Default New Visit Visa Regulations for Qatar

Apparently as of May 01 they are changing the regulations on visit visa for entry into Qatar. At the moment there are 33 countries that can buy visas at the airport.

Word has it that US citizens are going to have to apply for visas before coming to Qatar.

Has anyone heard or know anymore info about this - it was printed in the local newspaper but they did not say which other countries will be affected.

US citizens? If true, that is a major diplomatic kick in the balls. Expect fallout, big time.
