Visitors to Qatar will be required to obtain a “Hayya Card” to enter the country beginning Nov. 1, Qatari authorities have confirmed.
Key Points:
Background: Qatar is expected to welcome more than 1 million visitors for the World Cup. Authorities had previously said that those attending World Cup matches would be required to obtain a Hayy Card. Authorities have now confirmed that this requirement will apply to all visitors beginning Nov. 1.
BAL Analysis: Those planning to visit Qatar for reasons other than attending World Cup matches should do so before November or after the Hayya Card requirement comes to an end.
