✈️ Iraqi passport holders need a Qatar visa before flying. There is no visa on arrival. The whole application is online through the Hayya platform, it comes back in 1 to 3 business days, and it costs only QAR 100 (about $27).

  • ✅ Passport style photo on a light background
  • ✅ Hotel booking, or the address of your host in Qatar
  • ✅ Return flight ticket
  • ✅ Travel insurance (required if you are staying 30 days or more)

🚀 How to apply

  1. Create an account on the Hayya platform
  2. Fill in your details and upload your documents
  3. Wait for pre approval, usually 1 to 3 business days
  4. Pay QAR 100 through the link emailed to you
