Qatar has announced that the quarantine requirement for those entering the country has been waived for those fully vaccinated against the virus.
This comes after the Ministry of Interior announced on Thursday that it would resume issuing tourist and family visas from Monday, July 12.
Those vaccinated from red list countries, however, will need to do a repeat PCR test on arrival.
“Many tourists and travellers, especially from Asian countries, were holding back their plans of coming to Qatar because of mandatory hotel quarantine. Now, Qatar will start issuing tourist visa and mandatory quarantine requirement will also be not required. These two announcements will give a big boost to tourism in Qatar,” a senior official of a Destination Management Company told The Peninsula.
“Mandatory hotel quarantine was an additional financial burden for the tourists,” he added.
