About the Qatari Riyal in Pakistan
Qatar’s Pakistani workforce grew sharply through the last decade of construction, and the riyal now moves through the same channels as its Saudi namesake — bank remittances plus cash carried home on leave.
The Qatari riyal is pegged to the dollar at 3.64. Its rupee rate is effectively the dollar rate divided by that peg, so it moves when USD/PKR moves and rarely otherwise.

Common questions
What is the QAR to PKR rate today?
One Qatari Riyal costs 76.48 Pakistani rupees to buy on the open market, and selling one gets you 76.14 rupees. This is the national open market rate, maintained by our editorial team and updated through the day — an individual counter may quote either side of it.
Why is the QAR rate at the counter different from the interbank rate?
The interbank rate is a wholesale price for trades between banks in size. A counter has to cover the cost of holding physical notes, the risk that the rate moves while it holds them, and its own margin. That gap is normal; what varies is how wide it is, which is why comparing branches is worth doing.
Where can I exchange QAR in Pakistan?
At any exchange company licensed by the State Bank of Pakistan. We list 129 cities with verified branches, and every company shown is checked against the SBP register before it appears.
Do I need documents to buy QAR?
Yes. Your original CNIC, NICOP or POC is always required, and biometric verification applies to Pakistani nationals from USD 500 upwards. A travel purchase also needs a passport, the visa where applicable, and a confirmed ticket, with supporting documents required from USD 1,000 upwards.
