that's what makes things sadder than they already are. aren't there rules, too, for making rules? the abruptness of implementation and lack of coordination between the immigration and Qatar embassy back home have done damage to visa holders under sponsorship of travel agencies.
"rules are rules" unless somebody pays...that's what corrodes any good intention for good governance.
some damage control must at least be put into place at least for a given time.
we are not asking for the total abolition of their rules to require affidavit of support if this shall put everything into its proper perspective and ensure that our kababayans are protected from being abused. what we hope to be considered is the significant number of visa holders whose visas are in danger of being wasted...at least give them some time to use the visas within a given period. after the exact given deadline or due date, then by all means - implement the rules and refrain from asking for "too much"...
