Drone Law in Doha: What You Must Know Before You Fly

Drone Law in Doha: What You Must Know Before You Fly

In Qatar, drone operations require prior authorization from the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority (QCAA); unapproved flights are illegal. Only Qatari citizens and permanent residents may operate drones; foreign visitors are not permitted to fly. Every drone flight requires a QCAA permit, and owning a drone does not grant the right to fly. Recreational drone use is tightly restricted to Qatari nationals or residents who obtain a QCAA permit for each flight, typically within designated clubs such as the RC Sport Center, and must stay below 400 feet, in daylight, and within line of sight. Commercial drone use is allowed only
