Qatar has temporarily suspended the visa on arrival facility for Pakistani citizens, according to reports on Tuesday.
The decision was taken due to the current regional situation.
The Pakistani embassy has advised citizens to obtain a valid visa before travelling to Qatar.
It warned that passengers arriving without a visa may be denied entry or sent back from the airport.
The embassy asked travellers to complete their visa documents before departure.
It also advised them to confirm the latest information with Qatari authorities or visa centres to avoid any legal or travel issues.
Qatar had previously offered a visa on arrival to Pakistani citizens, but the facility has now been suspended for the time being due to rising regional tensions.
