* Qatar

Qatar had special treaty relations with Great Britain from 1916 until 3 September 1971, when it became an independent state. British Agency general issues were used at Doha from August 1950 and at Umm Said from February 1956. On 1 April 1957, the agencies issued GB stamps overprinted QATAR. The agencies closed on 23 May 1963 when Qatar began its own service.
