Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy had launched the “Hayya With Me” (1+3) feature in 2022, allowing international fans with match tickets and approved Hayya Cards to bring up to three non-ticket holders.
This article will explain how Hayya Card holders can bring guests (friends and family members) using the “Hayya With Me (1+3)” by sending them Hayya With Me voucher code.
NOTE: The below article has been updated with new requirements for 2024.
10 FEBRUARY 2024 Update: The deadline for entry under the Hayya With Me (C) scheme came to a close on February 10, 2024. The last date of stay in Qatar will be February 24, 2024.
What is ‘Hayya With Me’
Hayya With Me is a feature that allowed a match ticket holder to invite up to 3 non-ticketed guests to enter Qatar during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. Hayya With Me allowed non-ticketed guests, such as relatives or friends, to enter Qatar and enjoy the festivities, including fan zones, concerts etc. However, they cannot attend any matches without a match ticket.
The Hayya With Me feature is back in 2023, and allows international fans to bring up to 3 friends and family members (who do not have Hayya Card).
If you are a Hayya card holder looking to visit Qatar, please check our guide on how to visit Qatar using Hayya Card in 2024.
Can all Hayya Card holders bring non-ticket fans?
This feature is only available to international fans aged 18 or above who applied using a match ticket number. They should also have confirmed accommodation and approved Hayya Card. Qatar residents are not eligible for this feature.
Is this feature free for international fans?
In 2022, there was a fee of QR 500 per non-ticketed fan above 12 years. Children below 12 years could be added free of cost. The good news is that currently, there is no fee for Hayya With Me. It is issued completely free of cost.

How Hayya Card Holders Can Bring Non-Ticket Holders
The process to invite non-ticket holders will be a two-stage process.
Stage 1: To be done by the Hayya Card holder
The first stage should be done by the Hayya card holder as follows:
Step 1: Log in to your Hayya account
You should use the same email and password that you used for creating the account in 2022.
Step 2: Select ‘My Hayya’ and click ‘Action’
Step 3: Select ‘Hayya with Me’
Hayya With Me option will be shown as a drop-down menu. The Hayya Card application should already be approved for this feature.
Step 4: You can see three voucher codes
These are your “Hayya With Me Voucher Codes”.
Step 5: These voucher codes should be given to non-ticketed guests
Please note that each guest needs a different “Hayya With Me Voucher Code”. Multiple guests cannot use the same code.
Stage 2: To be done by the guest
The second stage should be done by the guest (friend or family member) as follows:
Step 1: Create a Hayya Account and Login
- Go to the Hayya Portal.
- Click “Apply For Hayya”.
- If you don’t have an account, sign up here using your email ID.
- Once your email ID is confirmed, log in using the same email ID and password.
Step 2: Click on “Apply for Hayya”
This option is available on the top menu.
Step 3: From ‘Applicant Category’, select ‘Hayya with Me (C)’
Step 4: Enter the voucher code received from the Hayya Card holder
This should be the “Hayya With Me Voucher Code” received during the first stage explained earlier.
Step 5: Click on ‘Validate my Voucher’
The system will validate the voucher. Once validated, you can proceed with the application.
Step 6: Review and accept the terms
This will be active only if your voucher details are validated.

Step 9: Click on the “Review & Submit” button
You will receive the updates in your email. Once your application is approved, you will receive an entry permit to the State of Qatar via email.
Stage 3: Accommodation
The guest should have confirmed accommodation before travelling. If the guest is using a hotel accommodation, he only needs a hotel booking. The details of hotel booking should be uploaded to “Upload Other Platforms Booking” on the Hayya portal.
If the guest is staying with a Qatar resident, the resident should register his property on Hayya portal and add the guest to it. Here is our guide on how to register on Hayya portal to host family and friends. As per the new update in April, the host should invite the guest before the guest can apply for Hayya.
Note: Nowadays National Address Certificate is also accepted instead of Tenancy Contract.
Here is a video explaining all about the Hayya With Me option:

