Ministry of Interior on its website shares another update for Indians arriving in Qatar on arrival visas. 

According to the latest update in the requirements, a credit card is no longer mandatory to enter Qatar on arrival visas. The tourist should either have a credit card or a debit card in his or her name while arriving in the country. 

Previously it was mandatory for the traveller or the head of the family that arrives in a group to possess a valid credit card in their name. 

Apart from this change, the other rules remain the same, including no extension of stay beyond 30 days, passport with over the six-month validity and a requirement for a confirmed hotel reservation and return ticket.

Prior to November 11, Indians, who are among the six major visitors to Qatar, could extend their on arrival visa to stay for a maximum period of 60 days.
