It will become easier for people to apply to tourist visas to visit Qatar once the system becomes electronic, the Ministry of Interior has said.

In a statement this week, Maj. Nasser Jaber Al Maliki, Head of the Travel Permits Section at the Airport Passports Department, said that “return visas” for people under personal sponsorship can now be applied for online via MOI’s website, Metrash 2 and self service kiosks. He added that the tourist visa option will be added “soon.”
