The General Directorate of Nationality, Borders and Expatriate Affairs in the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has launched a service through which business visas and truck drivers’ visas will be issued through Metrash2 and the MoI website. |
This move is aimed at putting an end to paper-based transactions to obtain such services.
Metrash2 is the smartphone application provided by the Ministry of Interior.
The new electronic service has been introduced in the context of simplifying the procedures for the services provided by the MoI, through relying on modern technology.
Brig Abdullah Salim al-Ali, director-general of the General Directorate of Nationality, Borders and Expatriate Affairs, said the business visa service through Metrash2 and the MoI website will be available on the condition that the company is operating in Qatar and should be recognised by the department concerned.
The fees will be the same as those levied so far.
Further, he said a tourist visa service would be launched through Metrash2 and the MoI website soon, by which recognised Qatari companies can get such visa in accordance with the above-mentioned terms and conditions.
