Qatar Airways recently introduced a new online system that allows travellers on the airline, including South Africans, to apply online for tourist visas to Qatar.
Only one-month single-entry tourist visas are available and the visa must be used within 60 days of the date of issue. The validity and the visa period cannot be extended.
The process takes approximately 10 days and the cost is US$55 (R599) per person. The option to fast track the application is available at a cost of US$120 (R1 307) per person and takes approximately seven days to process.
The service can be accessed from Qatar's website.
