But I'm the hotel! And Expats are NOT allowed to sponsor friends!

Can someone tell me how my friends are meant to come and visit me on their way through?

I believe that those rules only apply to residents of countries who had to apply for a visit visa originally.(which does NOT include Oz)
Those coming from Oz, still get a visa on arrival (though there may now be the 100 dh fee??)
Coming from Oz, they should get a 30 day visa.

Im still a little hazy on the rules too, but hope to learn more soon.
