Process
How to apply for a Qatar visa from Pakistan
Two ways to read this: what we do for you, and what the Qatar process involves. Most refusals we see come from files people assembled alone.
With Travel Visa Pk
15+ years of experience, one adviser from first message to departure. This is what applying for a Qatar visa through us looks like.
- Step 1
Tell us your case
One message on WhatsApp or a visit to Blue Area: your job, your travel dates and who is going.
- Step 2
Free document check
We check what you already have against the current official list and tell you what is missing. No charge, no obligation.
- Step 3
We build the file
Cover letter, sponsor and employment papers, bank statement explanation, translations and the forms, prepared the way the embassy expects to see them.
- Step 4
Appointment and fees
We book the slot, tell you the exact fee to pay on the day and brief you on what happens at the centre.
- Step 5
Review, submit, track
A second adviser reviews the file before submission, then we track it until the decision.
- Step 6
After approval
Tickets, hotel, insurance and transfers arranged in one place, so your trip is not five separate bookings.
What the official Qatar process involves
- 1
Send your passport copy, a recent photo and your travel dates on WhatsApp, or bring them to our Blue Area office.
- 2
We check your documents and help you complete the Hayya Tourist Visa (A1) application.
- 3
Hayya reviews the application online; the portal does not publish a fixed processing time, so we recommend applying as early as possible before travel.
- 4
You receive your Hayya approval by email. Carry a printed or downloaded copy with your passport when you travel.
Where the application is submitted
- Hayya Portal: Tourist Visa (A1) online applicationApply online before you travel. Because visa-on-arrival status for Pakistani nationals is currently unresolved, we recommend the Hayya e-visa over counting on arrival processing.
We book the appointment, prepare the file and tell you exactly what to carry on the day.
Common mistakes we fix before you submit
- Relying on getting a visa on arrival at Doha airport. Multiple reports since March 2026 say this has been restricted for Pakistani nationals, and neither government has formally confirmed the current status — apply for the Hayya e-visa before you fly instead.
- Booking non-refundable flights before your Hayya approval comes through.
- Travelling without a confirmed hotel booking or host arrangement, which Hayya requires.
- Letting your passport validity fall under 3 months from your arrival date.

FAQs
Qatar visa FAQs
What documents are required for a Qatar visit visa from Pakistan?
For the Hayya Tourist Visa (A1), you need a passport valid for at least 3 months from your arrival date, a confirmed hotel booking (through Discover Qatar or a valid host arrangement), and a completed Hayya online application. We help you prepare and check these before you apply.
How much is the Qatar visa price in Pakistan?
It depends on the visa type you need (tourist visa (a1)) and on your documents, so we quote each file for free on WhatsApp before you pay anything. Any government or embassy fee is separate; your adviser confirms the current amount before you pay.
What is the Qatar visa fee for Pakistanis?
Hayya sets its own fee for the Tourist Visa (A1), paid once your application is approved. Your adviser confirms the current government fee and our separate service fee before you pay anything.
Can Pakistanis still get a Qatar visa on arrival?
This is currently unclear. Multiple reports since March 2026 say Qatar has restricted visa-on-arrival for Pakistani nationals, but as of mid-September 2026 Pakistan's Foreign Office says it has not received official confirmation from Qatar and stops short of calling it a formal ban. Because the situation is unresolved, we recommend applying for the Hayya e-visa online before you travel rather than counting on arrival processing.
How long does the Hayya visa take to process?
Hayya does not publish a fixed processing time on its official portal. Apply as early as you can before your travel date, and avoid booking non-refundable flights until your visa is approved.
How long can I stay in Qatar on a Hayya Tourist Visa?
Your exact stay period is confirmed on your Hayya approval when it's issued. Check this before you book your return flight.
Do I need a hotel booking to apply for a Qatar visa?
Yes. Hayya requires a confirmed hotel booking, which you can make through the official Discover Qatar platform, or a valid host arrangement if you're staying with someone in Qatar.
Is there a Qatar embassy in Islamabad?
Yes, in the Diplomatic Enclave, Sector G-5/4. However, the Hayya Tourist Visa (A1) is applied for entirely online — you do not need to visit the embassy for a standard tourist visa.
What if Qatar's visa-on-arrival policy changes again?
We monitor official announcements from Qatar and Pakistan's Foreign Office and update this page once the situation is confirmed either way. Last checked 22 Sep 2026.
