Cost of Qatar's 5-year passport released
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Qatar published the official cost of its five-year passport for applicants.
The schedule, published by the ministry's Nationality and Travel Documents Department, covers nine government services with fees denominated in Qatari Riyals (QAR). The most expensive item on the list is an application for Qatari nationality, which costs QAR 3,000 (about ₦1,397,850). Those applying to have their Qatari nationality restored — known as returning nationality — pay QAR 2,000 (about ₦931,900).
Obtaining a Qatari passport itself, which is valid for five years for adults and shorter periods for children depending on age, costs just QAR 100 (about ₦46,595). A Qatari travel document, which serves as an alternative for travel purposes, is priced at QAR 400 (about ₦186,380), while a pass permit costs QAR 500 (about ₦232,975). Should an ID card be lost or damaged, both Qatari citizens and GCC nationals pay QAR 200 (about ₦93,190) for a replacement.
