Tips to extend your stay in Qatar
- For tourist stays, although a visa is not required for Danes, it is recommended to check the possibility of extension with local authorities if you wish to stay longer than 90 days.
- In case of a long transit, take advantage of the free transit visa to explore Doha without complex formalities.
- Always keep a copy of your exit ticket and a valid passport to avoid entry issues.
A Danish traveler arriving in Doha for a 30-day tourist stay does not need prior visa. They only need to present a passport valid for 6 months after the planned departure date and an exit ticket. For a 6-hour transit, they can request a free transit visa via Qatar Airways to visit the city.
