Get your Hayya Card ready
Once you have got the tickets of your choice, the travellers to Qatar also need to get their Hayya Card made. It will be a digital card and would be your entry permit to the State of Qatar and your stadium access (along with your match ticket).
FIFA on its website says, “International fans will also need to confirm their accommodation plans to receive final approval on their digital Hayya Card. To apply for Hayya, and to book accommodation, please visit Qatar2022.qa or download the Hayya to Qatar 2022 app (available for iOS, Android and Huawei).”
“The Hayya Card is operated by the government of the State of Qatar. FIFA is not responsible for its application process, issuance and/or use. For any questions about Hayya Card please contact [email protected] or call 800.2022 (Qatar) or (+974) 4441.2022 (International). For any questions about accommodation bookings, please contact [email protected],” FIFA has added further.
How should the ticket holders travel to Qatar?
There are two options for the ticket holders to travel to Qatar. They can either book a direct flight to Doha or book a flight to Dubai. The Dubai option has come in because of two things. At this time, the stay in Doha will be very expensive and so would the flight tickets. For eg, a normal google search will show that the current minimum fare for November 19, 2022, non-stop flight to Doha from New Delhi is around 33,000. The accommodation costs in Doha are going to be very expensive as well.
On the other hand, if you choose to travel to Dubai and then book a low-cost flight from Dubai to Doha, you can save a lot. Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is gearing up to have its low-cost carrier FlyDubai run as many as 30 trips a day into Doha to allow spectators to watch a match and then shuttle back to hotels in the emirate.
