According to reports, Qatar has removed the requirement to pre-register on the Ehteraz health app before arriving for the tournament.
The FIFA World Cup 2022 is set to begin on November 20, and Qatar has announced significant travel relief for fans and visitors.
In a recent statement, the Gulf state said that overseas tourists will no longer need to take a COVID test before entering the country.
A negative PCR test report from within the last 48 hours or a fast antibody test from within the last 24 hours was previously required for passengers over the age of six traveling to Qatar. After that, the test results had to be turned in at the airport check-in counter.
Meanwhile, due to a decrease in the number of COVID-19 cases in Qatar and around the world, Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) has announced a relaxation of the stated guidelines.
Travelers who tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in Qatar were also subjected to self-isolation measures required by the authorities. As previously reported, Qatari officials have removed the necessity for all visitors to be quarantined.

From November 1, all tourists arriving in Qatar will be required to have a Hayya card, which has been made a mandatory requirement for all visitors.
Due to the large number of visitors expected for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, Qatar has banned all visitor permits and will do so until December 23, 2022.
Those arriving in Qatar during this time must apply for a Hayya Card, which is a type of Fan ID that allows them to enter the nation during the event. Visitors who do not intend to attend the FIFA World Cup 2022 match will also be needed to provide this card.
Previously, entry into the nation during FIFA World Cup 2022 was restricted to those having match tickets. However, it was revealed last week that foreign supporters who have bought match tickets will be able to bring up to three guests into Qatar, with or without tickets, to visit the fan zones. Although visitors must be at least 18 years old to purchase tickets, there is no restriction on the age of those who can be invited.
During the World Cup, Qatar expects at least one million visitors.
Non – vaccinated visitors must wear masks for ten days following their arrival, and anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 must isolate for five days.
