Qatar’s border has been reopened to international travellers who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 without the need to quarantine.
The relaxation of the rules comes as the Gulf state prepares for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
All visitors – vaccinated or non-vaccinated – will be required to undertake a PCR test up to 72 hours prior to travel.
However, Qatar Tourism advised people to check the entry requirements of the country they are travelling from and return to before booking flights “and should understand that those policies can change with very little notice”.
International visitors, citizens and residents must register and upload required documentation such as a vaccination certificate, valid PCR test up to 72 hours prior to travel, and personal details through the ‘Ehteraz’ website.
Travellers have to apply for the authorisation through the website at least 12 hours before departure to Qatar.
