Updated Entrance Policy For EU And GCC Nationals

Key Points

• Adjustment of entrance requirements for fully vaccinated travelers arriving from non-Red Health Measure list countries in the European Union and the Gulf Cooperation Council

Overview

On 16 March 2022, the government of Qatar announced an update to its COVID-19 travel and return policy. Under this change, fully vaccinated foreign nationals from the European Union (EU) and those from member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) will not need to complete the pre-travel registration form.

These travelers will also not be required to undergo pre-arrival PCR testing so long as the country of departure is not listed in the Red Health Measures list. Instead, these travelers will be required to take a rapid antigen test within 24 hours of arrival in Qatar. Travelers who do arrive with a negative PCR test will be exempt from rapid antigen testing.
