Qatar has scrapped its red list for travellers and cancelled quarantine requirements for foreign visitors as it prepares to host the 2022 World Cup in November.
Quarantine is no longer mandatory for all travellers arriving from abroad, however, travellers who test positive for COVID-19 after arriving in Qatar must undergo quarantine measures in accordance with the procedures followed in the State of Qatar.
However, travellers arriving in the Gulf country must bring a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test certificate with a negative result valid for 48 hours or a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) certificate valid for 24 hours, from the scheduled flight to the State of Qatar. Rapid antigen self-test is not valid for travel purposes.
Travellers must download the Ehteraz mobile app and activate it on their mobile phones using a local or international SIM card. They must register in the pre-entry online registration system through the website (www.ehteraz.gov.qa) within at least three (3) days before arrival.
These changes will come into effect on Sunday, 4 September at 6 PM Qatar time.
