How much is one day of overstay in Qatar?

Staying beyond the validity period of a Qatar visa can lead to serious consequences and complications. All regulations must be strictly followed. Once a tourist visa expires, a fine of 200 Qatari Riyals (QAR) per day applies, and no extension or renewal is permitted.

The overstay fine starts running from the day after the visa expiration and continues until the time of departure. Compulsory payment needs to be settled prior to departing Qatar. Guests can make payments either at the airport terminals or through the Ministry of Interior’s website and the Metrash2 mobile app.

Residents and sponsored workers are subject to different overstay penalties compared to tourist visa holders. The consequences of visa overstaying include problems with future immigration applications together with travel limits and maybe additional entry clearance requirements.

To avoid penalties, travelers should regularly check their visa status and request necessary extensions. Online platforms and the Ministry of Interior website allow foreign visitors to extend their tourist visas. Not all visa types are eligible for extension.

All users should check the latest rules on Qatar Immigration Service websites. No matter the reason for visiting Qatar all travelers must stay only within their approved time windows thus avoiding extra expenses from overstay penalties and travel challenges.
