Free access to government services
Metrash2 is a free business and productivity mobile app that enables citizens and residents of Qatar to obtain a wide range of Ministry of Interior (MoI) services while enjoying the convenience of using their cell phones. Services like inquiring about official documents, creating and paying for permits and such are available through an easy-to-use user interface.
Qatar’s Ministry has introduced Metrash2 as it forms a large part of the country’s services provided by the Expats Affairs Department. It enables residents to apply for family visit visas electronically and through the MOI Web portal.
Services at your fingertips
Through the Metrash2 app, you can get more than 150 services. A wide variety of services is available on your mobile phone such as traffic violation settlements, visitor visas for personal and corporate sponsorships, resident permit (RP), exit permit (EP) services, electronic gate (e-Gate), and general-purpose queries. The e-application for family visit visas for residents is also added to this app.
The app also allows you to upload all your documents at once and track the status of your applications. Once your application is approved, you can pay the fees online. If you didn’t attach all of the required documents or if they don’t match what you entered in your application, you will be notified and asked to correct this information.
To register, you must have a valid Smart ID and your cell phone number registered under your name. This app is available in six languages: Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Urdu, and Malayalam. It is user-friendly, simple in design, and provides all the necessary features. However, it lacks a more appealing graphic design and requires the latest mobile OS versions to even work properly.
Convenient and hassle-free
Metrash2 provides mobile citizens with government e-services via an easy-to-use platform with six languages available. It offers a wide range of immigration services, including the family visit visa. Its user-friendly interface helps users obtain information about different services and track their applications’ status. However, it lacks a standout design and can be unstable if you’re not using the latest OS.
