Do Spanish passport holders need a visa for Qatar?

Covers 11 passports and 80 destinations. Rules older than 30 days are flagged for re-check.

How this tool works

We read the official notice for each pair and record the date. Nothing here is generated; a pair with no written check is not shown.

No visa. Spanish passport holders get a multiple-entry entry permit at the airport instead of a visa.

You need a passport valid for at least six months and either a booking confirmation or a return ticket. For stays beyond 30 days you must have local health insurance or international cover that meets Qatari rules, and if travel is not for tourism you must request the visa that matches the purpose.
