Qatar has restricted the entry of all travelers except for Qatari nationals, their travelling companions, immediate family members of nationals, those with a permanent resident card or other exceptionally approved visa holders. Travelers with a sponsored work permit/employment visa may also return to Qatar. Nationals of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates are allowed to enter state of Qatar using their passports under same conditions as Qatari nationals according to the country they are travelling from. Their sponsored companions who are holding Qatari resident permit are also allowed to return to Qatar without the need for an exceptional entry permit, as long as they are traveling with their sponsors on same flight.

Travelers returning to Qatar must take a coronavirus test and thermal screening on arrival. All residents arriving after December 22 on flights originating in the UK will be required to stay at one of two dedicated hotels for their quarantine period: Intercontinental Doha Hotel or Mercure Grand Doha and must be booked in Discover Qatar website. Arrivals from countries that are not included in the list of low-risk countries and in which COVID-19 testing centers have been accredited are required to obtain a virus-free certificate from there no more than 48 hours before traveling. Check MOPH website for the current list. If no accredited testing centers are available, they may arrive in Qatar but they are required to quarantine in a hotel, at their own expense. Travelers must have a quarantine hotel reservation made at www.discoverqatar.qa for a duration of 7 days. Travelers from a low-risk country and have been in that country for at least 1 week will be allowed to travel to Qatar and home quarantine. Travelers with temporary residence permit and personal visit visa holders must first send a request to return through the Qatar Portal website. Once approved, check the "Type of Quarantine" stated on the certificate. If this states "Hotel" then book a quarantine package hotel from Discover Qatar. They must have a copy of Exceptional Entry Permit and Discover Qatar Hotel Voucher, as well as flight documents when they check-in for flight. Dates for arrival and hotel check-in must match. Downloading Qatar’s track and trace app, Ehteraz, is mandatory for everyone in Qatar. Travelers may be asked to show the app upon arrival. There is a daily limit on arrivals entering Qatar and demand is extremely high.

Depending on country of origin, travelers will either be required to self-isolate at home for a period of 7 days, or go into a self-funded quarantine for 7 days, followed by 7 days self-isolation at home. Travelers who cannot self-isolate from home, can alternatively book a 14 night welcome home quarantine package instead. Visit Discover Qatar website for more information. A list of quarantine exemptions can be found at Qatar Airways Holidays website. Travelers returning from one of the countries on the COVID-19 Green List are eligible for home quarantine. Check MOPH website for the current list. Travelers are subject to medical screening on arrival.

Transit passengers traveling on to another destination can still transfer through Qatar, and many flights continue to operate. You should check with your airline or travel company for the latest information if you are planning to leave or transit through Qatar. Flights are subject to change or cancellation at short notice. Whilst in transit at Hamad International Airport, travelers will receive regular thermal screening and temperature checks.
