New rules for travel to and from Qatar?

I heard recently that there is another new rule at the airport. If you are travelling, do you need the credit card that you used to buy the ticket? My relative is arriving from UK and I don't want her to have any problems at passport control.

Is it worth giving your relative a photocopy of your credit card? maybe that would help...

Qatar Airways, like many airlines, require you to produce the credit card you used to buy the ticket, if you bought it online. I have only ever heard of this being done at check in, and even then I have been asked maybe a couple of times.

if you purchased ticket for her with your credit card then she will or might have some problem because only the buyer can use that ticket no one else. so you better should have cleared that with the airlines office.

there is a rule for only visitors should have sufficient fund during their stay in Qatar. so if somebody is coming to Qatar on visit visa, should have at least 5,000 QR or credit card.

There's not new rules, quilt is right it's only if you buy tickets online. If your friend did it, than he or she has to present the c.card she used.

The credit card is required for inbound passengers to pay their visa charges as no cash will be accepted.

This is not a new rule for travel. It is the requirement of the Airlines to have a copy of the credit card if someone is travelling on a ticket bought online using the credit card of someone other than the passenger.

No idea about the new rule. Credit Card is required at checkin counter in case they want to identify, why immigration will check for that.

For paying visa fees may be it is required at immigration.
