Visa & Entry

Spanish passport holders enter Qatar visa-free for up to 90 days. The waiver was made permanent in 2017. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from arrival. No advance application, eVisa, or fee is required. You get stamped in at Hamad International Airport.

The initial stay is 30 days, extendable to 90 days total at the Ministry of Interior office in Doha or through their online portal (metrash2 app). The extension is free. Overstaying results in a fine of QAR 200 per day.

Qatar does not require proof of hotel bookings or return flights at immigration, but airline staff at your departure airport may check for a return ticket before boarding. Have a booking reference ready. Alcohol is available only in licensed hotel bars and restaurants. Importing alcohol is prohibited.

Getting from DOH

Doha Metro Gold Line departs from inside the terminal to the city centre (15–20 min, QAR 3–6). Msheireb station is the interchange for connecting to the Red and Green lines. First train is at 6am; late-night arrivals will need a taxi or ride-hail. Karwa taxis are available at the arrivals area; West Bay costs QAR 30–50.Careem and Uber are the most cost-effective options. Hamad International has no separate rental car facility visible from arrivals; rental desks are landside. The airport is 15 km from central Doha with good road access via the Corniche and Lusail Expressway.

Doha Climate

Desert climate, similar to Dubai. Summers (June–September) are intensely hot (37–45°C) with very high humidity. Ground operations slow but flights rarely cancel for heat alone. Dust haze is persistent and occasionally reduces visibility below instrument minimums. Winter (November–March) is pleasant at 15–26°C and represents Qatar Airways' peak operational period.

Rain is rare, fewer than 10 rainy days per year, but the drainage infrastructure means even light rain causes road flooding. Occasional dust storms (shamal) reduce visibility and can ground departures for hours. Spring (March–May) is the most dust-prone season.
