thanks for the info.

Can u recommend any travel agent who can arrange his visa? He only wanted to see Qatar and to meet up with the Filipino Community here.

if you need to arrange his visa, go to a travel agent and check with them if they will do single male visas. If not, then you will have to get it done through a hotel, which can prove to be expensive, since you will havta pay them for room charges... :-(

how can he stay here for 2 days if he doesn't have a visa?

thanks for the correction.

he will be staying for 2 days here so he needs to get a transit visa. Since he is a Filipino, i learned he can not get it upon arrival, so how is it?

he will not get a transit visa, he may be sent to a hotel is his transit time is more than 8 hours.

and your friend will fly via DOHA and not Qatar Airways. Q.A. is the carrier, not the transit stop ;-)
