What is the Qatar eVisa?
The Qatar eVisa is an electronic visa that allows travelers from eligible countries, including the Philippines, to apply for and receive a visa to enter Qatar through an online process.
This digital visa simplifies the application procedure, eliminating the need for physical visits to embassies or consulates. It's designed for short stays, catering primarily to tourists and short-term visitors. The eVisa system streamlines the application process, making it more convenient and accessible for travelers visiting Qatar.
The Qatar eVisa for Filipino citizens is a single-entry visa that allows a stay of up to 30 days per entry within its 90-day validity from the date of arrival, requiring a new application for each re-entry into Qatar.
To extend your Qatar eVisa, verify eligibility and apply online via the Ministry of Interior (MOI) portal, or in person at Hamad International Airport's Immigration Office or any MOI Service Center nationwide; details are available at www.moi.gov.qa.
Do citizens from the Philippines need the Qatar eVisa to enter the country?
Yes, travelers from the Philippines must have a Qatar eVisa to travel to Qatar for tourism purposes or to visit friends and family. They are not eligible for a visa waiver.
Upon arrival in Qatar, Filipino citizens with an approved eVisa can present a printed or electronic copy of their visa to the immigration authorities.
