The short answer
Qatari citizens do not need a visa to enter Thailand for stays of up to 60 days. No visa is needed before travelling to Thailand for a short tourist or business visit. 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. Entry rules change without notice, so the requirement is read again from the official source on a schedule and the date above is the last time that happened. The official source for this corridor is linked on this page and should be checked before booking. Where the destination government and the traveller's own government disagree, the destination government decides, because it is the one that writes the rule. This was last checked on 19 April 2026.

Step by step
How Qatari citizens enter Thailand
Check your passport is valid for the whole trip. Many countries also want it valid for a period beyond your departure date, so confirm the exact rule on the official page below.
Plan a trip of 60 days or fewer. Beyond that, Thailand needs a different permission and this page does not cover it.
Carry proof of onward or return travel and of where you are staying. Border officers ask for both, and an airline can refuse boarding without them.
Check the requirement again close to your departure date. This route was last checked on 19 April 2026, and rules change without notice.

Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces, to the Chana, Thepa, Na Thawi, and Saba Yoi districts of southern Songkhla province, to the Hat Yai to Padang Besar rail line, and to areas within 20km of the Cambodian land border. Attacks continue in the provinces bordering Malaysia. Land borders and crossings with Cambodia remain suspended following fighting in July 2025 and further clashes in early December, unexploded landmines remain a hazard, and border tourist sites including the Khao Phra Wihan, Ta Kwai, and Ta Muen Thom temples are closed. The rest of Thailand, including Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, carries no advice against travel.
