In a press conference held by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy on 26 May 2022, it was announced that the Hayya Card for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 will now be digitalized.

The Hayya Digital Card will allow visitors to enter the country, use free transportation, and enter stadiums with ease. As per Saeed Al Kuwari, executive director of the Hayya platform, the Hayya Digital Card is also available in the physical form and can be collected at certain collection points however, a digital Hayya Card is sufficient.

International spectators of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 are required to obtain a Hayya Digital Card as it serves as the only entry permit to the host country. An approved Hayya is a prerequisite for all international visitors and Qatar nationals & residents for the duration of the tournament.

The Hayya Digital Card will be used for secure identification and stadium access for those with FIFA match tickets as well as access to free public transportation services such as the metro, bus, and taxis.

Citizens and residents need their ticket number, Qatar Id number and date of birth details to apply for the Hayya card, while visitors need ticket number, accommodation details and personal information. Once approved, the digital version of the fan id will be available in the Hayya mobile app.
