The Ministry of Public Health in Qatar has issued a reminder regarding the travel policy for entry into Qatar on 30 April 2022.

For visitors preparing to visit the State of Qatar, the Ministry of Public Health would like to remind citizens and residents of countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), the European Union (EU), and the United Kingdom (UK) to either download the Ehteraz mobile app when entering Qatar using an international SIM card or use one of the COVID-19 mobile apps listed below:

1. Bahrain: BeAware Bahrain
2. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Tawakkalna
3. Kuwait: Shlonik
4. Oman: Tarassud
5. United Arab Emirates: Al Hosn
6. European Union: EU Digital Covid Pass
7. United Kingdom: NHS COVID Pass

Travellers, both citizens and residents, presenting the approved apps from these countries and regions will be exempt from completing the pre-entry online registration. In addition, fully vaccinated (i.e., those who received a third COVID-19 shot or who had a second dose within the last 9 months) and recovered (within the last 12 months) travellers are not required to present a pre-travel RT-PCR test upon arrival.

However, they are still required to obtain a rapid antigen test at a private clinic in Qatar within 24 hours of arrival.

A pre-travel RT-PCR test is required for unvaccinated/non-immune travellers, in addition to a 5-day quarantine period.

For guidance on vaccination, home/hotel quarantine and COVID-19 test-related measures*, please refer to the current Travel Policy: https://covid19.moph.gov.qa/EN/travel-and-return-policy/Pages/default.aspx
