Government has initiated plans to evacuate Ghanaian nationals from Qatar following growing security concerns in the region.
The announcement was made by the Embassy of Ghana in Doha in a notice issued on March 15, 2026.
According to the embassy, the Ghana evacuation from Qatar forms part of precautionary measures being taken in response to the evolving security situation in parts of the Middle East.

The notice follows an earlier advisory issued on March 6 which alerted Ghanaian residents in Qatar to developments in the region.
The embassy indicated that the planned Ghana evacuation from Qatar will be strictly a one-way arrangement from Qatar to Ghana.
Ghanaians who wish to participate in the evacuation exercise have therefore been urged to confirm their interest without delay.
As part of the process, affected individuals are required to submit the biodata page of their passports via email to doha@mfa.gov.gh.
The embassy said the required information must be submitted no later than Tuesday, March 17, 2026, to allow authorities to make the necessary arrangements.
Officials explained that the decision to initiate the Ghana evacuation from Qatar is aimed at safeguarding Ghanaian citizens should the security situation deteriorate further.
The development comes as several countries review contingency plans for their nationals living across the Middle East amid rising regional tensions.
