What is a Hayya card and why you need it for FIFA World Cup 2022?

Posted by Tsoku Maela on 31 October 2022

The 2022 FIFA World Cup will take place in Qatar between 20 November and 18 December. Entry into the country for the duration of the coveted competition is only permitted with an approved Hayya card.

A Hayya card is a Fan ID that allows ticket-holders entry into Qatar and will provide entry to stadiums in conjunction with a valid match ticket, access to free public transport on match days and will facilitate smart journey planning, via the Haaya App.

To apply for a Haaya card, visitors must hold a valid ticket for an official World Cup event. For a fee, ticket holders may use their approved Haaya card to bring in three friends or relatives who do not hold a ticket for one of the official World Cup events.

According to AlJazeera, international visitors applying for the Hayya card will need to wait about five days for their application to be approved while those within the country can receive it within three days. International visitors will also be required to provide accommodation details for their stay and information about their emergency contact.

Further information can be found here and on the Hayya FAQ portal.
