Care to elaborate? I was planning to apply for a 3-5 day transit visa for a fraction of the cost via the DC consulate.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking at connecting on separate tickets from Doha on Qatar Airways and onwards on British Airways in Baku.

According to the embassy website in Qatar I can acquire a transit visa with just the application form and proof of onward travel and a valid visa for my destination which I have. Does anyone know how long this would take to process?

Two questions if anyone kindly has the answers!

1) Do I definitely need a visa for a 9 hour connection where I don't intend to leave the airport.

2) Is there any chance Qatar can tag my bag all the way to London from Doha and if so would I need a transit visa still?

Thanks,

Many reports on other sites of the eVisa website not working - but I surprisingly didn't have a problem with the site nor with submitting payment using a US-based Visa. Now, the question is whether I will get approved or not :-)

I used to travel to Baku monthly and would always have issues with my US cards besides 1 but even that card was a 50/50 shot. I had no issues with my foreign debit card. I can't imagine why your visa would not be approved so don't worry

Yep, I was approved after 2 business days or so.
