Doha: The Ministry of Interior (MoI) released a reminder of a feature in Metrash mobile application allowing travelers from Qatar to Saudi Arabia to pre-register in Abu Samra border crossing.
“This service allows citizens and residents to plan their travel in advance with ease and convenience,” Says Major Abdullah Hamad Al-Sowaidi, officer at the Systems Development Department of the General Directorate of Communications and Information Systems.
He adds, “This service has been updated with several new features, like reviewing and updating previous trips, re-applying for a prior trip, and adding travelers including GCC citizens and visitors from other nationalities.”
Qatari vehicle owners can pre-register by logging in their Metrash mobile application, whether travelling themselves or they can authorize someone else to drive the vehicle, provided that an exit permit is issued in the driver’s name.
The steps to pre-register using the Metrash mobile application are as follows:
Drivers and passengers and visitors from GCC countries can be added using their ID or passport number.
The application features a document reader to simplify copying passport information.
Additionally, users can edit the registration or add and delete passengers or drivers.
Visitors with a non-Qatari vehicle can also pre-register through the Hayya platform or application.
All travelers through this border crossing are encouraged to pre-register to expedite border procedures, improve their travel experience, and insure a smooth and safe journey to their destinations.
