They are rejecting my wife’s application for gcc resident visa saying I have to show occupation on her gcc ID. I chose house wife and it is mentioned on her ID but they insist on showing occupation. Please guide
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.
Hi , i have got entry visa for 30 days and i choose accomodation as hotel but i want to stay with my friend.
Please advise is it mandatory to book hotel
And what about health insurance my stay will be for 9 days only so do i need health insurance
Hi DG. Can Indians with age over 60 years also apply through this new updated option under tourist visa A1. please advise
Yes, there is no age limit.
Thank you for the video.. what will i put in accommodation name? If we will choose rented apartment? I will put rented apartment?
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.)
Do i need to book hotel from discover qatar or any other platform is acceptable because I got discount in other hotel which is not included in discover qatar
Any platform is OK for GCC Residents Visa.
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.
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.
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
Hi Srikanth, Sorry for the late reply. You can leave to India directly from Qatar. No problem.
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).
Thank you for the clarification.
Hi can we book hotel from other sites? thanks we are coming from the uae
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.
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.
How to book hotel booking?
Any link please mention
We are planing to come Qatar by road
Hi Shajahan, if you are applying for the GCC Resident Visa through Hayya website, either a Qatar resident can host you or you can book a hotel through Discover Qatar website.
Hi ,
I have applied Hayya for my brother (UAE resident) from my Hayya account is it okey or should create an account form him ? Please help
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.
DO i need to upload my accomodation confirmation before complete the application or after the application submission? its not clear in video. However after my first application rejection I edited and resubmitted. But website is not allowing me to enter the accommodation details & its showing that " No application found". Please advise
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.
Is there any iqama profession category for On arrival visa to qatar
@@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.

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 after one week, it is better to apply for tourist visa (A1) in advance so that you don't have to worry if you will be allowed entry or not. A1 visa is free for Indians. If you are travelling soon, you can try visa on arrival.

My payment is unsuccessful so many times i try to payment 100 QR. What is the solution ?

@@zakriaimranzaki7544 Insurance should be taken through a provider in Qatar. They are listed on www.moph.gov.qa/english

Pakistani passport holder is visa fees free entry or not i hear that holding Pakistani passport there no visa fee is that true
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/
@@dohaguides so we do not need to get e visa through haya site we don't have host in Qatar we need to book accommodation
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.
Plz answer me if we are going from Saudia but as Pakistani passport holder we are eligible for on arrival visa. Do we still need hayya approval?
Hi, If you are entering using Pakistan passport (regular visa on arrival), you will need Discover Qatar hotel booking. If you are staying with family or any other hotel, it is better to apply for GCC Resident Entry (A2) through Hayya. If the traveller is not GCC Resident, he can apply for Tourist Entry (A1).
Can we extend Tourist visa?
Hi Ashoo, Currently it is not mentioned anywhere. Hayya helpline said you need to exit and apply for new visa. May be they will add that option later.
Reason for rejection : Please provide a two side image of the GCC ID showing the occupation and validity
Please support here
Hi i am a gcc resident me and my daughter want to visit qatar to meet my sister but i am house wife and want to travel alone can i travel alone with my daughter
Hi @aroosawahid718, Please check with the Qatar Government Helpline at +974-44069999 or contact@hukoomi.qa. If they say it is possible, apply for A2 visa through Hayya Portal. Visa on arrival may not work with housewife profession
My wife is on family visa in oman, can she travel to qatar alone as a gcc resident
And i will go with her on work permit visa for qatar
Hi, She cannot get GCC Resident Visa because she is a visitor in Oman. You have to upload your Oman ID while applying. She will need to apply for Qatar Tourist Visa.
@@dohaguides she is also a gcc resident as in family resident.
