There is no such thing as a Qatari Transit Visa - people of any nationality can transfer at Doha airport. You are not just transferring/transiting - you actually want to enter the country.
Indeed there is a transit visa for 24hours; it is included in the STPC for long layovers that are more than 8 hours long and less than 24 hours.
