A local Arabic daily quoted Saeed al-Kuwari, executive director of the Hayya platform, as saying on Al Kass channel that starting from November, entry to Qatar will be limited to those having Hayya Cards, except for residents and Qatari citizens, throughout the tournament. The rule applies to all visitors from all countries including non-resident GCC citizens. No specific dates have been given as to when the Hayya requirement will come into effect and when it will end.
However, all who have a Qatari residency and Qatari citizens are free to exit and enter the country at any time throughout the event. The holders of any match ticket will enjoy the benefits of Hayya card and can stay in the country throughout the duration on condition of having available accommodation.
The Hayya card is considered a multiple entry permit, valid until January 23, 2023.
