About this service
Overview
- Visa on arrival up to 30 days
- Discover Qatar hotel booking handled

- Ideal for Doha stopovers
Indian passport holders can visit Qatar without applying for a visa in advance, provided their hotel is booked through Discover Qatar — the visa is then issued on arrival. Travellers who prefer to apply beforehand can use Qatar’s official Hayya platform. We arrange the hotel booking or the Hayya application, whichever suits your trip.
