Have the Embassy Details at hand in case you need to contact them
It's always good to have the Embassy Details close by, just in case you need to get in touch with them for any reason. To make it easier for you, we've put the address and phone number of the Qatar Embassy at the bottom of this page.
Flights from Qatar across the GCC
All direct flights between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain are suspended until further notice due to diplomatic disruption. Travel between Qatar and the UK aren’t affected.
No Prior Visa Arrangement Required
Nationals of the UK will not require prior visa arrangements and can obtain a visa waiver upon arrival in Qatar. The waiver will be valid for 30 days from the date of issuance and entitle its holder to spend up to 30 days in Qatar, during either a single trip or on multiple trips.
Weekends fall on Friday and Saturday
Weekends in Qatar fall on Fridays and Saturdays. Most of the stores are usually closed on Friday mornings until the afternoon prayer, and they begin to open for business around 1:30pm.
Driving in Qatar
You can drive in Qatar with a valid UK driving licence for up to 12 months. From 28 March 2019, you will also require a 1968 International Driving Permit (IDP) before you leave for Qatar. Older IDPs previously issued by the UK may no longer be accepted for use in Qatar after this date.
