Qatar No Longer Grants Visas to Its “Enemies
< Back to News
According to Qatar’s secretary-general of the National Tourism Council, the country has refused to grant visas to Egyptians. This is due to on-going political conflicts. In 2017, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Egypt cut diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism.

随着政治纷争不断，卡达将停止核发签证给埃及公民。
来自沙特阿拉伯、阿拉伯联合大公国及巴林的人，早在2017年就已被禁止入境卡达，当时这些国家指控该国支持恐怖主义，因而与其断绝外交和贸易关系。
在一场推广夏季观光的活动上，卡达的观光理事会秘书长贝克表示，将不再核准签证给该国视为敌人的国家。根据《路透社》报导，贝克直言：「签证只发放给我们的盟友。」「这些国家会发签证给我们吗？不会。那我们为什么要开放给他们呢？这一切都是互相的。」
埃及人为卡达境内人数最多的阿拉伯少数族群，而不像其他三个海湾国家的公民，
他们尚未被召回母国。
虽然卡达也还未驱逐境内的埃及人，但自2017年起，除其国内的埃及住民近亲和获许可的特殊活动外，该国已关闭对埃及国民的签证程序。

Qatar is no longer granting visas to Egyptians due to on-going political conflicts.
Those from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain were banned from entering the country when they cut diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar in 2017, accusing it of supporting terrorism.
At an event that promoted a summer tourism campaign, secretary-general of the National Tourism Council, Akbar al-Baker firmly announced Qatar will not grant visas to those it considers enemies, visas “will be open for our friends. Are visas open for us to go there? No. So why should we open it for them? Everything is reciprocal,” Reuters reported.
Egyptians, who make up the largest Arab minority in Qatar, have not yet been recalled to their home country, unlike the citizens from the three Gulf states.
So far, Qatar has not deported any Egyptian residents.
However, the visa process has effectively been closed to most Egyptians since 2017, with exceptions for close family members of residents and for authorised events.
