@Danyonce is right in that context there's no difference.
They're used as synonyms in everyday speech, so you might choose one over the other as you please.
Just keep in mind that there is a slight difference.
- Qui refers to a defined place that is closer to the speaker and farther from the listener.
- Qua refers to an undefined area (you don't know the exact spot), còloser to the speaker and farther frome the listener.
- Dai siediti qui accanto a me. Hurry take a seat right next to me.
- Noi siamo qui al centro della piazza tu dove sei? We're standing in the middle of the city square , what about you? (qui= in this exact spot)
- E tu come ci sei finito qua? How did you end up here? (qua= in this area)
- Prova a parcheggiare la macchina un po' più in qua. Try parking the car a little bit more on this side.
