  • Hi ivisa , my experience in ivisa is that the help people to easily get their electronics visa in a lower price and that anyone can summit his visa from ivisa without the help of and agent. Because many agents are there to make big from people that need visa to travel. Thanks and this is why I like ivisa for their support for people to not spend their money or to be scam by this some agent.

Qatar visa FAQs

What travelers commonly ask about Qatar visas.

Still have questions?

Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.

Do I need a visa for Qatar?

iVisa checks this for you: enter your nationality when you start your application and we'll tell you whether you need the Qatar eVisa.

It depends on your passport:

  • GCC citizens don't need a visa.
  • Citizens of more than 100 countries can enter visa-free, so they don't need to apply before they travel.
  • Most other nationalities need to apply for a visa before they travel, which they can do online with the Qatar eVisa.

If you need the eVisa, our experts review your application before it's submitted, to catch the mistakes that can lead to delays or a rejection.

How will I receive the Qatar eVisa?

You will receive a Hayya Entry Permit as a PDF via email. Keep a digital copy on your phone and print a backup for border inspection.

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.

Can I extend my stay in Qatar?

Extensions aren't guaranteed, so plan your trip around the stay your visa allows. If you think you'll need longer, contact our support team before your visa expires and we'll help you check your options.

Do children need a Qatar eVisa?

Yes. Every traveler, including infants and children, must have their own individual eVisa.

Can I enter Qatar by land with an eVisa?

Yes. You can enter Qatar through the Abu Samra land border with Saudi Arabia. If you're driving, you can pre-register your vehicle on the Hayya platform to make crossing the border easier.

What happens if my application is rejected?

Rejections are usually due to insufficient passport validity, unclear scans, or unconfirmed accommodation. The government fee is non-refundable, so iVisa's expert review checks your details before submission to help avoid these issues.

Does Qatar offer a visa on arrival?

Qatar now calls its visa on arrival visa-free entry. If your passport qualifies, you don't need a visa before you travel, so you won't need the Qatar eVisa. You'll usually need a passport valid for at least 3 months from arrival, a confirmed hotel booking and health insurance.

A few nationalities can instead get a paid visa on arrival (QAR 100, about US$27) after booking their hotel through Qatar's official Discover Qatar website.

If your passport doesn't qualify for either, apply for the Qatar eVisa before your trip. iVisa can help you apply online.

Which countries can get a Qatar visa on arrival?

Citizens of more than 100 countries can enter Qatar visa-free (formerly visa on arrival), so they don't need to apply before they travel. They include:

  • Europe: the UK, every EU country, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Turkey and Russia.
  • The Americas: the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Peru.
  • Asia and the Pacific: India, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.
  • Africa and the Middle East: South Africa, Mauritius, Rwanda, Seychelles and Lebanon.

Citizens of Pakistan, Thailand and Ukraine can get a paid visa on arrival instead, after booking their hotel through Qatar's official Discover Qatar website.

If your passport isn't on these lists, iVisa can help you apply for the Qatar eVisa online before you travel.

How long can I stay in Qatar visa-free?

It depends on your nationality. Immigration officers confirm how long you can stay when you arrive.

  • US citizens get a visa valid for 2 years, with multiple entries and stays of up to 90 days each.
  • Other visa-free nationalities get a stay that varies by passport, so check the length of stay you're given at the airport.
  • Qatar eVisa holders can stay up to 30 days on a single entry, within the visa's 90-day validity.

If you need the eVisa, iVisa can help you apply online and our experts check your application before it's submitted.
