Qatar eVisa

What is the Qatar eVisa?

Qatar eVisa is a digital document issued by the government, granting tourists, business, and transit visitors legal entry and stay in Qatar for a specific period.

Currently, there are three types of electronic visas to Qatar – an ETA, an online tourist visa, and a GCC resident visa.

All of the Qatar eVisas are single-entry and allow to stay in the country for up to 30 days within the validity period of 90 days.

To get a visa to Qatar online, travelers must provide the required information, attach all necessary documents, and make the payment. The approved eVisa will be delivered in an email.
