Qatar eSIM

Not in advance with a British passport: a tourist visa is issued on arrival for 30 days, extendable through the Ministry of Interior before it expires. The UK government says your passport needs six months' validity; you're fined if you stay past 30 days without extending, payable before you leave, and stays over 30 days also need health insurance from a registered provider.

Not if you stay inside the airport: UK government guidance puts the airside transit limit at 24 hours. Go through passport control — to collect bags, say — and the normal entry rules apply.

Most travellers don't. Each plan's details say whether it includes a local number.

Ooredoo, Vodafone. Which one you connect to depends on local signal.

Yes. Operators here are listed with 4G / 5G; each plan's networks show which.

It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps / 5 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 384 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.

It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network. You can install it before you go.

106 of these plans state personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance. Look for “Personal hotspot” in the plan details.

No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.

Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.

Yes. The listed price is the final price.