Hello,
After the 2nd of December and as an international non-ticket holder, can i book for 1 night and then move to family house ? as for I have seen on their website there is a minimum of days to book for a ticket holder, so I’m wondering if it will b the same for the non-ticket holder ?
Thank you,
Hi Maroua, Sorry, we cannot confirm that as this type of Hayya Entry Permit is yet to be issued. Please check this with the Hayya helpline: +974-4441-2022.
Hello,
Can you please tell me what is for the early December Hayya?
Is it for non ticket holder?
Thank you in advance
Hi Kate, Yes, it is the new name for the Non-Match Ticket option.
Hello,
I’ve a valid Hayya card but i can not seem to find the Hayya with me option, is this normal?
Is it no longer possible to do this option?
Thank you in advance for your response.
Hi Marou, This option is only available for international fans who are staying in paid accommodation.
Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
so as a non Qatar resident, and even if I’m staying with family in Qatar, I can’t have the option of 3+1 and send the vouchers to my friends ? i must have paid accommodation ?
Hi Maroua, Only those on paid accommodation will see the voucher option on their Hayya portal. This is not available to those staying with family and friends.
Hi,
1) If you get a hayya card for non ticket holders and they buy a match ticket while in Doha. Do they need to re-apply for hayya card?
2) how long does it take to approve the guest for the hayya card? Is it a quick turnaround?
Hi NB, No need to apply for new card. You can change the Hayya card category. The approval time cannot be predicted as it is a manual process. Some people get it within hours, while it takes a few days for some.
SO you deleted my comment cause it makes the Qatar World CUp organising committee look terribly bad. What a failure this Hayya card has been.
Hi, As i am a Qatar resident, can I share my Hayya with the other Qatar residents who have no tickets?
Hi Daniya, This option is not available for Qatar residents. Only international fans with match tickets can bring non-ticket holders.
Dear DOHA GUIDES TEAM,
It was announced in your website that HAYYA WITH ME International applicants can arrange their accommodation under Hosting Family and Friends prior to 1st November 2022 (Post 1st November Accommodation must be booked through Agency or Third Party) which two of my guests (non tickets fans) Hayya With Me Applicants added their accommodation under Friends and Family scheme before 1st November 2022 and received email confirmation from Hayya Portal on 27th October and 30th October respectively confirming the Friends and Family accommodations for them. But their Hayya application status is still PENDING (Accommodation Confirmation) on Hyaa Portal. I called Hayya Team today and explained the same but according to them Hayya With me applicants can not avail Friends and Family accommodation rather ONLY Match Ticket holders can book their accommodation Under Friends & Family Scheme. This is really confusing and annoying, Kindly advise on this.
Thank you
Hi Abu Abid, Guess you have misunderstood the two options. We never said that “Hayya With Me” international applicants can arrange their accommodation under Hosting Family and Friends. We have always said that “Hayya With Me” needs confirmed accommodation through QAA or a third party. The Hosting Family and Friends option is only applicable to international fans with match tickets. It was very clearly announced from the beginning.
Hi,
I only plan to visit Qatar during my layover from Qatar Airway. Hence, I don’t have a match ticket. I don’t see any option to apply for Hayya card without a match ticket. Any advice on how I should proceed as a normal tourist?
Thanks!
Hi Nidyanin, Currently there is no other way for visitors.
It was wrong decision for having haya card for other events like music festival, why it’s mandatory to have match ticket, during this process it’s not clearly mention and not updating the customer for non haya will not allow in stadium for other Events
Dear hayya team.
I am planning to visit Qatar before the world cup. From 8th until 11th. November, thus I don’t have any match ticket.
How can I enter the country?
Hi Daniel, The Qatar government has announced that after 1 November 2022 visitors cannot enter without a Hayya Card. You may call the Government helpline at +974-4406 9999 to confirm this.
Hi, we are already in Qatar as tourist. Our friend has a QID and wants to host us. Can we apply for a Hayya card even though we do not a ticket yet as long as the QID resident hosts us?
Hi Tamie, You cannot apply for Hayya Card without a ticket. A match ticket number is compulsory. As a Qatar resident, your friend can only host those with a match ticket. The 1+3 option can only be used by an international fan with a ticket and paid accommodation (not by Qatar residents).
Hello Sir, Just want to clarify a few things on Hayya with me 1+3 opportunity, I have a Hayya card approved and a match ticket, I am residing in UK, I wanted to bring my friends from other country e.g India
1. Will the Indian friends get the same Hayya card under 1+3 scheme of non-ticket fans, are they allowed to visit UAE or KSA individually under same scheme?
2. Do they need to book hotel in Qatar before Hayya Card approval? If no then do they have to book hotel prior to arrival in Qatar?
3. If their Hayya card gets approved, will they be able to visit UAE or KSA before entering Qatar at first?
4. Do they have to accompany the main Hayya card holder while visiting UAE or KSA or they can visit without the main Hayya card holder?
5. Do they need to book accommodations in UAE or KSA prior to their visa application through Hayya with me scheme?
I would really appreciate your kind response in earliest. Thank you
Hi Abu Abid, Here are the answers as we know:
(1) Your friends will also get a Hayya card, and they can apply for UAE & KSA visas.
(2) If you want, you can share your paid accommodation with up to three friends. There is an option on your Hayya portal: My Hayya > Actions > Share My Paid Accommodation.
(3) Saudi has confirmed that it is possible to visit Saudi before entering Qatar. UAE visa application portal is yet to open.
(4) Once they have their UAE/KSA visa they can visit themselves.
(5) Hotel booking is not required in Saudi. You only need an address. Awaiting more information on UAE visa.
Thank you very much for sharing the these important information and guidance which will benefit others as well.
When will we get the information about UAE, please update.
Many Thanks
Thank you Abu Abid, The UAE visa service is supposed to be open on 1 November.
We have already created an article on this: https://www.dohaguides.com/uae-visa-with-hayya-card/
We will update the article soon as it is open.
Hi There

