🇶🇦 Qatar for 🇲🇪 ME citizens

Visit Qatar states that for most visa-free and visa-on-arrival entries the passport must be valid at least three months from arrival, while some sources and older waivers mention six months; travellers should follow the stricter requirement where in doubt.

Photo specifications are based on Discover Qatar transit visa requirements and typical Hayya platform guidance; exact dimensions for visa on arrival may not be explicitly checked at the airport but are required if applying in advance via Hayya.

Visit Qatar explicitly states that a confirmed round ticket is required for visa-on-arrival and many visa-free entries. Airlines may deny boarding if the return date exceeds the initial 30‑day stay even if an extension is theoretically possible.

Visit Qatar specifies that for some nationalities a Discover Qatar hotel booking is mandatory to obtain a visa on arrival; this is also highlighted in the official visa details page under “Visa on Arrival, Discover Qatar Hotel reservation required”. Travellers using the Hayya A1/A2/A3 e‑visa route instead of pure visa on arrival must also provide accommodation details during the online application.

Hayya A1 visa guidance and multiple unofficial sources note that travellers should be able to demonstrate sufficient funds; while not always checked systematically at the airport, border officers may request proof at their discretion.

Qatar Tourism recommends that all visitors have valid health insurance; some travellers may be required to purchase a basic policy on arrival if they do not already have coverage. Hayya platform integrations increasingly check for insurance details, but for pure visa on arrival this may be verified only randomly.
