How this tool works

No visa. Irish passport holders receive a free 30-day visa waiver on arrival in Qatar.

Irish citizens can obtain a free 30-day visa waiver on arrival. The page does not state how the 30-day period is counted or specify permitted travel purposes. A valid passport is required, with at least 6 months of validity; Irish passport cards cannot be used to enter Qatar.
