Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Visa-free entryYou can travel to Qatar without a visa for short stays. No visa required for Uzbek citizens | Citizens of Uzbekistan do not need a visa for stays of up to 30 days in Qatar for tourism or business. Entry is visa-free, so no prior application is needed. | Not required |
| Passport validityYour passport must not expire within 6 months of your arrival date. At least 6 months from arrival | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of arrival in Qatar. Ensure your passport meets this requirement before traveling. | Required |
| Blank passport pagesQatar immigration will stamp your passport, so you need a blank page. At least 1 blank page | Your passport must have at least 1 blank page for entry and exit stamps. It is recommended to have more than one blank page to avoid issues. | Required |
| Return or onward ticketImmigration may ask to see your outbound flight booking. Proof of departure | You may be asked to show a confirmed return or onward ticket proving you will leave Qatar before the end of your visa-free stay. Have this ready at check-in and upon arrival. | Required |
| Proof of accommodationHaving a booking or host details helps show your stay is arranged. Hotel booking or host address | Be prepared to provide proof of accommodation, such as a hotel reservation or the address of your host in Qatar, if requested by immigration. | Recommended |
| Proof of sufficient fundsCarry cash or a bank statement to prove you can support yourself. Financial means for stay | You may be required to show evidence of sufficient funds to cover your expenses during your stay in Qatar. This is not always requested but can be asked. | Recommended |
| Arrival declarationYou can proceed directly to immigration without a separate declaration. Not required | No arrival declaration is required for Uzbekistan citizens entering Qatar. You do not need to fill out any arrival form. | Not required |
| E-visa applicationSkip the e-visa process for short visits. Not applicable | Since entry is visa-free, no e-visa application is needed. Do not apply for an e-visa unless you plan to stay longer than 30 days or your purpose of visit is not covered by the visa-free regime. | Not required |
No visa needed, but don't overstay
Your 30-day visa-free entry starts the day you arrive. Mark the date on your calendar — overstaying even by a day can lead to fines and future entry problems.
Passport validity is critical
Qatar enforces the 6-month validity rule. If your passport expires sooner, you'll be turned away at the airport. Check your passport now, not at the gate.
