The UAE has announced a multiple-entry tourist visa for “Hayya” card holders attending the Fifa World Cup 2022, state news agency Wam has reported.
The Hayya Card will serve as an entry permit to Qatar, the host country, during the tournament period and is mandatory for football fans wishing to attend matches.
Visa applications will be accepted from November 1, 2022.
The visa, which costs Dh100, will be valid for 90 days from the date it is issued and can be extended for another 90 days.
Citizens of countries that do not need a visa to enter the UAE can come to the Emirates under existing rules.
How to apply
To obtain the special tourist visa, go to the website of the Federal Authority For Identity and Citizenship www.icp.gov.ae and choose the smart channels link.
After that, select public service from the main menu, press the Hayya Card holders visa option and fill out the application form.
On August 25, Saudi Arabia announced that it would open its borders to holders of the Hayya Card.
Hayya Card holders can spend up to 60 days in the kingdom during the World Cup season from November 1 to January 23 next year, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The Hayya Card gives holders a range of benefits, including free public transport on match days.

hall of shame
SUNDERLAND 2002-03
No one has ended a Premier League season quite like Sunderland. They lost each of their final 15 games, taking no points after January. They ended up with 19 in total, sacking managers Peter Reid and Howard Wilkinson and losing 3-1 to Charlton when they scored three own goals in eight minutes.
SUNDERLAND 2005-06
Until Derby came along, Sunderland’s total of 15 points was the Premier League’s record low. They made it until May and their final home game before winning at the Stadium of Light while they lost a joint record 29 of their 38 league games.
HUDDERSFIELD 2018-19
Joined Derby as the only team to be relegated in March. No striker scored until January, while only two players got more assists than goalkeeper Jonas Lossl. The mid-season appointment Jan Siewert was to end his time as Huddersfield manager with a 5.3 per cent win rate.
ASTON VILLA 2015-16
Perhaps the most inexplicably bad season, considering they signed Idrissa Gueye and Adama Traore and still only got 17 points. Villa won their first league game, but none of the next 19. They ended an abominable campaign by taking one point from the last 39 available.
FULHAM 2018-19
Terrible in different ways. Fulham’s total of 26 points is not among the lowest ever but they contrived to get relegated after spending over £100 million (Dh457m) in the transfer market. Much of it went on defenders but they only kept two clean sheets in their first 33 games.
LA LIGA: Sporting Gijon, 13 points in 1997-98.
BUNDESLIGA: Tasmania Berlin, 10 points in 1965-66
