Data collected through the Embassy's registration site will be shared with these Committees for the states concerned. They will then study the requests and make recommendations to the Embassy for candidates to be accorded priority for each flight.
Persons in distress can get in touch with the relevant Committee by email, after registering on the Embassy portal and getting a confirmation. The Embassy will rely on the advice of these Committees to decide on the final priority list of passengers for each flight.
Please approach these Committees for assistance only after registering on the Embassy Portal. They will not be able to help you in the absence of full information. Further, if you have issues with your exit permit, you won't be able to leave Qatar on any of these flights.
“The number of flights to various locations in India depends on the number of registrations from people of that state and the capacity of the state government to medically examine the passengers and quarantine them. We will continue to work for as many flights to Doha as possible,” embassy added.
Earlier Ambassador of India to Qatar, P Kumaran had said that more flights to different parts of India are expected in the second phase of repatriation flights, which is expected to start from March 15.
“On successful registration, you will receive an email. All requests received will be studied & prioritized, using the justification provided. Given the large number of requests, it is possible that your name may not be covered for the next flight. We request your understanding.” Embassy said on Twitter.
“A large number of the earlier registrations for repatriation did not contain QID/visa numbers, causing difficulties with clearing such passengers for boarding, by the authorities concerned. Please register your data accurately & ensure that you receive a confirmation by email,” it added.
