Indian-On Arrival Visa

My relativearrived qatar after 11th Nov

(ie on 17 December 2018...)

Please find below what he had:

1) Hotel booking for 3 days (Which had free cancellation... I cancelled after he arrive)

2) Debit card in his Name

3) Return ticket with 1 month gap

4)Passport valid for more than 6 months

Airport immigration in India asked for Both Hotel booking and Debit Card.....

In Qatar Immigration they asked which hotel you will be staying ? He quickly told the hotel name and they stamped visa for one month. (He had print out of Hotel booking..but they didnt ask for it)

Luckily I was able to extend visa for 2 Months.

Nationality: INDIAN

Thanks to Qatar

Hi, I have same question. What is the latest rule regarding hotel accommodation for a girl coming to stay with her father for one month? Do they allow her without hotel accommodation?

@arvind - One of my friend bring his parents (aged 60+) day before yesterday from Kerala through Cochin Airport on an on-arrival visa. Immigration Officer at Cochin Airport of course ask them the hotel booking but they replied that they are going to meet their son & family, so why should they book hotel? Eventually the officer had to agree that point & allowed them to travel. They reach Qatar safely & the authorities here did not ask anything regarding hotel booking or credit card. Unfortunately this crap rule was implemented only because of our Indian Government request I heard.

There is a new ammedment as per new rule..No need of credit card.. debit card is also valid.

It seems, according to the new rules compulsory requirements

1) hotel Booking

2) Credit card

3) return air ticket

4) only 30 days visit.
