Doha, Qatar – The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) has announced that, starting Sunday, February 2, 2025, its Single Window services will be available during evening hours at the Ministry's headquarters in Lusail. These services will operate from Sunday to Thursday, between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

Enhancing Investor Support

This initiative underscores MOCI's dedication to simplifying procedures and elevating the quality of services offered to investors. By extending service hours, the Ministry aims to provide immediate support to clients, ensuring efficient and smooth transaction processes.

About the Single Window Platform

The Single Window platform serves as a comprehensive digital interface designed to assist investors throughout various stages of establishing companies. From the initial planning phase, through registration procedures, to obtaining necessary licenses and approvals, the platform streamlines the entire process via a single smart electronic system.

Recent Enhancements to the Single Window Services

MOCI, in collaboration with the Ministries of Labour, Justice, and Interior, launched a new set of services to further streamline company registration procedures. These enhancements include:

  • Automated Processes: The issuance of commercial registrations has been improved by reducing requirements and automating internal procedures in coordination with relevant governmental entities. 
  • Integrated Services: The updated Single Window service now automatically adds the Computer Card to the commercial registration. Additionally, labor approvals are issued automatically with each new commercial registration, in coordination with the Ministry of Labour.
  • Digital Accessibility: Through collaboration between the Ministry of Interior and MOCI, the Metrash 2 Application now displays automated work permit approvals and provides a copy of the electronic Computer Card. 

These improvements aim to reduce the number of steps required to conduct business, allowing companies to receive their commercial registration and begin operations within a single day. The enhanced Single Window platform also enables start-ups to obtain immediate work permit approvals during the establishment phase and allows investors to select the nationalities of recruited workers. 

Benefits to the Business Community

By extending the availability of Single Window services into the evening, MOCI provides greater flexibility for investors and business owners, accommodating diverse schedules and facilitating easier access to essential services. This move is anticipated to enhance the overall business environment in Qatar, making it more conducive for both local and international investors.
