Most visitors travelling to Qatar for tourism or business purposes require a visa. Whether a person needs to apply for a visa before arrival or can obtain one at the point of entry will depend on their nationality. Getting a visa for Qatar prior to arrival is fairly straightforward, and can be done via the Hukoomi website (the government’s official ePortal) or the Ministry of the Interior.
Those who wish to live and work in Qatar for the long term will be required to obtain a residence and work permit for Qatar.
