Qatar Sets New Visa Requirements for Iranian Business Travelers

Qatar has officially announced the conditions that Iranian nationals must fulfill to qualify for a visa on arrival for business purposes. According to the Qatari Ministry of Interior, applicants must possess at least 5,000 Qatari riyals (approximately N1,820,951) or a valid credit card covering this amount.

The visa allows multiple entries and is initially valid for 30 days, with the possibility of extending the stay for an additional five months. Other requirements include a return ticket, a confirmed hotel reservation for the entire visit, an invitation letter from a registered company in Qatar, and a passport with a validity exceeding six months at the time of travel.

The visa fee is set at 200 Qatari riyals. This arrangement is specifically designed for business travelers, providing them with greater flexibility compared to standard short-stay visas.
