Qatar Airways introduced this month a new online system for applying for tourist visas to Qatar. The service is available for passengers flying with Qatar Airways and can be accessed on their official website. Only one-month single-entry tourist visas are available and the visa must be used within 60 days from the date of issue. The validity of the visa and the visa period cannot be extended.
“The new system eases the process of applying for a tourist visa to Qatar for eligible passengers. It also provides passengers with the convenience of tracking their visa application status online,” said a Qatar Airways spokesperson.
A few simple steps are all that’s needed for passengers to apply online. It takes approximately 10 days to process the visa and the cost is US$ 55 per person. The option to fast-track the application is available at a cost of US$ 120 per person and takes approximately seven days to process. The visa application fees are non-refundable.
