Indonesia to Qatar visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa in advance for a short tourist trip to Qatar. Indonesia is on Qatar's visa-waiver list, so travelers receive a free visa waiver stamp on arrival valid for 30 days, multiple entries, extendable once for a further 30 days. Qatar grants Indonesian ordinary passport holders a free visa waiver on arrival. There is no advance application, no eVisa requirement and no fee for the standard short tourist stay. On landing at Hamad International Airport, eligible travelers receive a visa-waiver entry permit valid for 30 days from the date of arrival, allowing multiple entries within a 180-day period from issue, and it can be extended once for an additional 30 days (total up to 60 days) via the Qatar Ministry of Interior / Metrash2 portal. To qualify, the passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry, and travelers should hold a confirmed return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation (a hotel booking or host address). Qatar is in the Gulf, not in the Schengen area, so the Schengen 90/180 rule and ETIAS do not apply. Travelers who prefer a paper trail or who need other visa categories can use the official Hayya platform (hayya.qa), but this is optional for ordinary Indonesian tourists who qualify for the on-arrival waiver. Always confirm current rules with your airline and the Qatar embassy before departure, as airlines verify onward tickets and accommodation at check-in.
