Visa Details

Indian passport holders can receive a free on-arrival tourist visa for up to 30 days, or for the confirmed hotel-booking period. The official conditions include a passport valid for at least three months, a confirmed round-trip ticket, a qualifying hotel reservation made through Discover Qatar only, and accepted health insurance. The MOI India-specific page includes insurance for arrival, while Visit Qatar describes it as mandatory for stays over 30 days; confirm this discrepancy for a shorter trip and carry cover. Hayya Tourist Visa (A1) is a separate online option.

Transit Through Qatar

Transit conditions need confirmation. Check the airport, documents and connection conditions below before booking.

  • •Do not clear Qatar immigration

No entry visa is required for passengers remaining in transit on the same through flight or transferring to another flight at the same airport. Entering Doha uses the separate on-arrival or Hayya route.
