Answer 3

As a British citizen you are able to obtain a Visa up-on-arrival.

"Passengers are supposed to have return tickets on a Qatar Airways flight in order to get a visa. While we have never known anyone turned away because they were on a different flight, we still recommend arriving on a Qatar Airways flight."

To obtain a business visa the following is required:

You must provide a copy of your round trip plane ticket, or a travel itinerary generated by a travel agency, showing your name and date of travel into Qatar.  

Company Letter

A typewritten letter with your company letterhead, signed by the company officer other than the visa applicant, and addressed to:

Embassy of Qatar, Visa Section, London

The letter should contain the following:

Nature of business to be conducted in Qatar

Name and address business contact in Qatar

Guarantee of financial responsibility and of return transportation for the visa applicant.

Take care and have pleasant trip. You'll love it.

Answer 4

if i am not mistaken, british can get upon arrival at Doha International Airport and can stay up to max 90 days. Anyway, double check at the immigration website of Qatar. There are many airlines flying to Doha - which includes Gulf Air (National Airlines of Bahrain) and Emirates. I dont see any problem flying with Gulf Air. My advice is to check in early for Gulf Air - at least 2.5 hours before the flight. I had experience where the flight are overbooked and they knocked off passenger who are late. Have a safe journey. Qatar Airlines is still the best in the region so far (my personal opinion)

Answer 5

I would have thought you can travel with whichever airline you like and i am pretty sure you will need a visa
