As we all know pandemic isn’t over yet. COVID cases are still there in many countries, as to prevent FIFA world cup 2022 from such scenario Qatar has made some rules while fans travelling to the respective country. A clear pre-travel PCR test that shows negative result acquired within 48 hours of departure from your country is required by the host country i.e. Qatar. It is one of the common rules that is adhered by many countries after opening their boundaries following the lockdowns. You need not to show the negative PCR reports upon the arrival in Qatar until you are fully vaccinated or you have recovered from the COVID-19. The desirable information is that visitors who haven’t gotten the vaccine won’t be affected. If you still want to enter the nation without the reports, a five-day hotel quarantine is required. If you haven’t got the vaccine shot yet, you might be scheduling a flight to Qatar. You need to stay in the hotel for at least a week before the FIFA world cup 2022, match that you want to see.

If you are planning to visit Qatar, Hamad International Airport in November for the World cup 2022, you’ll need to apply for a Hayya Card first. From various cities of Qatar, four large cities have been selected to serve as the venue for this year’s world cup (Doha, Al Wakrah, Al Khor and Al Rayyan). The Hayya Card can also serve as an entrance ticket on game days as well as your visa upon arrival in Qatar. We suggest that if you're interested in traveling to Qatar, you should book your flight as soon as possible due to the global upward trend in airfare that suggests a rapid increase in demand and a decrease in the availability of seats on planes as a result of this increase in demand. Getting around is easier if you have a car and make sure that you have it available for the duration of your stay when you are going to multiple games, all held in different cities or at different stadiums.
