Frequently asked questions
Typically 2–5 business days. Apply at least a week before your trip to be safe. Processing times can vary, so don't leave it to the last minute.
No, the eVisa is not extendable. You must leave before it expires. If you need a longer stay, you'd need to apply for a different visa type before your current one runs out.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your entry date. If it's less, renew your passport before applying for the eVisa. The application will be rejected otherwise.
It's strongly recommended. While a digital copy on your phone may work, having a printed backup avoids issues if your phone battery dies or the screen is hard to read. Print it before you leave.
It's not officially required for the visa application, but immigration may ask for proof of insurance on arrival. Even if they don't, it's a smart idea — medical costs in Qatar are high.
No. You must have a return or onward ticket booked. Immigration will ask to see it. A screenshot on your phone is acceptable, but have it ready.
You'll receive a rejection email with a reason. Common causes include incorrect passport details, insufficient validity, or missing documents. You can reapply after fixing the issue. There's no appeal process, so double-check everything before submitting.
