Arriving and departing
The following visa information was current in 2008.
Nationalities who are able to buy a two-week visit visa on arrival at Doha airport:
- USA, Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, Greece, Finland, Spain, Monaco, The Vatican, Iceland, Andorra, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Brunei, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and South Korea.
- Nationals of GCC countries (Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait) do not require a visa.
Visit visas can be purchased on arrival, at the passport control counters, and cost QR 100 ($27) each. The desks accept both cash and credit card payment through Visa, Mastercard, Maestro and Visa Electron.
You can also apply and pay for visas in advance at www.e.gov.qa, but doing it at the airport is probably simpler.
If you’re from a country which is not mentioned above, then you may well need to pre-arrange your entry visa for Qatar. Check with your embassy for more details.
Generally, the visa policies in Qatar are stable and unlikely to change at short notice, although it’s always best to double-check with your embassy before leaving.
