Qatar Removes Quarantine Requirement for Vaccinated Brits

After the United Kingdom was removed from Qatar’s red travel list, vaccinated British visitors will no longer be required to quarantine upon arrival.

Last November, the UK was placed on Qatar’s high-risk travel list, along with 20 other nations, due to an increase in Covid-19 cases.

Following the modification announced on Monday night, only nine countries are still subject to isolation while visiting the country.

All tourists from the United Kingdom, on the other hand, must present a negative pre-travel PCR lab result valid within 48 hours of departure, as well as complete an online pre-travel registration at least three days before arrival.

According to Qatar Tourism, “Although uploading the PCR test result is not mandatory during the electronic pre-registration process, travellers who are required to have pre-travel PCR test must present the original copy of the PCR test result to the airline on which they are flying, to allow them to board the plane.”

Before landing in Qatar, passengers must sign a public health ministry undertaking and acknowledgment form.

The official ehteraz contact tracking app, operated by the Qatar Ministry of Public Health, is required for all travelers.

In other news, Oman has begun to relax its Covid travel requirements for overseas visitors.

Pre-registration via the Ministry of Health’s online form is no longer required.

Over-18s must show a vaccination certificate with a QR code proving they have received at least two doses of an approved Covid-19 vaccine.

They must present a negative Covid-19 PCR test upon arrival or within 24 hours of admission, as well as proof of disease-specific health insurance.
