VISA-FREE ENTRY TO QATAR FOR 80 COUNTRIES
Qatar's Ministry of Interior, Qatar Tourism Authority and Qatar Airways have announced that the country will allow visa-free entry for citizens from 80 countries, including Singapore. It is effective immediately.
This means that Singaporeans will not need prior visa arrangements and can obtain a free multi-entry visa at the port of entry, upon presentation of a valid passport with a minimum validity of six months and a confirmed onward or return ticket. The visa allows its holder to spend up to 30 days, from the date of issue, in Qatar during a single trip or on multiple trips and the waiver may be extended for a further 30 days.
