Poland to Qatar

Polish citizens do not need a visa or any travel authorisation to enter Qatar for tourism; you may enter visa‑free for up to 90 days. This visa‑free entry does not permit paid work or study.
Which documents do I need?
You must travel on a biometric passport — a biometric passport is the accepted travel document for Polish citizens. A national identity card, a driving licence and a temporary passport are not accepted for entry.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry into Qatar.
Are vaccinations required for Qatar?
No vaccinations are required to enter Qatar for this route. Health guidance on the source recommends avoiding contact with camels because of reported MERS cases and consulting health specialists for up‑to‑date vaccine advice.

Children under 18 need only the same accepted travel document as adults—a biometric passport. No parental consent letter or additional paperwork is required for minors on this route.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is a condition of entry and must be purchased from a supplier in Qatar. For stays longer than 30 days the insurance must be from providers approved by Qatar's Ministry of Public Health; the source notes a standard cost of 50 QAR per month for that approved cover.
