Andorra to Qatar visa requirements

Andorran ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for short tourist visits to Qatar. They receive a free visa waiver on arrival, valid for 30 days, extendable once for a further 30 days. Holders of an ordinary Andorran (AD) passport are on Qatar's visa-waiver list and enjoy visa-free entry for tourism and short visits. On arrival at Hamad International Airport (or any port of entry), the traveler receives a free visa waiver stamp valid for 30 days from the date of issue. The waiver allows multiple entries during its validity and can be extended once, in-country, for an additional 30 days (a fee applies to the extension). No advance application, embassy appointment, or pre-payment is required for the initial entry. Requirements at the border are a passport valid for at least three months from the date of arrival, a confirmed hotel booking or proof of accommodation, and onward/return travel evidence. Six months' passport validity may still be a conservative airline recommendation, but it is not Qatar's stated minimum on Visit Qatar. Qatar is not part of the Schengen Area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply to entry into Qatar. This verdict was confirmed against the official Visit Qatar visa pages, which list Andorra explicitly in the 30-day visa-exemption category.
