OPENING HOURS & INFO

Hi all, I am in Doha on a visitor's visa which is about to expire.  Does anyone know the opening hours for the passport & immigration office down at the airport - or if this visa can be extended online to save a trip down there? I have logged into the MOI site, but cannot see any online forms to do so.  Also, I was told when I got my temporary driving licence this could be re-newed online once my visa is extended, again I cannot see where on the site this can be done.  Can anyone advise and/or send me the appropriate links? Thank you

The building is next to LONG TERM PARKING and is OPEN in evening. It is advisable to park your car in SHORT term parking area (First 15 minutes are FREE), walk through LONG term parking area and get your job done in VISA SECTION building.

Note: Please do not park your car other than the designated parking areas (like other drivers), else you may get a parking violation ticket which may cost you from QAR 300 to QAR 500 :).

Ok thanks. I am already in Qatar, so it's the passport office across from departures, next to the Oryx I need to go to. As it's a government office I was unsure of opening hours, I wanted to go down in the evening, but expect it may be closed.

I've never heard of any such facility to renew your visa online. If it's a visa on arrival, then you must visit VISA SECTION at airport (Departure) which is opened 24 hours, I think.
