Two PNRs in DOH, visa fee avoidable?
 

Hi all
My Asia to Europe return leg on QR has a 4 day stopover built in in DOH.
During this I'll take a short trip to DXB, also on QR. This is on a separate PNR to the Asia to Europe ticket.
On arrival from Asia in DOH, I'm presuming I'll have to go landside before checking in for my DOH-DXB flight. And likewise on the way back from DXB before catching the rest of my ticket to Europe.
Is there any way round this? I have no need to be in Doha so wondering if the two lots of visa fees are avoidable in any way.
Thanks!

Dijonspurs you should be able to check-in Asia-DOH-DXB and then DXB-DOH-Europe in Dubai. Thus you would not need to go landside in DOH either time.
You are certainly eligible for the Business Class lounge and depending upon your cabin Class maybe El Mourjan and Al Safwa lounges.

You do not need to go landside in DOH you will not need visas. You are in transit.

Thanks remdk for the quick reply! The reason I thought i'd need to go landside is that this is usually always necessary in Europe (or at least I thought it was!), where separate PNRs are concerned. Just to confirm I am doing:

ARN-DOH-HKG
HKG-DOH-ARN
(one ticket, J class)

DOH-DXB
DXB-DOH
(separate tickets altogether, indeed booked as two one ways, Y class)

Are you saying they will effectively issue both boarding passes at HKG and then at DXB even though each leg is on a different ticket?

Thanks a lot!

Dijonspurs I once did CPH-DOH-HKG, HKG-DOH on one PNR and DOH-MAN on another PNR. I had no problems when checking in at HKG. They even cancelled the DOH-CPH flight on the first PNR so I would not have to pay the No show fee. Not quite your situation but it shows that two PNRs are no problem.

Should HKG for some unknown reason refuse to check you and your baggage through to DXB they can only issue you with a HKG-DOH boarding pass since your DOH-ARN flight is more than 24 hours after arrival in DOH. In this case go to the Transfer desks and recheck-in for DOH-DXB there. I am assured that transfer desks in DOH can retrieve your baggage, redirect it to DXB and issue you with a new baggage tag.

WARNING: Qatars immigration laws apparently only permit you to be in transit for a maximum of 24 hours whereupon you are a visitor and will require a visa.

Thanks! That's very helpful.
