The Ministry of Interior, through a series of tweets on Saturday, has reminded citizens and residents that effective from September 1, 2024, traffic law violators will not be allowed to leave the country through any state borders (land, air, and sea) without paying the fines and dues through the Metrash2 application, Ministry of Interior website, traffic sections, or unified service centres.
Director of Public Relations Department at the Ministry of Interior Brigadier Abdullah Khalifa Al Muftah announced that a 50 percent discount on the value of traffic violations for all motor vehicles will be applied from June 1, 2024 until August 31, 2024. The discount includes violations recorded within no more than three years.
The discount will end on August 31 and the Ministry has urged everyone to make use of the offer.
The Ministry of Interior also reminded the public of the procedures for returning vehicles with Qatari plates that have been permitted to leave the country.
“Vehicles permitted to leave Qatar must be returned within six months from the departure date. The permit can be extended for additional period or periods. Vehicles located in GCC countries are exempt from this requirement, provided they undergo a technical inspection in Qatar,” the ministry said.
“Vehicles that have been outside the country since before the implementation of these regulations on 22 May 2024 must be returned unless the owner obtains a permit allowing the vehicle to remain abroad for an extended period or multiple periods.”
