Qatar waives quarantine requirement for FIFA World Cup

Travellers from Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, and Sri Lanka were on Qatar’s Red List and previously had to quarantine to avoid the spread of Covid-19.

All visitors must still provide a negative PCR test result not older than 48 hours, or a rapid antigen test not older than 24 hours, regardless of vaccination status.

This will be the first FIFA World Cup ever held in an Arab country.
