March 3, 2026·22 days ago·via Travel And Tour World

Qatar's Ministry of Interior extends all entry visas that have expired or are expiring by one month, effective from February 28, 2026, amid airspace closure and flight suspensions stranding travelers. The automatic, fee-free extension processes through electronic systems without needing visits or applications, though those with prior overstay violations must settle fines first. Qatar Airways offers bookings between February 28 and March 10 a 14-day date change or full refund via app or website.
