FAQ

Visas for Qatar citizens

Where can Qatar passport holders go visa-free?
Visa-free: 79 countries and territories, including Albania, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Bahamas. In 7 more countries, an electronic travel authorisation is enough โ€” it takes a few minutes online.
Where can you stay the longest without a visa?
The longest stays: Georgia โ€” 365 days, Peru โ€” 183 days, Armenia โ€” 180 days and Egypt โ€” 180 days.
How accurate is this, and how often is it updated?
The reference is updated weekly and cross-checked against two independent sources; where they disagree, the country is marked โ€œReferences disagreeโ€. Only the destination country can confirm its rules โ€” check its official website or embassy before you travel.
What is an electronic travel authorisation versus an e-visa?
An electronic travel authorisation (ETA, ESTA and the like) is a short online form, usually approved within minutes to days. An e-visa is a full visa, but you apply and pay online without visiting a consulate.
