qatarvisastatuscheck.co ↗⚠️ A note on scams
Only ever enter your passport number on official government websites (moi.gov.qa, qatarvisastatuscheck.co, hayya.qa). Never share passport copies or pay "visa approval fees" to strangers on WhatsApp or social media — and never trust approval screenshots from agents alone. Always check the portal yourself.
Common questions
Do I need my visa number to check my status?
No. You can check using only your passport number — select "Passport Number" in the Search By dropdown on the MOI portal, then enter your passport number and nationality.
How long does a Qatar visa take to be approved?
Tourist e-visas usually take 24–48 hours. Work and family visas typically take 7–10 working days or longer, depending on medical and documentation steps.
What does "Ready to Print" mean?
It means your visa is approved — you just need to complete any remaining fee payment and print the visa document. See our status meanings guide for the full list.
Is there any fee for checking my visa status?
No. Checking your status on the MOI portal, QVC website, or Metrash2 app is free.
Can I check someone else's visa status?
The portal only needs a passport number and nationality, so technically yes — but only do this for family members or with the person's permission.
