The visa free program means that there is no need for visa application and visa fee for the affected travellers. At the point of entry, citizens from these 80 nations will be given a multi-entry waiver after showing their passport and a return ticket. The passport must be valid for six months before the traveller will be allowed to enter.

“Qatar is now visa-free for over 80 countries around the world,” says Group Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker of state-owned Qatar Airways.

“The change, which is effective immediately with no paperwork, no payment, and no visas,” Baker said

“Qatar is the most open country in the region. While some countries in the region have taken to closing their skies and their borders, Qatar has instead opened its borders to more freely welcoming visitors from all corners of the world and the change reflects Qatar’s outlook at “a historic time,” Baker added
