.قطر is the country-code domain extension of Qatar in Arabic script, managed by Communications Regulatory Authority. Whether a local presence is needed depends on conditions set out in the rules on this page. On other considerations, the rules shown on this page name this extension: .qatar (arabic IDN, .xn--wgbl6a): for local individuals or companies.
With Domgate, a .قطر domain costs €30 a year, at registration and at each renewal. After the expiry date, a domain can still be renewed late: 30 days (DNS are turned off immediately upon expiration date). A domain is transferred with its authorisation code (authcode), obtained from the current registrar. There is no restoration period for a deleted domain. A domain cannot be deleted before its expiry date.
