Qatar visa for Gulf (GCC) residents from Algeria
Last verified: June 2026 (qatartourism.com source)
Can an Algerian resident of the Gulf enter Qatar online?
Yes — but conditionally. If you are an Algerian holding a valid residence permit from a GCC country (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman) with an eligible profession, you can apply for the Hayya A2 permit: since 30 November 2025 it allows up to 60 days, multiple-entry. 100% online. Without valid GCC residence, this route does not apply — use the Hayya A1 tourist permit.
