Moi Visa Printing
Checking your Qatar visa status and printing the official document is a straightforward process that can be done entirely online through the Ministry of Interior (MOI) portal. Whether you are a tourist, a business traveler, or a resident, having a digital or physical copy of your visa is essential for a smooth entry into the country.
Here is a complete guide on how to navigate the MOI Qatar visa inquiry and printing service.
1. How to Check Your Visa Status
You can check your status using either your Visa Number or your Passport Number.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Visit the Official MOI Website: Go to portal.moi.gov.qa.
- Navigate to Inquiries: On the homepage, click on the "Inquiries" icon (usually represented by a magnifying glass).
- Select Visa Services: From the list of options on the left-hand side, click on "Visa Services."
- Choose Inquiry & Printing: Click on the "Visa Inquiry & Printing" option.
- Enter Your Details:
- Option A: Enter your Visa Number (15 digits).
- Option B: Enter your Passport Number.
- Select Nationality: Choose your nationality from the dropdown menu (only required if searching by passport number).
- Verification: Enter the 3-digit CAPTCHA code shown on the screen.
- Submit: Click the "Submit" button.
2. Printing Your Qatar Visa
Once you have clicked "Submit," your visa details will appear on the screen. If your visa has been approved and issued, you will see a summary of the details, including the expiry date and visa type.
- To Print: Look for the Print icon (usually a small printer symbol) or a button labeled "Print Visa."
- Save as PDF: If you don't have a printer handy, you can select "Save as PDF" in your print settings to keep a digital copy on your phone or laptop.
3. Alternative Methods
If the MOI website is busy or you prefer using a mobile device, you have other options:
Metrash2 App
This is the official mobile application for the Ministry of Interior.
- Process: Log in to the app, go to "Visa Services," then "Visa Inquiry & Printing." It provides the same information as the web portal but is optimized for mobile use.
Qatar Visa Center (QVC)
If you are an applicant from a country where QVC handles the processing (like India, Pakistan, or the Philippines), you can track your application status directly on the Qatar Visa Center website using your passport number.
4. Troubleshooting Common Issues
- "Invalid Details": Double-check that your passport number is entered exactly as it appears in your travel document (including any letters).
- Visa Not Found: If you just applied, it may take 24–48 hours for the system to update.
- Expired Visa: If your visa has expired, the system will still show the record but will clearly mark the status as "Expired."
