Understanding Qatar Visa Requirements for UAE Residents

The UAE residents who want to go to Qatar can do it by air, land, or sea. Air travel is the quickest and easiest way to get to Qatar from the Emirates. You have to reserve a flight in advance, and it takes within an hour or two to get there.

Regardless of the means of transportation you use, there are some requirements for traveling from the UAE to Qatar. So we will start by discussing the Qatar visa from Dubai.

Upon arrival in Qatar, nationals of more than 95 nations are qualified for visa-free travel or visa waivers. There are, however, some restrictions that you may read about on the nation’s visit Qatar site. Qatar is one of the nations to which UAE residents can travel with no proper visa, but with an e-visa, which is important to note. Even foreign nationals with Indian or Pakistani passports are eligible for this advantage. However, this visa is only for visits, if they need to work, they can obtain a Qatar work visa .

If you are considering to visit Qatar as a UAE resident, there are some requirements you must meet for the Qatar visa for UAE expats:

• Valid passport.
• Airline tickets. (If necessary)
• Hotel reservations.
• Vaccination card.

A 30-day single-trip Qatar visa can be applied for by those with UAE resident visas . A 30-day extension of the visa is possible. When entering Qatar, citizens of any GCC nation must present official credentials proving their employment.

Additionally, UAE citizens visiting Qatar should obtain a Hayya Card. To be eligible for 30-day visa-free entry, you must have this card.  You can utilize Qatar’s public transportation system for free with this card. Additionally, a Hayya Card is necessary whether you choose to fly or ship from the UAE to Qatar.

Entry rules

To obtain your Qatar visa for UAE residents, you must follow certain rules. The Qatari government has established specific admission requirements for all visitors. To help you plan your journey to Qatar via the UAE, you will find a full explanation of the admission requirements here:

• In order to receive their visa on arrival, holders of Pakistani, Iranian, and Indian passports must make hotel reservations prior to traveling to Qatar.
• If you have a Pakistani, Indian, or Iranian passport, you may request an entry permit via the Ehteraz site to get pre-travel approval. It is important to remember that UAE residents and citizens are not subject to pre-travel registration.
• You must carry your certificate of a negative PCR test when visiting Qatar. Additionally, schedule a PCR test 48 hours prior to travel or a Rapid Antigen test 24 hours beforehand. Home-based rapid antigen testing is not valid.
• Download the Ehteraz application and register it upon having arrived in Qatar by using your passport number or SIM card.

Ways to get to Qatar from UAE

Besides from air travel from the UAE, you can get to Qatar via the following methods:

If you like taking lengthy road trips and are daring, you can choose to drive from the UAE to Qatar.

Yes, you can drive your own car from Abu Dhabi or Dubai to Qatar. From either of the Emirates, it takes between five and seven hours to drive to Qatar.  You must cross two borders: the border between the UAE and Saudi Arabia at Ghuwaifat, and the border between Saudi Arabia and Qatar at Salwat.

Travel time varies depending on border checks, which on days with heavy traffic may take up to two hours.

When you arrive in Ghuwaifat, you must exit your car and show the border guards your passport, visa, and other necessary paperwork. You will need to park your vehicle at the land border between Saudi Arabia and Qatar known as Abu Samra. This, in accordance with the new driving regulations for Qatar. You can then board a shuttle bus for free that runs from that border to the heart of Doha.

Driving your vehicle

If you are an expat living in the Emirate and your vehicle is registered in Dubai, you must obtain a tourism license from RTA Dubai. When operating a vehicle as a tourist outside of the UAE, this certificate is a must. However, if you are a citizen of the GCC or the UAE, you are exempt from needing an RTA tourism certificate.

Moreover, if the car licensed in Dubai is not under your name, you must obtain a Clearing Certificate from RTA Dubai. This certificate certifies that there are no limitations (mortgage) or outstanding traffic penalties relating to the vehicle.

