Visa requirements
[edit]As of 2024, Qatari citizens had visa-free or visa on arrival access to 107 countries and territories, ranking the Qatari passport 46 in terms of travel freedom according to the Henley Passport Index.[1] As citizens of a GCC member country, citizens of Qatar are permitted free movement within the GCC member states,[2] in a manner similar to that of the European Union.
From 1 December 2024, Qatar has been added to the United States Visa Waiver Program, therefore Qatari passport holders will be able to travel to the United States for a maximum 90 days stay without the requirement of a visa. Qatar has become the first Arab country whose citizens have the right to travel to the United States without a previously arranged travel visa, and one of only two Muslim-majority countries with a Brunei citizens.[3]
