Pendaftaran akan dilakukan secara online, tidak lagi melalui hamlah.
Expatriates planning to go for Haj from Qatar this year will be required to apply online.
Earlier the registration was done through the authorised Haj tour operators (Muqawils). The Haj Committee has decided to do away with this system and introduce online registration from the next Haj season. Applications will now be received through the Haj committee website www.hajj.gov.qa. However, nationals will continue to register with the Muqawils.
Registration will begin before the Holy month of Ramadan and the public will be informed about the dates through an official announcement.
Only those expatriates who have been residing in Qatar for at least three years will be eligible to apply. Applications from those who performed the pilgrimage over the past five years will not be accepted. People who are on visit to Qatar are also not eligible to apply. Registration rules will be made available on the Haj Committee website soon.
