Qatar has placed India on the visa free 80 nationalities list but Pakistan was not included in the list by the Qatar government.
Hassan al-Ibrahim, a Qatar’s tourism department official, said, “The visa exemption scheme will make Qatar the most open country in the region”.
Interior ministry official Mohamed Rashed al-Mazroui said the nationals of 80 countries would only need to present a valid passport for entry to the energy-rich Gulf state which is to host football’s 2022 World Cup, reported Kuwait Times.
