During the FIFA World Cup 2022, Qatar introduced a mandatory Fan ID called the Hayya Card to facilitate entry for international and local fans. Through Hayya’s online platform, over a million visitors obtained Hayya Cards during the tournament.
In 2023, the Hayya portal was rebranded and upgraded with additional features to become a unified platform for all tourist and business visas to Qatar. Visitors who require a visa to enter Qatar can apply through the Hayya platform, which now offers several visa types.
This article will discuss everything you need to know about the Hayya Card, including the requirements and step-by-step process on how to apply for different types of visas on the Hayya portal.
Hayya Card Latest Updates
- 20 December 2023 Update: Qatar’s Ministry of Interior has announced the extension of the validity of Hayya visa for fans of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. The last date of entry for visa holders will be February 10, 2024. The last date of stay in Qatar will be February 24, 2024.
- As of December 2024, “Hayya With Me (C)” is still suspended for some nationalities such as India, Pakistan, Nigeria, etc. Nationals of these countries can apply for other types of Hayya visas such as Tourist Visas (A1).
- Visitors from these countries, with previously approved Hayya With Me (C) Entry Permits can still enter the country.
- In the last few weeks, there is a delay in the approval of Hayya Visas. Some applicants who contacted the Hayya helpline regarding the delay were advised that if they wish, they can cancel their old application and submit a new one (if it has been more than 14 days). To cancel your application, you need to send a request to [email protected].
- After the cancellation, you can file a new visa application. Some applicants were approved after reapplying. It’s important to note that this is only a suggestion from the Hayya helpline (not a requirement). Please double-check with the Hayya helpline before proceeding with the cancellation. DohaGuides is not responsible for application delays or changes in Hayya policies.
What is Hayya Card?
Hayya Card is a personalized and secure identification document issued by the State of Qatar to visitors who apply for an entry permit through the Hayya portal. The digital card has details including the cardholder’s name, photo, status, Hayya number, passport number, QR code and other important information.
Hayya Card was initially launched as a Fan ID issued for those attending the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. It was available in digital (mobile app) and physical (printed card) formats.
Do I need a Hayya Card to enter Qatar in 2024?
The requirement for all visitors to have a Hayya Card was removed after the FIFA World Cup. In 2024, visitors to Qatar can use the Hayya portal to apply for various types of tourist and business visas to enter Qatar. Once their Hayya application is approved, they will receive a Hayya Entry Permit and can access their Hayya Card on the mobile app.

Also a 500 qar fee will be required through Hayya platform to add non-ticket holders.
