According to the official MOI website and Qatar Airways', no one needs a visa to transit (i.e stay within international zone) through DOH.
But, if you want to go in the country, you can qualify for a specific Transit visa if :
- You fly in and out of DOH on Qatar Airways
- Your layover is more than 5h
If you qualify and the visa (that is obtained through Qatar Airways) is issued, you'll get a up to 96h entry visa
Most probably you won't need a Transit visa but it also depends on how long is your layover. If your layover is longer than 24hrs then there might be different conditions specific to your country.
