eSIM Travel Tips for Doha
Install your eSIM before your Qatar Airways flight
Qatar Airways flies from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and many other Indian cities to Doha's Hamad International Airport (DOH). Install your HelloRoam Qatar eSIM at home. Ooredoo 5G activates when you land at DOH.
Keep your Jio or Airtel SIM for calls from India
Use dual-SIM with HelloRoam for data and your Indian SIM active for incoming calls. VoIP call restrictions in Qatar mean you should keep your Indian number active for family voice calls.
Indian passport holders need a Qatar e-Visa
Indian passport holders can apply for a Qatar e-visa online at portal.moi.gov.qa or get a visa on arrival at DOH for free (a recent policy extension). Check the current visa policy before travel as it can change.
Souq Waqif and the traditional market area are excellent
Souq Waqif is Doha's traditional market for spices, fabrics, and local handicrafts. A large Indian community in Doha means you will find plenty of Indian food in the Souk area. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps you connected for navigation and family WhatsApp updates.
VoIP restrictions apply in Qatar
WhatsApp voice calls, FaceTime, and other VoIP services are restricted in Qatar by the telecom regulator. WhatsApp messaging and data browsing work normally. Use your Indian SIM or an approved calling service for voice calls.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
