Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Interior (MOI) has reminded residents and citizens that the Metrash app allows users to apply for work visa issuance easily and conveniently.

In a social media post, the MOI stated that users do not need to visit the General Directorate of Passports or unified services centers to obtain a work visa through the app. 

Explaining the steps for work visa issuance, the ministry said:
- Under the 'Visa' services section, click on 'Request Application'
- Choose the service type as ‘Work Visa'
- Select the visa and click on ‘Issue visa’
- Enter the required data, upload the passport copy and personal photograph 
- Review and confirm the data, make the payment and submit the application
- Once done, wait for approval.

Launched as part of Qatar’s wider digital government ecosystem, the Metrash platform provides users with a range of services — from residency inquiries to traffic fines and direct reporting functionality.
