Passport Renewal in Qatar for Filipinos (2026)
Quick answer
To renew a Philippine passport in Qatar, book a slot on passport.gov.ph for the Embassy in Doha, then appear in person with your current passport. The Embassy lists the ePassport fee at QAR 240, paid in cash. The Embassy also opened a Passport Renewal Center run by BLS International, with its own booking site. Replacing a lost passport costs QAR 600, plus QAR 100 to notarize the affidavit of loss.
What are the requirements?
The Embassy's checklist for an adult ePassport renewal:
- A confirmed online appointment from passport.gov.ph.
- The filled-in application form.
- Personal appearance.
- Your current ePassport and a photocopy of the data page.
- Original PSA documents if your name changes, such as a PSA marriage certificate.
For a lost passport, add a police report (with English translation if needed), a notarized affidavit of loss and a copy of the lost passport if you have one. The general list is in passport renewal abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Can I renew my passport at the Embassy in Doha without an appointment?
No. The Embassy lists a confirmed passport.gov.ph appointment as the first requirement.
I have an old green or maroon passport. What else do I need?
Older passports need more papers, such as your PSA birth certificate and a valid ID. The Embassy has a separate checklist for non-electronic passports on its passport page.
Can I go back to my maiden name in my passport?
Yes. The Embassy has an affidavit form for reverting to your maiden name in the passport. Ask the Consular Section which documents your case needs.
I lost my passport again. Is the fee different?
No. A frequently lost passport also costs QAR 600 plus QAR 100 for the affidavit, but you need a police report too. Without a copy of your latest passport, you are treated as a new applicant.
