If you’re a Nigerian planning a trip to Qatar in 2025, you may have noticed that the visa process is no longer as simple as it used to be. You’ve likely heard that the Hayya platform no longer works, and many travelers have been left wondering:

Can Nigerians still visit Qatar in 2025?

The short answer is yes — but only through the right channel. This article explains everything you need to know about what changed, how to travel legally, and how Opulentiz can help you navigate the new rules

Why the Hayya Visa No Longer Works for Nigerians

During the FIFA World Cup and in the months that followed, Nigerians could travel to Qatar using the Hayya platform, which simplified visa processing for many nationalities. But in late 2023, Qatar shut down the Hayya system for most African countries — including Nigeria.

This means that as of 2025:

You can no longer apply for a Qatar visa using Hayya.
Many Nigerians who try the old route get rejected or receive no response.

This change has led to a lot of confusion and misinformation in the travel space. But there is a new system in place.

What Changed: The Discover Qatar Partnership Model

To improve security and manage tourist applications more effectively, Qatar introduced a new policy:Only approved and registered partners of Discover Qatar are now allowed to process tourist visa applications for Nigerians.

This means:

Only a registered Discover Qatar partner can legally help you apply.
Most traditional travel agents do not have access to this new system.
Trying to go through unofficial channels can lead to delays or denied entry.
