The Qatari Ministry of Interior has officially expanded the nation’s list of authorized border crossings, incorporating two strategic locations to the existing network. According to a formal decision issued on November 8, both the Umm Al Houl Base Port and the Dukhan Air Base Airport have been designated as official points for entry and exit. This update serves as an amendment to previous regulations established in 2023, formalizing the operational status of these specific maritime and aerial facilities.

With these new additions, which took effect on November 9, 2026, the country now maintains a total of 12 official ports of entry spanning its land, sea, and air borders. Relevant authorities have been directed to integrate these locations into their jurisdictional frameworks immediately. This expansion reflects Qatar’s ongoing efforts to streamline its logistics and travel infrastructure, ensuring that the country’s growing transport network is fully supported by regulated and authorized entry points.
