Hi M K, Housewives are required to travel with their husbands (with GCC ID). If your visa has been already approved, you can upload your approved visa to show that the husband has an approved profession. You can contact Hayya Support at info@hayya.qa or or (+974) 4441 2022 to clarify this.
Regards the insurance, I and family have thr UAE medical insurance. Is that enough or should I take another one. And, should I take insurance before applying visa? Please help. Thanks!
Hi Mohammed, Only very few international insurance companies are accepted for this purpose. To know if your insurance will be accepted, you will have to send an email with your insurance details to: contact@hukoomi.qa The easier option is to buy an insurance from any company listed on Qatar MOPH website (cost is QR 50 for 30 days). You can buy it after your visa is approved (before travel).
Hi my residency card does not have the expiry date displayed on it. I uploaded the residency card with a seperate document having the expiry date but the visa was rejected for not uploading the card properly. If I upload the residency card as is without the expiry being displayed, will my application be rejected?
Hi, if you don't have expiry on your card, you should upload another document that shows residence expiry. You can try uploading residence card and this document side by side, making sure both can be clearly read. If you already did that and it was rejected try uploading the card only.
Hi, It is safer to apply for a GCC Resident Visa (A2) in advance through the Hayya portal. Visa On Arrival is available for some professions only. You can call the Qatar Government helpline at 00974-4406 9999 to check this.
Hi, Sorry for the late reply. The accommodation name is only for your identification (in case you have multiple properties). You can use any name (like My home, Al Sadd home etc.)
I have applied for GCC resident visa A2 and got my visa approved on 19/06/23 but I have not received the visa through email..when I contacted Hayya support team and they have tried to resend but not received..so they have raised a ticket for me..but no update till today..it's is progress...one more thing when I open my hayya entry details my photo is not showing... kindly help me...I want to visit within 4-5 days..
Hi Rafi, Only Hayya Customer Care can do something. Please follow-up with them. Also please check your spam folder if the entry permit has been delivered.
Hi Krisha, if you are not using host family and friends option, please confirm with Hayya helpline as they have only mentioned Discover Qatar and Family Hosting as options for GCC Resident Visa.

Hi Kasun, You have to do it before applying for visa. If someone is hosting you then it should be done from their account before you apply for visa. If you are staying in hotel, you have to upload the booking details on your own account and then apply for vosa.
@@faizalat5777 Hi Faizal, For GCC Residents Visa On Arrival, you need a good profession (Engineers, Managers, Doctors etc.). If you are not sure if you will be approved, it is better to apply in advance online (as explained in the video). You don't have to worry if the visa is approved.
Thank you so much this video is really helpful. So I have a question. Iam from India and uae resident as well I want to go Qatar to meet my friend for 1 week. After that I’m I able to travel to my home country from Qatar for my vacation
Im here at kuwait working as a service crew , im planning to visit my friend in qatar , can we use the contract even if the name of my friend is not on it bcause thats her husband name. Also can i apply for gcc visa or should ill do visa on arrival . Thank you please notice me
Hi, Your friend's husband can invite you to stay as a guest. They will check the name of the person hosting and the name on the contract. if you have few more weeks to travel it is better to apply in advance, because that will make your entry easier and there will be no chance of rejection at the port of entry.
Pakistan passport holder can get free visa on arrival, but accommodation has to be hotel accommodation booked through Discover Qatar website. If you have a Qatar resident who can host you, you can apply for Hayya Tourist Visa (A1). Here are the details: www.dohaguides.com/how-to-apply-qatar-tourist-visa-online/
For Tourist Visa you have to apply in advance. If you have a host in Qatar, they can host you. Or else you need to book a hotel and upload booking details.
Our suggestion is not to complicate things unless your brother is a minor. Apply for his Hayya permit from his own (guest's) account. Hosting should be added from your (Qatar resident's) account. Since you have already applied it may be difficult to apply from another account with same passport number. So make another account for you and do hosting from there.
I am Indian resident of Saudi Arabia and my family is on visit visa so can we get visa on arrival if just with discover qatar hotel booking Without hayya approval?
Hi Sameer, Indian nationals can get visa on arrival if you have Discover Qatar booking.

If you are travelling soon, you can try visa on arrival.
