Qatar Requires Visa Fees for 11 European Nations

Qatar has released a list of 11 European countries and territories whose nationals are required to pay a fee for a visa on arrival or apply for a tourist visa before traveling to the Gulf nation. The fee is set at QAR 100 (₦36,494) based on the current exchange rate.

The countries and territories included in this list are Åland Islands, Albania, Belarus, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, Montenegro, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, and the Holy See (Vatican City). The list features several autonomous and semi-dependent territories, such as Guernsey, Jersey, and the Isle of Man, which are British Crown dependencies, as well as the Faroe Islands, a self-governing territory of Denmark.

Travellers from these nations can either obtain the visa upon arrival or apply in advance through the Hayya platform, Qatar's official travel and visa portal, with both options carrying the same fee. Qatar operates a tiered entry system, allowing nationals of other countries to enjoy visa-free access.
