Hayya Portal allows Qatar residents to host up to five guests
The Hayya Portal has been upgraded to make visiting Qatar for leisure or business easier.
The portal has also made it easy for residents who want to invite family members to sign up as hosts and add properties to the platform.
The Hayya webpage explains the process, “Any Qatar residents with valid QID and proof of address registered on Metrash2 app can sign up as a host on Hayya and add one (1) property.” “On the registered property, the maximum number of guests that can be added is five.”
The guest added to a family and friends list cannot be deleted once added, thus residents must supply precise information about the guests.
It was also stated that a property can only be removed from the Hayya portal if the guest list associated with it is empty.
