- MOI portal (portal.moi.gov.qa) blocked automated access; the 90 vs 30 day split is from the MOI announcement of August 2017 as republished by Qatar embassies (Seoul, Brussels). Visit Qatar (wizard data modified 18 Aug 2026) confirms who is visa free but not the duration.
- Nationalities added to visa free entry after 2017 (AG, AM, BA, DO, MO, NI, RW, TJ, UZ) are set to 30 days by assumption.
- Thailand and Ukraine were on the 2017 30 day list but Visit Qatar now shows visa on arrival with Discover Qatar hotel booking; newer page kept.
- Hayya A1 stay length and processing time not stated on any official page read; 30 days is the usual e notification length per an MOI snippet.
- Joint Qatar Oman visa fee not shown on Visit Qatar (an MOI snippet mentions QR 100).
- FK and GF (French Guiana) are wizard entries for territories, not separate passports.
