CONSULAR EMERGENCY

Get help in an urgent situation.

If someone is in immediate danger in Qatar, call 999 first. That number reaches the police, the ambulance service and civil defence.

For a consular emergency — arrest or detention, hospitalisation, a death, a missing person, or a lost passport — call the Embassy on +974 4478 4791. Keep a phone number ready where the mission can call you back.

The Embassy can contact your family, explain the local procedure and help with an emergency travel document. It cannot pay bills, provide a lawyer, or intervene in a court case.

  • Do not send copies of a passport until an officer asks for them.

What to tell the Embassy

  • Your full name and nationality.

  • What has happened, and whether the police or a hospital are involved.
