain a visit visa from hotels and at the immigration office Gharaffa branch.

Cumbersome this rule was actually passed just a couple of days ago so it seems. I'm talking about visit visa being stopped completely for everyone, not any specific nationality. Both persons that told me this went to the airport branch. So its possible that they are no long issuing visit visa there. But its still available at the immigration office in Gharaffa?

Depends on the nationality of the subject. There are some nationalities which are "frowned upon" by the Qatari government (due to political reasons). Jordanians, Iraqis, Palestinians (from abroad) and indians too as they always try to regulate the ratios of nationalities in the country.
