How to avoid overstaying

  • Go by your stamp or visa. The date the officer gives you is the one that counts, even if it is shorter than the maximum.
  • Extensions. Our data has no extension route for Qatar; plan to leave on time or arrange a different visa in advance.
  • Penalties. Our data does not list the overstay penalty for Qatar. Ask the immigration authority before you risk it: fines, deportation and entry bans are common elsewhere.
