Frequently asked questions about the Qatar eVisa

Do I need a Qatar eVisa?

It depends on your nationality. Citizens from over 95 countries (including the UK, USA, and most EU nations) are eligible for a Visa Waiver on Arrival, allowing stays of 30 to 90 days. However, travelers from countries not eligible for a waiver, or those seeking specific entry types (like GCC Residents or those with an ETA), must apply for an eVisa before traveling. All visitors must have a confirmed return ticket and mandatory health insurance for longer stays.

How will I receive the Qatar eVisa?

You will receive a Hayya Entry Permit as a PDF via email. Unlike older systems, the physical "Hayya Card" is no longer required for entry; the digital PDF serves as your official visa.

You should keep a digital copy on your phone and are advised to print a physical backup for inspection at the border.

If you applied through iVisa, you can also find a copy of your approval PDF in your dashboard.

How long can I stay in Qatar?

The standard Tourist Visa (A1) usually allows a stay of up to 30 days on a single entry. The total duration and validity are often tied to your specific nationality and the purpose of your visit. Some waivers allow for 90 days within a 180-day period.

Can I extend my stay in Qatar?

Yes. If you wish to stay longer, you can often apply for an extension through the Ministry of Interior (MOI) website or the Hayya app. Extensions are generally granted for an additional 30 days, provided you have valid health insurance and your current visa has not yet expired.

What is the processing time for the Qatar eVisa?

Government processing typically takes between 48 hours and 5 business days.

With iVisa, you can get it in as little as 2 days.

Do children/minors need a Qatar eVisa?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own individual eVisa. You can use iVisa’s "Add another person" feature to easily manage applications for the whole family in one session, saving time and effort.

Can I enter Qatar by land with an eVisa?

Yes. The Hayya platform covers entry via the Abu Samra land border with Saudi Arabia. Ensure your vehicle insurance and Hayya permit are ready for inspection if you are driving across the border.

What happens if my Qatar eVisa application is rejected?

If your application is rejected, it is usually due to insufficient passport validity (less than 3 months), unclear document scans, or unconfirmed accommodation. While the government visa fee (typically QAR 100) is non-refundable, iVisa's review process is designed to catch these issues early to maximize your chances of approval. We also offer optional denial protection.
