Under the new program, nationals of 33 countries, mostly from the Schengen
Area, are no longer required to buy visas for an up to 90-days stay in Qatar.
They only need a valid passport to enter Qatar.
Nationals of other 47 countries, including the U.S., the UK and Japan, will
be allowed to stay in Qatar for up to 30 days, but the term can be extended to
30 more days.
"The visa exemption scheme will make Qatar the most open country in
the region," Hassan al-Ibrahim,
Chief Tourism Development officer at Qatar Tourism Authority told reporters at
a press conference in Doha.
In June, Qatar’s neighbor countries Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) severed diplomatic ties and transport links with
Qatar accusing the country of supporting terrorism and of close ties to Iran.
Doha denies the charges.
