Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | Jordanian passport holders need an eVisa to enter Qatar. Apply through the Hukoomi portal — the official government eVisa platform. Processing usually takes 3-5 business days, so apply at least a week before your flight.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for the entire period you plan to stay in Qatar. No minimum validity beyond your departure date is required by Qatari immigration, but airlines may enforce 6 months — check with your carrier before check-in. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure | Immigration at Hamad International Airport routinely asks for a confirmed onward or return ticket. Have a printed or digital copy ready — they check this before stamping you in. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a hotel confirmation or a letter from your Qatari host with their QID number. Immigration may ask for it, especially if you're staying with friends or family rather than a hotel. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show sufficient cash or card | Have a credit card or around 5,000 QAR in cash available. Immigration rarely asks, but if you're flagged as a potential overstayer, they'll want to see you can support yourself. | Recommended |
eVisa required — no visa on arrival
Jordanian passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Qatar. You must apply for and receive an eVisa before you travel. Don't book non-refundable flights until your eVisa is approved.
Passport validity counts from arrival, not departure
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Qatar, not from when you leave. If your passport expires in 5 months, renew it first.
