      Hi Rifad, You can give any name to the property. This is only for your identification if you have multiple properties.

    @myhayyaqatar-While filling out the guest details I made a mistake, I put the wrong email address due to this she did not receive email confirmation for accommodation. I called the Hayyateam several times for support, and I raised tickets as well. (Ticket SD26741360) but until now no response. I have already booked a ticket for my family for 08/06/2023.

      Hi Xhiaty, if you are facing error in uploading please try doing from a different device. If you still face issues, contact Hayya Support at [email protected] or or (+974) 4441 2022.

  8. Hi. I have applied for my hayya card with one dependent and have selected family as my accommodation. Can I enter my husband’s accommodation details from my account? Or he has to make one for himself and do it. And also, does my husband needs to wait for my rejection to apply by himself or he can apply already whilst my application status shows in process?

    1. Doha Guides Team

      Hi Maimuna, We assume your husband is the QID holder. Please make a new account for husband (you only need a different email id) and add his accommodation details. Then add yourself and your child as guests. You will receive an invitation email. You don’t have to wait for rejection.

      1. And after the invitation email what is the next step? I received it already. But i had applied for hayya before him. What to do next? Please reply

      Hi Salamatu, You can use same booking, but please contact your hotel and request to add both adults’ names to the same booking. Sometimes Hayya will be rejected if the booking name is different.
