Hajj 1448 application deadline October 20
The Department of Hajj and Umrah Affairs at the Ministry of Awqaf has begun accepting registration applications from those wishing to perform the Hajj pilgrimage from Qatar for the 1448 Hijri season. Applications are submitted through the Hajj Electronic Portal (hajj.gov.qa) until October 20th. To register, applicants must be at least 18 years old and Qatar nationals, with the possibility of adding up to three companions. For residents and citizens of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, applicants must be at least 45 years old, have never performed Hajj before, and are allowed to have only one companion. Additionally, applicants must have resided continuously in Qatar for at least 15 years. The electronic screening process for applications is scheduled to begin immediately after the registration period ends, with acceptance notifications sent via SMS to those who meet the criteria starting from the end of October. Applicants must also submit a certificate of health fitness (medically fit) as a fundamental condition for registration; the result will be recorded electronically. Furthermore, a deposit of 10,000 Qatari Riyals is payable upon completing the contracting procedures—this is not considered a registration fee. Qatar's allocation for this season is 4,400 pilgrims. The application process will conclude with the selection of groups (campaigns) after the screening, to assist in making operational arrangements in accordance with the highest standards.
