For TOURIST VISA, you can go directly at the immigration for application.

The easiest and fastest visa you can get is HOTEL VISA (5working days) in which the guest will be under the hotel sponsorship and that he/she will only stay in the same hotel for the whole period while he/she is in Doha and is not allowed to check in to a different hotel or stay with a friend's place.

HOTEL VISA FEE depends on which hotel the guest is booked. Mostly it ranges from QR250-350 per visa and is valid as per the number of nights the guest is booked in the hotel.

Below are the list of countries which can avail visa upon arrival. Countries not listed below must provide visa prior to their arrival.

Andora, Germany, Monaco, Switzerland,

Austria, Greece, Netherlands, USA,

Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Vatican,

Belgium, Ice Land, Norway,

Brunei, Ireland, Portugal,

Canada, Italy, San Marino,

Denmark, Japan, Singapore,

England, Liechenstein, South Korea,

Finland, Luxemberg, Spain,

France, Malaysia, Sweden,

Also, guest must have at least QR5000 in cash or equivalent to any major credit card upon arrival at the airport to show that as tourist he/she is capable to support himself/herself for visit.

To obtain a Tourist Visa go to Airport Immigration, attached a copy of your Passport and the visitors' passport, fill up the form then go to window 5 for verification and pay QR 100, this visa is valid for 3 months and the visitor can stay for 1 month only.

It also depends what nationality the tourist is, some nationalities can purchase a month long tourist visa at the airport for 100 riyals.

Hello Jarin, is this visa for a female or male? as for single girl it's bit harder even through hotel. Else you can try from any good hotel such as Ramada, Movenpick, Sofitel ets.. and yah you have to have a stay there too. The Tourist visa is normally of 14 days which can be further extended to 14 days that all.

Hope this above info would be helpful to you.

Cheers!

You can go to a hotel in Doha and reserve for 2-3 nights. They will issue the visa
