DOHA: Individuals with traffic violations will not be permitted to travel outside Qatar until all fines and due payments are settled, the country’s Ministry of Interior said on Wednesday.
Effective September 1, 2024, traffic violators will not be allowed to leave the country through any state borders (land, air and sea) until fine dues are fully paid.
Meanwhile, as a step to encourage early payment of traffic violation fines, the Ministry also announced that Qatari citizens, residents, visitors and citizens of Gulf Cooperation Council countries (GCC) will be eligible for a 50% discount on the fine.
