The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar this fall is the #1 event for fans. The organizers are determined to do everything possible to make the competition a grand celebration. An astronomical amount was spent on the organization - more than $220 billion. In addition, for the first time in history the World Cup will be held in the Middle East and for the first time it will be held not in summer, but in autumn and winter.

32 national teams will take part in the World Cup. Qatari authorities expect about 1.3 million fans to attend the tournament, which is half of the country's current population, so they have seriously prepared and changed the entry rules.

Rules of entry during the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar

As of November 1, Qatar is canceling all coronavirus restrictions for entering the country. In addition, it will not be necessary to register in the Ehteraz Health application before departure, it will be needed only in case of contacting the country's medical facilities.

But the most important thing is that only tourists who have bought tickets to the World Cup matches and issued a special fan card - Hayya card - will be able to visit Qatar. Citizens and residents of Qatar, as well as persons holding work visas in Qatar, will also be able to enter the country without restrictions.

Thus, each tourist must issue a special permit on the Hayya platform.

Fans who will enter the country by car through the Abu-Samra checkpoint will have to pay an additional $1,380. The organizers emphasize that the monetary contribution is non-refundable.

How to issue a Hayya Card and what benefits does it provide?

The Hayya card is a permit to enter Qatar and is combined with access to the stadium (via a match ticket).

To apply for a Hayya digital card and book accommodation, visit the Qatar2022 website or use the Hayya to Qatar 2022 app (available for iOS and Android).

Obtaining a Hayya Card will also grant access to free travel on public transport for the duration of the tournament and numerous discounts at competition venues.

In addition:

1. According to the new rule adopted by the Supreme Committee and the authorities, Hayya cardholders will be able to invite up to 3 people who do not have tickets to visit the country under the "Hayya with Me" program.

2. After applying through the online platform, fans with a Hayya Card will be able to receive 3 codes to share with their friends and family.

3. Appliсants will also be required to provide proof of residence in Qatar at the time of the tournament.
