Qatar in retaliation to a few Arab countries decides not to grant its 'enemies' visas into the country.
DOHA: Qatar will not grant visas to those it considers “enemies”, the secretary-general of the National Tourism Council said in reference to Egyptians seeking to enter the country amid an ongoing political rift.
Doha denies the allegation. While citizens from the three Gulf states were recalled to their home countries due to the rift, Egyptians, who make up the largest Arab minority in Qatar, have remained and make up a sizeable portion of the tiny but wealthy country’s workforce. “The visa will not be open for our enemies – it will be open for our friends,” Baker said of Egyptians looking to come. “Are visas open for us to go there? No. So why should we open it for them? Everything is reciprocal.”
Qatar has not said it would deport Egyptian residents already in the country and the comments did not suggest a policy shift that could endanger their status.
