Qatar removes visa requirement for Austrian citizens

Citizens of 80 countries – including Austria – will no longer need to apply for a visa when traveling to Qatar. Now they will receive a free permit on arrival for multiple entries and exits if they can present a transit ticket or return ticket. For the citizens of 33 countries – including Austria, Germany, Switzerland – this approval is valid for 180 days, during which they can stay in Qatar for a total of 90 days. Nationals of 47 additional countries can spend up to 30 days in the emirate and extend this period by an additional 30 days if needed. These countries include the USA, Russia, Great Britain, China, Japan and Australia.
