- Who it's for
- International visitors traveling to Qatar for tourism, leisure, or to see friends and family. Every adult needs their own application, spouses included, because there is no shared or family visa.
- Permitted activities
- Tourism, leisure, and visiting friends or family in Qatar. It does not cover working there, and travelers passing through without entering use a separate transit authorization instead.
- Entry points
- You can arrive by air, sea, or land, including the Abu Samra crossing on the Saudi border. Your accommodation has to be confirmed, whether that is a hotel booking or a stay with family or friends.
- Delivery format
- The approval is issued electronically and linked to your passport number, so border officers verify it digitally. There is no sticker or stamp to collect.
- Minors and extensions
- Travelers under 18 are added as dependents on a parent or guardian's application rather than filing their own. Extensions are not self-service: you have to visit the Directorate of Passports at Hamad International Airport before the permit expires.
- Validity
- Valid for 90 days
- Entry
- Single entry
- Length of stay
- Stay up to 30 days per entry
- Processing time
- Get it in as fast as 24 hours

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.
I had an issue uploading documents. Followed the instructions and went through seamless. Good support received.
They facilitate the stress of making sure all required documentation to apply for a visa is correct before submitting to avoid rejected.
