Official wording

Nationals of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates) do not require a visa to enter Qatar.

Aevamo’s reading

Minister of Interior Decision No. 25 of 2019 issues the executive regulation of Law No. 21 of 2015 on the entry, exit and residence of expatriates. Article 3 imposes the entry-visa obligation on every expatriate, Article 31 provides that nationals of countries the Minister designates receive a visit visa on arrival or an exemption while 'nationals of all other countries' receive advance visit visas, and Article 13 empowers the Minister to exempt nationalities. It is therefore the instrument that creates the obligation; the MOI and Visit Qatar pages are the Minister's current designation lists under it.

The passage states that GCC nationals (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) do not require a visa to enter Qatar, so none of them needs any advance authorisation.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions

Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
