Entry requirements for Tourism travel
Do South Korea citizens need a visa for Qatar? For tourism travel, the current rule is visa on arrival, with a permitted stay of up to 30 days per visit. This tourism rule was last checked against an official government source — Visit Qatar — Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on 2026-08-29. It applies to South Korea passport holders, but the exact conditions granted on the day can still differ, so keep the requirements below — and the official source in the sidebar — handy when you plan your trip.
A visa on arrival means the visa is issued when you reach the destination, usually at the arrival counter. Carry the required documents and fees, expect a short queue, and remember that entry is still granted at the officer’s discretion.
