The Indian Embassy in Qatar tweeted that new travel guidelines will come into effect from 1200 noon Doha time from 2 August for visitors from Indian and some other countries.
1. Resident Permit holder and fully vaccinated in Qatar with MOPH approved vaccines or recovered from COVID-19 in Qatar to undergo 2 days hotel quarantine. RTPCR test conducted on day 2 and if negative, allowed to go home.
2. Resident Permit holders vaccinated outside Qatar or not vaccinated or recovered from Covid outside Qatar - 10 days compulsory hotel quarantine.
3. Visitors (family, tourist, work) vaccinated outside Qatar with MOPH recognized vaccines - 10 days compulsory hotel quarantine.
4. Visitors (family visits, tourists, business) who are not vaccinated are not allowed entry to Qatar.
Indian embassy urged everyone to regularly visit the MoPH website for updates and also check with airlines before traveling to Qatar to avoid inconvenience.
The ILQ team checked the MoPH's website at 1 pm (30 July 2021) and it is not updated with this information yet and we have reached out for clarification (via their official Twitter and Instagram pages) about this announcement at 1:21 pm (30 July 2021) and haven’t received a response yet.
As soon as we hear back from them we will update the news.
Our advice is to follow the MoPH guidelines and to call the relevant entity or authority before travel to ensure you have the most up-to-date information.
You can find all of their return and travel info on their website here https://covid19.moph.gov.qa/EN/travel-and-return-policy/Pages/default.aspx
