Filipinos in Qatar are either migrants or descendants of the Philippines living in Qatar. Around 260,000 Filipinos live in Qatar,[1][2] and frequently work in construction and service jobs.[3] As of early 2017, Filipinos are estimated to be the fourth-largest group of foreign workers in Qatar, after Indians, Nepalis and Bangladeshis.[1] With 56,277 Filipinos arriving between January and November 2008, Qatar is the third-largest destination of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW's) in the Middle East after the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia,[4] and also the fourth-largest destination of OFW's worldwide.[5] Despite this, and the removal of the Philippines from the pandemic-related travel-restriction "Red List" in August, 2022, Philippine nationals are unable to apply for Qatar tourist visas.[6]