Hi Rasheed, This option is only available to international match ticket holders who have booked hotel accommodation.
Hi there
I have booked flights through Qatar during November. I won’t leave the airport, but some websites say I still need a Hayya Permit. Is this still required?
Thanks,
Jonathan
Hi Jonathan, Hayya Card is not required for transit passengers. You only need it if you are leaving the airport.
Hey
I have a Ticket of Qatar Resident, i can transfer this ticket to an International Fan or Not….?
Hi Mohammed, Even if you transfer, he will not get an entry permit to come to Qatar. This may work if this person is already in Qatar and has a Hayya Card. You can call 800 2022 for clarification.
Hello! Can non tickets holders get Haya card for purpose to visit KSA? And if yes how to get it? How much it cost?
Hi Burul, If you are an international fan using the “Hayya With Me” option, you will get a Hayya Card. You can use that to apply for Saudi Visa also.

Hi Ali, FIFA does not recommend purchasing through any other platform. There have been many instances of scams related to this.
hi sir, i have a match ticket. i want to avail the opportunity of “Hayya with Me (1+3)” . my questions are:
1. Will each applicant of “Hayya with Me (1+3)” receive their own hayya card?.
2. will it possible for each applicant to avail UAE and KSA multiple visa opportunities for world cup duration?
3. is it essential for “Hayya with Me (1+3)”to book hotel in qatar or family accomodation can also be availed?
Hi Ali, As per the information we received from the Hayya Support team, (1) Yes, each applicant will receive their own Hayya Card. (2) Yes, it will be possible. (3) Family accommodation cannot be used for this. Before planning your trip, please confirm this directly with Hayya Team at (+974) 4441 2022.
I want to know my son and his family is planing to join the Fifa wold cup they already have Haya card and match tickets for them but the problem for their 2 year old daughter have Haya card but no match ticket .please advise me is it mandatory have a Mach ticket for the child ?
they can come with the child ?please advise
Hello Sir, Sorry, your question is not clear. Is your son’s family visiting Qatar? Is the child’s Hayya Card approved?
As per the rule, you need a match ticket to get Hayya Card (even for children).
Hi,
can you please help me to provide Qatar official website/FIFA link where it states that children below 12 yrs doesn’t need to buy a match ticket or apply for an individual Haya card either and can be added as only a dependent to Primary Haya card applicant.
Hi Umar, You haven’t understood the concept properly. This article is about the “Hayya With Me” (1+3) option. This option is for bringing people without match tickets. This option is only available for those staying in hotels and other paid options. There is a fee of QR 500 for those above 12.
The dependent option is different. It is for adding a child to your Hayya account. For that child should also have a match ticket. Please note that children of all ages need match tickets but Hayya Card application will be under an adult. The child will get a separate Hayya Card.
thanks for the clarification.
