Has anyone experience of a pre-ordered tourist visa?
The whole tourist/visit visa thing here is very confusing!
For a start is there a difference between a visit visa and a tourist visa?
I know that citizens of the 33 eligible countries can get one month visa on arrival for QR100 and citizens of other countries can get a visa via a hotel provided they make a room reservation and this costs QR200 for one month. The government online site, Hukoomi, states that citizens of the 33 eligible countries can also apply for a tourist visa in advance and this costs QR55. Anyone experienced this? Or has anyone from a non-eligible country got a visa in advance,and how??? I'm just talking visit/tourist visas here , not business or residency.
Hope someone can help!
Tourist Visa in advance means...someone has to apply for the tourist visa here at the Immigration Office. If you wish to have a tourist visa for your friend or relative...just go to Airport Immigration Office...get the form & fill it up...then resubmit it with a fee of QR 55/- and get the visa.
