Key Points
- Qatar will join the US visa waiver program beginning December 1, 2024
Overview
Starting December 1, 2024, Qatari nationals can apply to travel to the United States as B-1/B-2 visitors under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). If eligible, they won’t need a visa from a US consulate for business or tourist travel.
Under the VWP, business visitors can engage in approved B-1 activities in the US for up to 90 days. Applicants must submit their applications using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) at least 72 hours before travel.
