Pakistani passport holders can now enter Qatar without a visa and remain for up to 30 days, thanks to a new policy. The goal of this action is to facilitate travel and encourage tourism between the two nations.
Who Needs a Visa to Travel?
- Pakistani visitors must fulfil several conditions to be eligible for visa-free entrance into Qatar:
- A passport from Pakistan that is good for at least six months
- Confirmation of further travel or a return ticket
- Evidence of a hotel reservation or lodging in Qatar
- Evidence of having enough money for the stay
- A spotless criminal history
- A certificate of polio immunization if departing straight from Pakistan
Qatar’s Expanding Travel Industry
With a 28% rise in foreign tourists in the first half of 2024, Qatar is becoming a popular travel destination. Millions of tourists have been drawn by major events like the AFC Asian Cup, and the nation is now facilitating travel from Pakistan.
Additional Travel Possibilities for Pakistanis
Pakistani passport holders can enter other countries without a visa or with a visa upon arrival, not just Qatar. Easy entrance requirements for well-known locations like Kenya, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka also give Pakistanis more travel possibilities without requiring them to apply for visas.
Pakistanis can now visit Qatar for up to 30 days without obtaining a visa because of streamlined travel regulations.
