To step up the promotion of Qatar as a world-class stop-over destination, the Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA) has declared a revised, free tourism visa scheme for all passenger transiting through the capital, Doha.

The new transit visa structure allows passengers with a minimum transit time of five hours at Hamad International Airport (HIA) to stay in Qatar for up to 96 hours or an equivalent of four days.

This is a significant increase from the previous transit visa scheme, which allowed travelers with a minimum layover of eight hours and a maximum of 48 hours or two days in Qatar





 The transit visa will be available on arrival at HIA to passengers of all nationalities upon confirmation of onward journey and completion of passport control procedures. 

All visas are approved and issued at the sole discretion of MoI.
