    Arrivals from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Sri Lanka

    All passengers arriving on flights originating from or transiting via Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines and Sri Lanka, will be required to stay at one of a specified group of hotels, for which you can use the search calendar on Discover Qatar website to check availability. Prices vary depending on the hotel chosen.

    The quarantine will be for a mandated period of 10 days. You will not be permitted to board your flight without a confirmed quarantine reservation.

    PCR test taken within 48 hours of the flight (negative result) departure must be presented at check-in to be able to board your flight.

    There are no exemptions from quarantine for those who have been vaccinated or have previously tested positive.
