Myanmar passport holders need an eVisa to enter Qatar. The process is entirely online and you must apply before you travel. As of 2026, this is the only visa option available for tourism or short visits.
Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| eVisa application Apply before travel | You need an eVisa to enter Qatar. Apply through the Hukoomi portal — the official government eVisa platform. Processing takes 3–5 business days, and you'll receive the approved visa by email. Print a copy to show at the airline check-in counter and at immigration in Doha.Apply for eVisa | Required |
| Valid passport Must be valid for the duration of stay | Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of arrival in Qatar. Airlines enforce this strictly — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding in Myanmar. No blank page requirement, but carry at least one free page for the entry stamp. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for entry | Immigration in Doha will ask for proof of onward travel — a return ticket to Myanmar or a ticket to a third country. Airlines also check this before issuing your boarding pass in Yangon. Have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Carry a confirmed hotel reservation or a letter of invitation from your host in Qatar. Immigration officers occasionally ask for this, especially if you're staying for more than a few days. A simple booking confirmation email is fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds Show you can support yourself | Have a bank statement or credit card showing you have enough money for your stay. Qatar doesn't publish a fixed minimum, but around $1,000 USD for a week-long trip is a safe benchmark. Immigration rarely asks, but it's better to have it. | Recommended |
eVisa required — no visa on arrival
Myanmar passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Qatar. You must apply for an eVisa online before you travel. Without an approved eVisa, you will be denied boarding.
Passport validity counts from arrival date
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the day you land in Qatar, not from your departure date. If your passport expires sooner, renew it first.
