I will have a 15 hour layover in Doha. I have been Pre approved and have a lane 1 - pre registration document. I do not need to quarantine.

I have loaded the app but doesn’t seem to work. Reading through this it seems it will only activate once I am there. Some questions please.

1) how expensive is the cheapest SIM card? I read that some were trying to activate the app with WiFi. Is that possible in the airport? I am trying to minimize delays or surprises. Just wondering if I should bite the bullet and get a SIM card.

2) I am an American. I have read I do not need a visa. So just inputting my passport information should activate the app?

3) I need to present a PCR test upon arrival or do I need to upload it? It needs to be taken no earlier than 48 hours before the flight departure time, correct?

4) I need the app to be green when I return to the airport right? Should I be worried? I saw someone mention that above.

5) any other suggestions to make this a painless layover? Am I missing something? Seems like Uber works there.

6) if you register over WiFi - does it need a phone number? What I mean is will you get some text confirmation? I guess I could use google voice.

7) Apologies, but I am a little confused about the testing within 24 hours, will I need to test again to leave? Sorry it doesn’t makes sense since I am only there for 15 hours but I don’t want to miss a detail.

Thanks. Appreciate your help. If possible could you mention when you were there? It seems like requirements and restrictions seem to be constantly changing. I guess more recent would be helpful, but I will take any advice someone is willing to offer. I’m very excited!
