To qualify for visa-free entry into Qatar, Pakistani travelers must meet a few requirements:
- A Pakistani passport valid for at least six months
- A return ticket or onward travel confirmation
- Proof of hotel booking or accommodation in Qatar
- Proof of sufficient funds for the stay
- A clean criminal record
- A polio vaccination certificate if traveling directly from Pakistan
Qatar’s Growing Tourism Sector
Qatar is becoming a top travel destination, with a 28% increase in international visitors in the first half of 2024. Major events like the AFC Asian Cup have drawn millions of tourists, and the country is now making it easier for travelers from Pakistan to visit.
More Travel Opportunities for Pakistanis
Qatar isn’t the only country offering visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to Pakistani passport holders. Popular destinations like Kenya, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka also have easy entry policies, giving Pakistanis more travel options without the hassle of visa applications.
With simplified travel rules, Pakistanis can now explore Qatar for up to 30 days without worrying about visas.
