Validity and stay duration are two separate things. Validity is the period during which you can use your visa to enter Qatar. Stay duration is the number of days you may remain after arrival. Both limits apply to your trip.
The Qatar eVisa application has three steps. Complete them in order, and your visa arrives online before your departure date.
