What does it take for a guy to get a drink around here?

In Qatar, for some clubs, apparently a copy of their resident’s permit card and two passport-size photos and a onetime fee of QR25

Doha: The Ministry of Interior issued hotels and clubs a directive not to allow guests inside their premises unless they have a membership card starting March 1.

Hotels and clubs are now posting announcements and informing customers personally and through websites about the new policy. Robin Hawksworth, in an earlier interview, said the rule stated that guests to clubs like Qube are required to present a membership ID before entering for security reasons.

Qube guests, once they sign up, will get the lifetime membership ID. Applicants are required to submit a copy of their resident’s permit card and two passport-size photos and a onetime fee of QR25. The cards will be ready after two weeks. For Sheraton’s Waterhole, applicants are only required to submit a copy of their resident card with two passport-size photos at the entrance of the establishment.
