Do you know how to use the E-Gate facility at Hamad International Airport?
If you are a Qatari or resident of Qatar and have travelled through the Hamad International Airport (HIA) in recent times, then you would have noticed the easy-to-use E-Gate facility.
Gone are the long queues and delays and it has been replaced by efficient machines. The E-Gate facility, which can be used at both the entry and exit points of the HIA, helps in the quick completion of passport control procedures.
The E-Gate facility, which was launched last year, was made free for expatriates earlier in 2017.
Any resident who is above 18 years of age and have normal Qatar ID cards can make use of the system. If you haven’t got an E-Gate card, get one now. If you already have an E-Gate card, then refresh your memory on how to use it with this simple graphic, first published at the Ministry of Interior’s official Facebook page.
It would be really convenient but the fact that it is not applicable for child below 18 that is such a bummer as we travel as family so I couldn’t leave my 12 years old child behind so it should allow children to be able to apply as well.
