What the Qatar visa rules mean for Taiwan travellers

Taiwan passport holders can get a visa on arrival in Qatar for stays of up to 30 days. There is nothing to apply for in advance — the visa is issued at the airport or land border after you pay the fee. Bring cash in a major currency, a passport valid for at least six months, a return ticket and the address of your first night's accommodation, and expect a queue at busy airports.

The main option is the Hayya A1 Tourist Visa, which costs 100 QAR. Qatar also offers Visa on Arrival — see the visa options above.
