Do not ignore useful tips for Hungarians from Qatar Immigration Services

• Act promptly, don't delay; apply for your Qatar visa at least one week before your trip.
• Following the regulations, once your Qatar visa is approved, it will be electronically linked to your national passport. Ensure that only your passport is used during the visa application process. In case of a lost or stolen passport, unfortunately, you will need to reapply for a new visa.
• Each visa is valid for one month. However, if you hold a valid passport from countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Schengen countries, Australia, or New Zealand, you can apply for a two-month visa.
• If you plan to stay in Qatar for a period exceeding 30 days or for purposes other than tourism, the Qatar e-Visa may not be suitable. We highly recommend contacting the Qatar Embassy in Hungary to explore alternative options.
• Plan your Qatar visa travel, apply, and make payments with precision. Any changes made after payment will be considered a new visa application.
• Organize your Qatar visa trip, submit your application, and process payments carefully. Any modifications made after payment will be seen as a new visa application.
• Do not stay longer than allowed in Qatar, as there are large fines for every night you overstay, which are 200 QAR, about $55, and those who break this rule will be banned in Qatar.
• You can simply check your visa status by using the "Check Qatar Visa Status" option on the Qatar Immigration Services website.
• While travel insurance is not required for a visa, it is strongly recommended for your trip abroad.
• When flying in, Hamad International Airport in Doha is the main gateway to Qatar.
