ISLAMABAD, Sept. 19 (Xinhua) -- Qatar has decided to grant free of charge visas to Pakistani nationals for a period of 30 days on arrival in Qatar, the country's ambassador in Islamabad said on Tuesday.

An embassy statement issued by Ambassador of Qatar to Pakistan Saqr bin Mubarak Al Mansouri said that the passengers must have valid passport for at least six months.

The statement said the passengers must have confirmed returned ticket.

Pakistanis coming directly from Pakistan should have a certificate of vaccination against polio according to the procedure currently in place, the statement said.

Last month, Qatar introduced a visa-on-arrival facility for Pakistani passport holders.

Earlier this month, Qatar offered visa-free entry to 80 countries amid tensions with Saudi Arabia and some of its allies.
