A Hayya Card is much more than a permission document. It is the new Qatari way of travel that embraces not only convenience but modern technology, allowing an easy visa application procedure and a more enhanced travel experience.
Coming to Qatar to play sports, run a business or have a good time, the Hayya Card provides you with the key to explore everything that this vibrant country has to offer. That is the entire guide that can help one obtain a Hayya Card.
The Hayya Card is the multi-purpose travel permit that was first presented to FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 attendees. It is included in a digital (mobile app) and print (card) kit and has since become an effective visa that accelerates the application process for visitors to Qatar.
After being approved via the Hayya Platform, tourists can receive their digital card to facilitate convenient entry to Doha. This latest technology not only makes it easier to get involved in the visa process but also changes the travelling experience, and the Hayya card is a nice passport to everything Qatar has to offer.
To start with, go to the official Hayya Qatar site. It will take just a few clicks to find it when searching for the term Hayya Qatar Portal.
Once logged in, tap the button “Apply for a new Hayya” in order to start filling in your visa application.
You have to select the journey beginning, which means that you are traveling to Qatar by flying or driving.
If you are resident then select GCC Recident visa (A2), if not then select Toursit visa (A1).
Provide your cell phone number and a backup contact.
Once you are approved, the Hayya Entry Permit will be sent to your email. You are able to print this permit or utilize the online version during your travel.
Checking your MOI Qatar visa status on the MOI portal or QVC portal should be done when you are planning your work, business, or tourist trip to Qatar.
In case you are traveling to Qatar with a Hayya Card, get a brief idea of the main requirements and application process.
When applying for a Hayya Card, you will require a passport, which must be valid at least three months after your arrival date in Qatar.
The application requires a high-quality passport-size photograph, which is required to be of recent origin.
If you have already applied to receive a GCC Resident Entry Visa or an Entry Visa with ETA, you need to upload a Residence Permit (RP) or Residence Visa copy to the Hayya portal.
After the successful processing of your Hayya application, you will be issued with a Hayya Entry Permit that will have all the travel requirements. This document should be handed over when coming to Qatar.
Qatar demands that every visitor to Qatar must possess tourist health insurance with a licensed provider that is approved with the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH).
The typical insurance package is a 30-day insurance that would cost QR 50.
After gathering all the needed documents, all you have to do is to submit your application on the official Hayya portal. Once approved, you can enter Qatar without any trouble because you will get your Hayya Entry Permit.
In case you want to travel to Qatar, you will be able to fill out an application for one of the new Hayya visa categories, provided that you are eligible. These are the options available:
It is a visa granted to travelers visiting Qatar as tourists or on short visits.
A free transit visa is granted in case you travel through Qatar.
Designed with the inhabitants of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in mind willing to travel to Qatar.
This visa can be applied to visitors who hold a valid Schengen, US, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and UK visa or residency.
Under this exceptional initiative, a Hayya 2022 cardholder can invite international visitors to Qatar as international guests up to a maximum of three guests.
Freelancers are also allowed to work in Qatar but through a Qatar Freelance Visa.
To the majority of Hayya admission permits, 30 30-day provision is given starting the day of issuance.
Hayya With Me is a multi-entry visa that will allow the visitor to enter Qatar several times up until January 10, 2024, and the last day of the stay period is January 23, 2024.
The Hayya Entry Visa costs QAR 100 (and may be free of charge depending on the country) when applied to the majority of visa types. At the same time, you can access the Hayya With Me option, which is free of charge when you have a valid coupon.
The rule is that the Hayya Card is accepted in 2-4 days. As correctly noted by the relevant officials in April 2023, the response time could be cut down to less than 48 hours in some cases.
Failure to carefully scan your photograph will result in rejection of your application. You will now have to reapply with a scanned photo. To have extra help, you should always contact the Hayya hotline.
After your application is approved, you are able to simply obtain your Hayya Card in a digital format using the Hayya mobile app. The only thing you will have to use and get the benefits and services is this digital card.
The first step in getting your digital card is downloading the app called Hayya to Qatar. It can be downloaded to both systems:
iOS: Get it in the App Store.
Android: Download it from Google Play.
It no longer requires physical cards. All of the available services can be accessed through the digital card in the application and will not require the presence of a paper card.
Just in case you have any problems with your digital card or processing delays, you are only one call or email away from someone can assist you. For support:
