I will be "stuck" in Doha (Qatar Airlines) for about 8 hours during the night. Is it possible to leave the airport and visit Qatar for a few hours with a standard (Belgium) international passport?

This info can be found very easily on wikitravel (wikitravel.org/en/Qatar#Get_in). The answer is by the way yes. You have to pay QR 105 (~22€) – greg121 Nov 26 '12 at 11:19

@greg121: consider posting that as an answer too. (You'd get the points, and this question wouldn't be left "open".) – Jonik Nov 26 '12 at 21:54

Yes, as listed on wikitravel, Belgium is one of the countries that gets a visa on arrival. The costs are around 22€.

Qatar issues a visa on arrival at Doha's airport to passengers who are citizens of Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Malaysia, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, USA and Vatican City. The price is QR 105, payment by credit card is accepted, and grants a 30 day stay.
