Pending accommodation? Hayya Cards can be validated through the options of staying with friends & family, match-day shuttle services or accommodation bookings via a third party.

Hayya Cards are mandatory for entry to Qatar from 1 November 2022 and for match attendance along with match tickets.

Hayya Card as entry permit for international fans

International fans entering Qatar for the tournament will be receiving a separate entry permit along with their Hayya Card which will allow them to enter Qatar starting from 1 November 2022.

Those with approved International Hayya Cards will be receiving the entry permit to their registered email addresses. The entry permit will be a PDF document which will state 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.
