Entry details

On a Vatican City passport, you get a visa on arrival โ€” no embassy visit needed for Qatar. The Vatican City passport currently ranks #59 of 199 worldwide, with 135 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.

Qatar is selective but not restrictive, admitting 99 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #95 with 106 open destinations. Notably you have the advantage โ€” the reverse trip is harder, with Qatar citizens facing visa required to enter Vatican City.

In the opposite direction, Qatar citizens travelling to Vatican City face: visa required.