Additionally, in order to go to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, you must have car insurance. This insurance is still in effect after 15 days. You will need to purchase new insurance if your current policy expired while you were returning to the UAE via Saudi Arabia. Therefore, it is preferable to purchase outside GCC-wide coverage for a minimum of one month.

For intrepid travelers, traveling to Qatar by water might be a once-in-a-lifetime event. From the UAE, one can reserve a cruise to get to Qatar. From the Arabian Gulf, you can board one of the UAE cruises to travel to Qatar along with other port towns.

People who live in the UAE are able to rent a boat connecting Dubai to Qatar since there is currently no ferry service from Dubai to Doha.

What types of Qatar Visas Available for UAE Residents?

To meet the unique demands of tourists, Qatar offers a number of different visa types. The most typical forms of visas are:

• Tourist visa: Tourists can go to Qatar and visit for up to 30 days in a single trip with the help of the tourist visa Qatar (A1). With this visa, travelers can discover Qatar’s many attractions, delve into its rich culture, and take advantage of the country’s world-famous hospitality. You have the choice of prolonging your stay in Qatar by an extra 30 days if you are qualified for a visa-free travel of up to 30 days. You can accomplish this by approaching the MOI Customs Center at Hamad International Airport or through the Hayya platform. Bring your valid passport, roundtrip ticket, and a QAR 200 charge to use the extension services.
• Business visa: A business visa is a unique travel authorization or permit given to firm owners, investors, or staff.

Despite the fact that the visa is for business travel, the visitor must adhere to severe restrictions and regulations.
• Family visit visa: With the help of a Qatar family visit visa , expatriate residents can travel to Qatar for a brief period with their spouse, kids, parents, or other first- and second-degree relatives.

Visitors to the UAE can now come to the country on a three-month visa, Khaleej Times can reveal.

A call centre executive at the Federal Authority For Identity, Citizenship, Customs & Port Security (ICP) said that people who want to visit the UAE for 90 days can make use of the opportunity. “They should consult their travel agents who will help them in issuing the 90-days visit visa,” said the call centre executive.

According to industry experts, this visa was introduced by the end of May 2023, allowing visitors to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days. The visa can be extendable within the country at an additional cost based on the service provider.

Residents are not aware of this three-month visa, Libin Varghese, sales director at Rooh Tourism LLC, said.

According to industry experts, this was reintroduced by the end of May 2023, allowing visitors to stay in the UAE for up to 90 days.

Different types of entry permits

“There are two types of entry permits — a tourist visa or a leisure visa and a visit visa. A tourist visa is issued for 30 or 60 days. The visit visa is issued for 90 days,” said Subair Thekepurathvalappil, senior manager for inbound and outbound operations at Regal Tours Worldwide, adding that this extended visit visa complements the existing tourist visa options, which includes a 30-day or 60-day stay, offering travellers greater flexibility in planning their itineraries.

The 30-day and the recently introduced 60-day tourist visas have long been popular among visitors seeking shorter stays in the UAE, providing ample time to explore the country's iconic landmarks and indulge in world-class shopping and dining experiences.

Who can apply?

Industry experts said that anyone can apply for this visa. “Currently, we have not received much inquiry about it, and visitors who prefer this entry permit are their family members residing in the UAE, as they want to spend a longer time. Take for instance, if a child who is studying in his home country visits UAE during vacations or parents of a resident,” said Varghese.

The fee for a 90-day-visit visa varies depending on your issuing travel expert, with a starting price of Dh1,500 and can go up to Dh2,000, which can even be extended within the country. “The exact details of extension has not been announced as the visa was introduced a few days ago,” said Varghese.

Documents required

According to Subair, one must submit the following documents if planning to apply for the long term visit visa:

• Recent passport-size coloured photograph
• Passport copy
• Processing time

“Once a person applies for this visa, it may take up to five working days. But we can even receive it in two days,” said Subair.
