You live in Qatar on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Qatar but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

Common mistakes
Paying an intermediary website that imitates the official portal is the costliest mistake: check the site address before entering your data or paying any fees. An error in the passport number, name or travel dates can also lead to a refusal or a delay. Finally, keep to the maximum stay of 30 days, which should not be confused with the validity of the e-Visa.
