How to apply for a Qatar visa online?

Recently, the Qatari government facilitated visa processing by allowing to apply for a visa through the Hayya Portal. The service initially created for issuing Hayya cards (the analog of Fun ID for the Qatar World Cup) allows you to digitally submit your paperwork and photos. And with a mobile Hayya app, you can get a Qatari visa right on your smartphone.
