Stupid decision, they are trying to open up to international events and now ban all visas on arrival. Do they really know what they are doing?!?!

this decision of Qatar has created a mixed feelings and reactions in the country and among the expatriates. few think imposing such a rule will restrict family members, businessmen, tourists etc from these 33 countries who come here often to visit thier relatives or do business. at the same time few others think why only the 33 has this privilege and why not us. and majority of them including the nationals here think that why do we need to give this 33 countries the benefit of on arrival when we have to go through a series of procedures and stringent rules to travel to any of these countries. I personally woudnt say this is a stupid decision, but yes considering the events that are occuring in Qatar now and the being the bidding nation for 2022, these kind of rules might impact the image of Qatar

It's a good decision from Qatar. This decision can definitely aid in increasing the safety & security levels of Qatar, thereby making it a better place to live.
