Guys I need your enlightment. I have a Filipino friend working as Nurse in Abu Dhabi and wanted to visit Doha with his family.

My question is can he fly directly to Doha from Abu Dhabi without pre-applying visa? I heard for certain professions, Expats in GCC can visit any GCC country and visa stamping is done right at airport immigration counters, just have to pay minimal fees.

Anybody who did this before?

Thanks a lot and I am excited to welcome my cousin here in Doha.

Hi,

Nurses will get visa on arrival.

You can find the list of approved professions for on-arrival visa for the GCC residents on the Qatar MOI website thru the below link..

Nurses will not get visa on arrival. You should arrange a visit visa for them.
