What is the travel ban in Qatar?

A travel ban, in general, is a command sent to all state ports by the governments to prevent an individual from leaving or entering the nation in accordance with a court or police order for the protection of personal interests in situations such as child custody, financial default, or criminal inquiry.

The citizens and residents of Qatar who have pending judicial cases in the country will be subject to the travel ban circular in Qatar. The travel ban imposed on such individuals limits them to travel in and out of Qatar.
