Is Hayya Entry Permit the same as Hayya Card?
No, The Hayya Entry Permit is a document required only for entering Qatar. It will be mainly used during your travel to Qatar.
The Hayya Card, on the other hand, was used for many more things such as access to stadiums, public transport, fan zones etc. International fans who have received approved Hayya Card will also need a Hayya Entry Permit to enter Qatar.
Will Qatar residents receive Hayya Entry Permits?
Residents who have applied for Hayya Card using a QID number will not receive entry permits. They will only receive Hayya Cards. They can continue to travel using their Qatari passport or Qatar ID card.
Do I need to apply for the Hayya Entry Permit?
International fans who have applied for a Hayya Card and have been approved will automatically receive their Hayya Entry Permit. They do not have to apply for entry permits.
Is Hayya Entry Permit digital or printed?
You will receive your Hayya Entry Permit in digital format. It would be sent to your registered email ID as a PDF file. The digital Hayya Permit can also be accessed on your mobile phone’s Hayya to Qatar 2022 app.
If needed you can print it on A4 size paper using a normal printer. A printout on paper will make it easier to scan the QR code.
At your point of departure make sure you present your entry permit (digital copy or printed copy) to the relevant immigration counter(s) upon request. You can keep either a printed copy or a digital copy for the duration of your journey.
How will I receive my Hayya Entry Permit?
If you have an approved Hayya Card, you will receive an email with a PDF copy of your entry permit to Qatar. Even if you haven’t received your mail due to some reason, you can check your Hayya to Qatar 2022 app.
How can I get Hayya Entry Permit on my mobile?
You can see the entry permit on the Hayya to Qatar 2022 app by following the below steps:
Step 1: Open your Hayya to Qatar 2022 app
Here are the App Store Link and Android Play Store Link.
Step 2: Login using your Hayya account email id and password
This will be the same email and password that you used during your Hayya application.
Step 3: Click on the “Hayya” icon
The icon is on the bottom right of your screen.
Step 4: You can see “Hayya Entry Permit” below “My Hayya”
If your app doesn’t show the permit link, it means your entry permit is not yet ready.
Step 5: Click on “Hayya Entry Permit”
Now you can see your entry permit. You can either use this for travel or take a printout.
What does the Hayya Entry Permit look like?
The entry permit features your photo with a QR code. It also has your name, Hayya Card number, validity and date of last entry.
If you want, you can scan this QR code using another mobile phone to make sure all your details are shown correctly. This will show more details.
Under Personal Information, you can see name, nationality, date of birth and gender. Under Passport Details, you can see your passport number, passport type and passport expiry date.
When will I receive my Hayya Entry Permit?
International fans whose Hayya Card application has been approved have started receiving entry permits during the last week of October. Most applicants are expected to receive them before 1 November 2022.
What should I do if I didn’t receive my Entry Permit?

Did I need to upload accomadation details for visiting qatar.
Hi Noufal, If you are applying using Hayya portal, you have to upload accommodation details. If someone is hosting you, the host should add his property details to his Hayya account and invite you. You will receive an email invitation and your accommodation will be automatically validated. If you are staying in a hotel, you should upload hotel booking details to your Hayya portal.
I have the entry permit issued. The last day of entry on the permit is June 19, 2023z
1. Is that the last day to arrive or depart Qatar with this permit?
2. Is that period extendable for the same permit or I have to apply for a new one If I needed to enter Qatar in July.
Thanks
Hi Mohammed Ali, (1) It is the last date to enter Qatar with this permit. For Tourist Visa it is 30 days after approval.
(2) Usually this cannot be extended, which means you may have to apply another one.
You can double check with Hayya Support at [email protected] or or (+974) 4441 2022.

Hi Luz, If you are coming on Tourist Entry or GCC Resident Entry, you can only use your Entry Permit once. These are single entry visas. You will need to apply again (and pay the fee if required). Only “Hayya With Me” visa is multiple entry.
It is a Hayya with me entry permit visa but it stated that my last entry to enter is May 19. I am entering Qatar on May I and will leave the following day for Istanbul. I will still be in Istanbul by May 19, which is the date of my last entry but I am planning to return again to Qatar on May 21. Does my host need to apply again for hayya entry permit for me to enter Qatar for the 2nd time? Thank you.
Hi Luz, This could be a system issue after the new update. Hayya With Me is multiple entry and last date of entry is 10 January 2024. Please contact Hayya Support at [email protected] or or (+974) 4441 2022. Check with them how you can get a new Entry Permit because your airline may refuse to board you after 19 May.
