Have you purchased tickets for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ yet? After buying tickets, you need to apply for a Hayya Card, as it a mandatory requirement to be able to attend matches.
Hayya Card - Entry Permit
International fans entering Qatar for the tournament will also receive a separate entry permit along with their Hayya Card which will allow them to enter Qatar starting from 1 November 2022.
The entry permit will be a PDF document stating the entry and exit dates, along with personal details.
The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy has confirmed that the last date to enter Qatar with a Hayya entry permit will be 23 December 2022, and the last date to exit will be 23 January 2023.
The entry permit will be a requirement for international visitors regardless of purpose and will be the only means to enter from 1 November 2022 till 23 December 2022.
The regulation is also applicable to GCC nationals and GCC residents.
