While continuing its efforts to improve e-services, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has introduced new features on Metrash2.
These features include a facility to issue Residency Permit with birth certificate for newborns and the renewal of residency permit of employees.
The new e-wallet service with official documents including Qatar ID and driving licence can be used for MoI services and enables sharing documents through WhatsApp, e-mail and messages.
Another new facility on Metrash2 helps companies renew Residency Permit for employees automatically without intervention of public relation officers.
“The companies need to open an account with QNB and link it to their Metrash2 accounts. Companies will get notifications as the residency permits (of the employees under their sponsorship) are about to expire. They are renewed with the fee deducted from the bank account. The renewed Qatar IDs are delivered to the company through Qatar Post,” said First Lt Ali Ahmed al-Eidrous, officer at Smart Devices Branch at E Services Section of the General Directorate of Information System of MoI.
He was addressing an awareness seminar organised by the ministry on ‘E Services of the Ministry of Interior’ yesterday for company representatives, community leaders and the general public.
Al-Eidrous, who explained the functions and features of Metrash2, said crimes could be reported to the relevant authorities by making use of the feature that is available with the ‘Communication With Us’ window of the application. “There is no need to go to the police station to lodge complaints if crimes are spotted,” he said.
Various services regarding visa application, renewal and extension could be easily carried out with Metrash2 without going to immigration offices, the official added.
