How Pakistanis Can Travel To Qatar Without A Visa?
Various news are circulating on social media, which are difficult for the common man to verify.
Similarly, news is circulating these days that Pakistanis can go to Qatar without a visa
. This news is true, but for how long and for what purpose they can go, all these things are not clear.
To find out in this regard, ‘Private News’ spoke to some visa consultants and travel agents and tried their best to find out what is required to go without a visa.
Vice Chairman of Overseas Employment Promoters Association Muhammad Adnan Paracha said in this regard that first of all, it should be clear that those people who think that they can go to Qatar without a visa to find a job are suffering from a misunderstanding. This is not the case at all.
This facility has been given by the Qatari government to Pakistanis only for sightseeing and tourism.
He further said that this visa is usually used by the business community or professionals who are going for any interview or meeting.
This is a ‘visa on arrival’ that you get upon reaching Qatar. Only in this case can any Pakistani stay there for a maximum period of thirty days.
However, for this, you must have a return ticket. Hotel reservations for the number of days you want to spend in Qatar should be confirmed in advance.
While a polio vaccine card is also required. To another question, he said that for this, the person traveling also has to check his bank account.
People wishing to travel to Qatar should have about five thousand Qatari riyals in their account. Adnan Paracha further said that Pakistanis have not yet received this facility but were given it by the Qatari government in 2022.
Which is mostly used by people from the business community or those going sightseeing.
Travel agent Junaid Yusuf said that to travel to Qatar without a visa, the traveler must have a confirmed return ticket and a confirmed hotel booking. And for this, it is also necessary to book a hotel in Qatar from a website called ‘Discover Qatar’.
Another travel agent, Muhammad Farhad, while talking about this, said that Qatar’s visa on arrival is a great opportunity for Pakistanis,
But for this, all the documents of the person traveling must be complete. He said that it is especially necessary to have a hotel booking and a return ticket.
In addition, sometimes the Qatari authorities can also do additional checks, so it is advised that people who intend to visit Qatar should confirm all their requirements so that they do not face any problems.
This facility can be taken advantage of only for tourism or business, and not for employment purposes.
