Hi,

Does anyone know if I may experience difficulties to enter Qatar when my passport has evidence of travel to Israel, such as entry and/or exit stamp.

Thank you.

Be prepared

Immigration DOES NOT have time to look at all the stamps. THEY WILL, however, ask you where you are coming from. We truthfully replied "Jordan" as that is where we flew in and out of. No matter than we only spent 2 days there and 10 days in Israel.

My husband has exited and re-entered Qatar without problems for the last 2 years with an Israeli stamp in his passport.

Hopefully in the future this should be strictly applied like Lebanon - anyone who entered "ISRAEL" will not be allowed to enter any Arab country.

Do you really think immigration have the time to look at every stamp in every passport? Not on your Nelly!

Israel

It is a rumor. All 7 of my family members visited Israel. Usually you ask Israeli immigration to stamp a piece of paper, instead of your passport. They do this often and know what you are talking about. Unfortunately, they forgot and stamped my husband's real passport. He re-entered Qatar without any problem.
