Visit visa for a 80 year old parent

My fiancé's dad is 80 years old residing in London and we want to invite him over for a visit. Now what I have heard that If you are over 70 you can't get in on a tourist visa at the airport even if you are a westerner. Is that true? Did anyone have a similar experience? Would appreciate some feedback..

Hmm, Western people, even the elderly, usually have health insurance...so I can't see there being a problem.

But it's best to find out for sure.

Maybe the gentleman can call the Qatar embassy in the UK to get information on the issue?

As far as I know, there is an age limit because they don't want the elderly to burden the health service.

I would suggest double checking - especially with QA

Yeah my father in law is British but as I mentioned earlier he is 80. I had heard sometime back that anyone over 70 irrespective of their nationality would not be eligible to get a tourist visa on arrival unless they have a comprehensive international medical insurance.
