Nigerians planning a trip to Qatar can apply for a tourist electronic visa through the country’s official Hayya digital platform, following a six-stage procedure that covers document submission, accommodation verification and payment.
The process, outlined in guidance published on the Hayya website, allows eligible travellers to complete their applications online and receive their approved visas electronically.
Applicants seeking a tourist visa must select the appropriate category and provide the required personal and travel information before their applications can be processed.
Here are the six steps for applying for Qatar’s tourist e-visa in 2026:
1. Choose the correct visa category
Applicants must access the Hayya platform and select the Tourist Visa (A1) option to begin the application process.
2. Submit the required documents
Travellers are expected to upload the necessary documents, including a valid passport and a personal photograph. They must also fill in the requested personal details.
3. Verify personal information
Before proceeding, applicants should review and validate the information entered to ensure that their details are accurate.
4. Provide accommodation details
Applicants must confirm their accommodation arrangements as part of the application requirements.
5. Pay the applicable fee
The next stage involves completing the payment required for the application through the platform.
6. Receive the electronic visa
After completing the required stages, applicants can receive their approved e-visa through the Hayya mobile application or by email.
Other Qatar visa options for foreign travellers
Qatar also operates other entry pathways for eligible international visitors, including an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) route for travellers who meet the applicable requirements.
Foreign nationals should confirm which visa category applies to their circumstances and check the latest entry conditions through official Qatari government channels before making travel arrangements.
Completing the application steps does not automatically guarantee approval, and travellers should ensure that their documents and information meet the relevant requirements before submitting an application.
