The short answer
Qatari citizens do not need a visa to enter Bahamas for stays of up to 90 days. No visa is needed before travelling to Bahamas for a short tourist or business visit. Bring a valid travel document, a return or onward ticket and evidence of sufficient funds to be self-sustaining during the stay, which may be requested. Conditions: immigration states that a visitor may remain for a maximum period of eight months, and that the period actually documented in a passport may vary because it is at the discretion of the immigration officer. Visitors are not allowed to engage in any form of gainful occupation while in the Bahamas. This covers tourist and short business visits only, not work, study or residence, and a border officer makes the final decision on entry in every case. This was last checked on 26 September 2026.
