Anybody travelling on Tourist Visa they need to carry 5000/-QR or they will not allow to board the flight one of my friend wife was suppose to fly to doha today they did not allow her to board the flight because she did not carry along with her the cash................Precaution is better than cure.

The flight counter did not allow her cos she did not carry foreighn currency if it was the immigration i agree cos they want to make money in mumbai,it is strange asking where ur husband staying.why he cannot bring u on personal visit.they got no right to ask all this personal question visa is not illegal it is issued by the Govt.U have to submit all the paprs before u ask for thehotel visa including marriage certificate.

Strange...never heard of this rule before ! Some times cops make their own rules. 20 years ago when I was traveling for the first time, the cops said you cannot carry any local currency with you and pocketed all the money I had. I was too scared to question them.

Now I have grown wiser :-)

Is this something new? Very few people would travel with that much cash in this day and age.
