How long is the Qatar tourist visa valid?

The standard Hayya tourist visa is valid for 30 days and can usually be extended once for a further 30 days from within Qatar.

What documents are required?

You need a passport valid for at least six months, a recent photograph, confirmed accommodation details, and a return or onward flight ticket.

How much passport validity do I need?

Your passport should be valid for at least six months from your date of arrival in Qatar.

How long does it take to get approved?

Hayya applications are typically processed within a few working days. We recommend applying at least a week before departure to allow for review.

How do I receive my Qatar visa?

Your approved Hayya permit is issued electronically and sent by email. You can present it digitally or as a printout when you arrive.

How many entries does the visa allow?

The standard Hayya tourist visa is single-entry. US citizens are a special case and may be eligible for a multiple-entry visa valid for up to two years.

Can I extend my stay in Qatar?

Yes. The 30-day tourist visa can usually be extended once for an additional 30 days before it expires, subject to approval.

How long is a Qatar visa valid and how long can I stay?

The Qatar Tourist eVisa permits a stay of 30 days and is valid for 90 days from the date of issue (single entry). Make sure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of arrival, as this is the most common reason Qatar applications are refused.
