Hi dear, there isn't a direct flights to Doha but you could enter throw Kuwait or Oman, I hope this will help you info.

👸🏻

Thanks a bunch dear Mariam.
Yes some say take Kuwait or Muscat then to Doha. But do you think it’s still possible to get the visa upon arrival just like before?
Thanks dear, really appreciate it😘

Because you know what i went to travel agency here in Riyahd to ask but no one gave me an answer. They said they have no idea or maybe “i think” they are not allowed to give an information. I really don’t know.

Anyways... I’ll let you know if i get any info.

Well I may suggest you could call or visit The Qatari Embassy and ask about the visa.

Your entry is based on your passport so traveling via Kuwait or Muscat will not alter the entry status. Just check that a Philippine passport still has visa on entry status. It does sometimes change. Looking on the Internet you will need an e-visa.

Thanks Mr. Martin 😊

Please try to understand the meaning of the term "Exit Re-entry visa"  :lol:

If you are to exit KSA, you need it

Use KW airlines

There are no direct flights from Saudi/UAE/Bahrain to Qatar any more.  You have to travel via Oman or Kuwait.

I have been told by friends that the land route is now closed completely. There are no direct flights, but several indirect route options. Visa is dependent on your passport, since GCC resident permit based visa is no longer applicable

Yes, visa delivery still is done at the airport in Doha.
No specific issue.
Enjoy!

Hi,

My husband is currently working in Riyadh and I am working Qatar. He plans to visit Qatar this August as I would provide him Family Visit Visa.

I know he will not have any issues entering Qatar (travelling via Oman route). But will he have issues in re-entering Saudi coming from Qatar?

Did you try travelling already?

XTang

No issue for expats coming back as it will be through Oman or Kuwait.

Hello sir,

Does the Immigration in saudi arabia ask you for your travel destination if you go via kuwait to arrive in qatar? Like, visa and other documents.

Possible visit visa on arrival in qatar airport still available? Im taking a visa on arrival.

Hope you can help me clear my confusion. Thank you in advance.

XTang

Immigration never asks you where you are going.   Only the airline staff will - at check in and at boarding gate.

Thank you.. It helps me a lot..
