QATAR has launched a Visa on-line service for nationals of 33 countries including the UK, most European countries and the United States. The move is part of the Qatar Government's initiative launched to achieve the highest performance in executing administration transactions electronically, through streamlined business processes and integrated information technology solutions. It will help the leisure market too. Let us hope the idea catches on, particularly for India, not short on electronic services, but notorious for the long queues at its London visa department. http://www.qatarairways.com
