There are few things better than having tickets to attend the World Cup right now. Hayya Card holders attending FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 have another new perk: They can get a UAE multiple-entry tourist visa.
On Tuesday August 30, the UAE Government Media Office revealed that Hayya Card holders attending a match can apply for a UAE multiple-entry tourist visa.
Want in? Hayya Card holders attending the World Cup can apply online for the UAE multiple-entry tourist visa. With the visa, Hayya Card holders gain entry and can stay in the United Arab Emirates for up to 90 days from the date of issuance. The special UAE tourist visa allows for multiple entries during its validity.
Ready to apply? Visa applications open on Tuesday November 1, ahead of the start of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Another bonus is there is a reduced, one-time visa fee of Dhs100.
