Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Interior directive to halve the traffic violation fines will be effective today, June 1, 2024. 

A 50% discount on traffic violation fines will be applied from June 1 to August 31, the Ministry of Interior had made an announcement on May 22, 2024, as it put in place new rules and procedures on traffic rule violators exiting the country and on exit permit for vehicles. 

Qatari citizens, residents, visitors, and GCC citizens will be eligible for the 50% discount on traffic violation fines. 

The discount will be applicable on violations recorded within a period not exceeding three years. 

This initiative from the Ministry serves as a step to encourage early payment of traffic violation fines.
