How do I apply for a Qatar visa?
- 1
Confirm you need the A1 e-visa, not visa on arrival
Qatar gives visa on arrival to citizens of many other countries, which leads some Bangladeshi travellers to assume it applies to them too. It doesn't: visitqatar.com lists Bangladesh under 'visa required' and points to the A1 e-visa on Hayya.
- 2
Book a hotel before you apply
A hotel reservation is required during the A1 application process, per visitqatar.com, so arrange this before starting the Hayya application.
- 3
Apply on the Hayya platform
Go to hayya.qa or the Hayya mobile app and complete the Hayya Journey questionnaire about how you're entering Qatar and where you're staying; this routes you to the A1 Tourist Visa application.
- 4
Submit and pay the QAR 100 fee
Complete the online application and pay the stated QAR 100 fee. Whether payment happens before or after approval isn't stated on the official pages read, so follow whatever the portal itself asks for at the time.
- 5
Save your e-visa before you fly
Once issued, save or print the e-visa/entry permit to carry with your passport for check-in and arrival in Doha.
What else do people ask about the Qatar visa?
No. Qatar gives visa on arrival to citizens of many other countries, which is why some Bangladeshi travellers assume it, but visitqatar.com lists Bangladesh under 'visa required' and directs applicants to apply for the A1 e-visa on the Hayya portal instead.
QAR 100 for the A1 tourist e-visa, per visitqatar.com, paid through the Hayya portal. No service charge, biometrics fee or express-processing fee is confirmed on an official page beyond this figure.
Yes. visitqatar.com states that a hotel reservation is required during the A1 application process, so book this before starting the application on the Hayya portal.
This isn't stated on an official Qatar page, so no figure is published here. Unofficial sites quote anything from a few days to a few weeks, which is too inconsistent to repeat as fact — FlyNext confirms current timelines when you apply.
Qatar offers a transit visa at the Discover Qatar Transit Desk at Hamad International Airport for passengers with a minimum 6-hour layover, and a 4-day transit visa for those wanting to stay longer. The fee and whether Bangladeshi passengers are treated the same as other nationalities aren't confirmed on an official page for this route, so check with Discover Qatar directly.
This isn't confirmed on an official page for the standard A1 tourist route. The hotel reservation is the requirement that visitqatar.com states clearly; no separate sponsor requirement is mentioned for tourists applying through Hayya.
No. Only the embassy, high commission or immigration authority decides whether a visa is granted, so no agency can honestly guarantee it. What we do is make sure your application is complete, consistent and matches the official checklist, which removes the most common reasons for refusal. Be wary of anyone who promises a guaranteed visa for an extra payment.
Yes. Send us the refusal letter and the documents you submitted. We look at the reason the embassy gave, such as weak financial proof, an unclear travel purpose or missing papers, and fix that before you apply again. Reapplying with the same file usually brings the same result. Tell the embassy about the earlier refusal whenever the form asks: hiding it can lead to a longer ban.
Embassy requirements can change at any time. Contact us to confirm the latest checklist before you apply.
