Qatar's Ministry of Interior (MOI) has announced the termination of automatic extension of all types of expired or nearly expired entry visas, effective Sunday, June 7.

In a post on its official X platform, the MOI said that standard procedures and guidelines approved for all types of entry visas – including validity periods and applicable fees – would resume from that date, said a QNA report.

The ministry urged all residents, visitors and stakeholders to regularise their status by renewing their visas, paying the prescribed fees within the specified periods, or leaving the country upon the expiration of their visas to avoid legal penalties linked to overstaying.
