Police Raid at Fruit & Vegetables Market
Today at 8:00 am at the Fruit and Vegetables Market police conducted a raid. The whole area was cordoned off by the ISF internal security force. People were allowed to leave only after the presented their Qatari ID cards. Those who did not have their ID cards were put in a bus. Unfortunately I also dont carry my ID card all the time but after talking with a senior officer they allowed me to go only after they had checked my Land Cruiser's registration. Though it did take a lot of convincing but at least I will not be sent to the deportation centre. Not yet!
So my advise to all of you would be always carry your ID card with you all the time even in bed, as you never know when the Long Hands of the Law will get to you. And always carry a cellphone as it might come handy specially when you are at the Police Station
Lesson Learnt: Have your ID card with your all the time.
I need to learn to sing...

spotted at the F&V market.
It is understood that well known villains Tommy Tomato and Granny Smith were spotted at the F&V market. They are wanted in connection with a pear of robberies in one of the banana republics. Other less well known gang members are R. Adish, B Rocolli, Baby (face) Carrot and Spud (King Edward) Tatum. Female members of the gang can normally be identified by their big melons.

my son is 16 and we been here over 3 yrs now so at wat age does a kid get an ID?
life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......
If anyone of you were told many times that the machine for making ID is notworking in the morning, try to check it again the same day at later time. Some staffs just doesn't feel processing it i guess. Because it happened one tme to me when i was taking one for my daughter, the man incharge said the computer is down, come back tomorrow at six AM. When i came the next morning he said again the same, for couple of days i go at the same time and waited for at least two hours still no one bother to check if the computer is already working, he just keep telling to anyone comes that the computer is down. My daughter said let"s try in the aftenoon, and there it is we got it at last.
Been here for almost 4 months, no ID card and no medical test in horizon..only got my copy of passport..if got caught what to do???
Hi there how was Christmas??
This taking away the passport is not a good thing at all. I had a company in Dubai who was doing this but fortunately on the day when the passports came back the man delivered them to a villa near my ofice by mistake so I snatched my one right back, much to the dismay of the company owner. I just don't like to give it out of my hand at all and again the ID has to be renewed in January again - it is just a pain having to do this every year.
I have been waiting for my new ID since August... I only got my previous one in January '07.. now I carry that around even though it has expired, along with a copy of my current RP...
Problem with carrying your passport, is that our company takes ours away... so we can only carry copies...
I went to get my car papers and there the machine was broken too so nothing out of the ordinary.
However, a copy of the passport or ID is always good to have in case of an accident too.
RP copy is enough in ur pocket no need to carry ur passport 24/7,
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
and I was told to carry my passport with me always.
Your husband is lucky because he is going to get two ID card at a time:
one for the past year one for the current year.hhhhhh
How cool........ it happens most of the time ID card machine is out of order.
As far as I understand the ID card has to be renewed on a yearly basis at least mine has to be.
hahhaha !! .. well noticed Mr. Aghati, i was wondering the same that if someone does not have ID can buy a Landcruise and live in Qatar without ID then ;-)
By they way Landcruiser can be driven by a driver of a Qatari also who might be living on a expired Id and RP ???
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
my husband working for a national oil company, he been waiting for a year now for his ID card. He check every week and been told to wait ... and wait ... and wait ... *GRINCH*
'...they allowed me to go only after they had checked my Land Cruiser's registration...Lesson Learnt: Have your ID card with you all the time'
OR HAV A LANCRUZER...!!!
If you dont have the ID carry a Photo Copy of the RP
What u think if i have the old ID? Bcoz i company also didnt give me the ID for the first year. They were saying machine is broken and wait. After they renew my visa for 2nd year they gave me the last year ID which is already expired. Now still waiting for new ID? What will happen in this case? Cant they check our visa with our ID number? Bcoz i have my valid Qatar Driving Licencce.
SS
I think you are right I carry mine all the time too I don't want to have trouble for not having some ID - this has been the case in every country I have lived in.
Police all over the world always have shock check/patrol without prior warning. This is how they operate sometime to find some drugs, illegal immigrants, prostitution, ect. so in my conscious i always have my id with me everywhere i go outside the house.
Thats called Qatarization :D
new employee got no idea about system and how to use itjust knows how to damn them. :D
In result we are the one being crushed for not keepin the damn ID in our pockets.
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
It Takes more than a month and sometimes even more to get your RP renewed. If luckily during that time police checks your RP status, what are you suppose to tell them.
Sir I gave my passport to my Mandoob and he has been telling me for the past one month that my RP will be renewed soon and luckily if the machine is working I will have a valid ID card in one month. In the meantime I am an illegal in Qatar. So now are we supposed to go to the Immigration Department every day to check the status of our application?
This is BS.
i dont carry my ID with me always simple excuse on their face it with your immigration they are not giving it to me. now you should know this too those trucks importing vegetables and fruits are huge and it takes the inspector time to check each one of them even their dogs fail to do so because of strong and fresh odor/scent. so they bring in drugs and try to sell it here in that market. will you believe 10kg of that was discovered from them last time.it was given on Gulftimes.
The must thing is to carry your car registration and license with you.
[img_assist|nid=21285|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
The police are doing more and more checks and stoping vehicles askeing for ID an d car papers, so it is better to have everything up to date and all papers with you.
As most of us are expats we should carry the ID at all tims in case they stop and ask for to it.
Recently on a Friday morning I saw them over by Landmark Plaza stopping all the drivers and checking papers.
DaRuDe when I got my RP renewed the Immigration and visa authority did not give me the damn ID Card. They said that the bloody machine is not working so please check with us after one week. I checked and the machine was still out of order. So I also kinda forgot about the ID Card. If they dont issue the ID Cards when you renew your RP whose fault is it?
The same thing happened with the car technical inspection. They did not have the F stickers.
last time they caught drugs there i think it was 1 or 2 years ago. and some of them were staying illegal here about 20 were caugth selling vege there. not the matter of ID card. if you go to Abu Hamour area 25% of ppl living there doesnt have or never had ID cards.
