You can check your Qatar visa status online on the Ministry of Interior’s Visa Inquiry page. Search by application number, visa number or passport number, type the verification code, and the visa details appear. No login is needed.
The same service is used to print an issued visa and, where allowed, to extend it. Here is how it works, step by step.
What you need
Have one of these ready: the application number, the visa number, or the visitor’s passport number. What else you need depends on which one you use.
- Application or visa number: the sponsor’s or representative’s ID number, or the application date.
- Passport number: the visitor’s nationality.
How to check your Qatar visa status
Step 1: Open Visa Inquiry
Go to the MOI payment gateway at fees2.moi.gov.qa and click Visa Services at the top. Make sure Inquiry & Extension is selected. It covers inquiry, printing and extension.

Step 2: Search by application or visa number
In Search By, choose Application number or Visa number and type it in. Then do one of two things: enter the sponsor or representative ID, or select Application Date and pick the date you applied.
Step 3: Or search by passport number
Don’t have the visa or application number? Choose Passport number in Search By and type the passport number. Select the nationality, enter the verification code and click Search. This search needs nothing more than the nationality.
Step 4: Check the result
The visa details appear on the next screen. If the visa has been issued, you can print it from here. The extension option shows up only where an extension is allowed for that visa type.
If nothing comes up
Check the number first. Then check the sponsor ID or the application date you entered, because a wrong date is a common reason for an empty result. If everything matches and still nothing appears, ask the sponsor to confirm the application was actually submitted.
Other ways to check a Qatar visa
- Metrash app: sponsors and residents can follow visa applications in the MOI’s Metrash app after logging in with their Qatar ID.
- Hayya: tourist and Hayya visas are applied for and tracked on the Hayya platform, not on the Visa Inquiry page.
- Help tab: the Help section on the same page lists the MOI contact details.
Common mistakes
- Searching a Hayya or tourist visa on the MOI page. Use the Hayya platform instead.
- Entering the application date instead of the sponsor ID, or the other way round, without selecting the matching option.
- Picking the wrong nationality in a passport search.
- Mistyping the verification code. Refresh it if it is hard to read.
