The passport must be valid for at least six months.
Do you need a visa?
Yes, an entry permit is required, but it is simple to obtain: Romanian nationals can apply for an e-Visa online before travelling, and a visa on arrival may be issued at certain entry points.
How and where to apply
The e-Visa is applied for online through the official Qatar Ministry of Interior e-services (https://www.moi.gov.qa): create an account, complete the form, upload documents and pay. Alternatively, the permit can be obtained at the immigration counter on arrival.
Documents and fees
Prepare a passport valid for at least six months, proof of accommodation (or a hotel booking) and a return ticket. The visa fee is not stated here: check the official amount on the Ministry portal before paying.
Processing and tips
The e-Visa is usually processed within a few business days; apply in advance to travel with peace of mind. Keep your accommodation confirmation, which is sometimes requested at arrival control.
Common mistakes
Do not travel without confirming the passport's six-month validity. Do not confuse categories: the tourist e-Visa differs from a transit visa; choose the correct option when applying.
